Could I please get some visual help on how to animate a horse more realistically, not just with the right and left side but front and back too?


I would be very grateful if some skillful artists could show some rough sketches of a horse's walk complete cycle

Thank You!

You can use some of these animations as a reference.

  Thanks! These links will help greatly! But any chance I could get some more front and back animations as well?

Thanks! Those GIFs are helping! I have Adobe Image Ready - it allows me to open Animated GIFs into separate slides - so, I'm able to individually edit them and add detail to the pics!
