⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community-approved with 892 endorsements and over 37k downloads, so it's a proven favorite.
Gives horses a more natural look, fixing the 'terrible' original eyes.
Lightweight texture mod that won't impact performance.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2008, so it may not be compatible with newer Oblivion versions or mod setups.
Only changes eyes—if you want a full horse overhaul, this won't cover other aspects.
No screenshots or detailed install instructions provided, so you're flying blind until you test it.
