Equine Avatars
There are two baseline variants of equines:
Horses and Zebras
Horses are the domesticated descentdants of equines from the various steppes of the Eurasian continent, which did decide to stick around with humans. There is a rich variety of races available, mostly distiguished by their furpatterns, which will slowly be expanded over time.
Zebras are the mostly undomesticated wild equines of the African continent. Due to not having been domesticated, there are less variants of them around.

Mesh Import Information
Due to the new design process, all equine components are “mostly the right size” when you assume a large avatar. We scaled down the in-world avatars to about 85% of the source file sizes.

Mesh Components and UV Maps for horse avatars
The Mesh components are the parts that are tacked on to a human base avatar and are identical for all horse avatars.
The UV Maps can be used as a transparent overlay to create your own individualized Skins, alpha layers and BOM style clothes.
The human body UV Map you can download from Robinwood's SL Tutorials .

Reusing Shark Avatar Eyes
To reuse Shork Shark Eyes, Aries Toony or [SKS] HD ones in-world, equip (a renamed copy of) the eyes and apply the following settings in the “Object” tab:
| Eye | Settings | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Right | Position | <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> |
| Size | <0.06000, 0.06000, 0.06000> | |
| Rotation | <270.00000, 20.00000, 90.00000> | |
| Left | Position | <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> |
| Size | <0.06000, 0.06000, 0.06000> | |
| Rotation | <270.00000, 340.00000, 90.00000> |
Alternatively create boulders with the parameters stated above, download the eye-texture pack from the Shark avatar page, select the texture and apply the texture of your choice to the newly made eyes.
Remember to scale the texture for the eyes to horizontal 1 and vertical 2 - but you're welcome to experiment, rotating the texture might look funky!
