I really like my ambient horses mod but I wanted to make improvements to it in areas that it fell short in before. Here's some of the changes below:
 
- Stables now have unique horse coats again. This part of the mod is optional, so feel free to use other horses in their place.
 
- I got permission to add in the mod "No More Horse Breeds" to my mod so now the stat cards, compendium, and inspect prompt won't display incorrect information
 
- Foals now spawn in the wild and in pastures; rarely. If you don't wish to use foals, delete ambientpedmodelsets.
 
- Van der Linde gang members and other special characters now ride unique horses again. This part of the mod is optional, so feel free to use other horses in their place
 
- More draft horses, including a Friesian with a model provided by bolju (used with permission).
 
- Fifty or so more ambient horse coats with custom textures, these ones should serve to be unique but also shouldn't stand out too much while playing
 
- I have bigger plans for the future of this mod, so as always: stay tuned
 
- Removed the shine effect applied to horses, if for some reason you prefer the shine delete the files for p_c_horse_01_merge. Also added heterochromia, big thanks to KristianD3 for making this part of the mod, go check out some of the mods made by them.
 
 
Includes a merge tutorial for ambientpedmodelsets
 

Once it's merged or the lightweight version is used this mod should be compatible with every mod except some that edit horse textures.
 
 
Known Bugs:
- Most horses ridden or driven by NPCs as well as wild horses will default to a beautiful Bay when saved as your own. There is currently no way around this, if you wish to save a specific coat you will need to download the individual file for said horse and replace a different horse with the coat you want.
 
-On rare occasions, a man will be seen brushing the air. This can be fixed by removing the ambientpedmodelsets file, though foals will no longer spawn and non-wild horses will appear in the wild.
 
-This is significantly larger than any other mod I've made so there's bound to be some errors, if you find any: let me know. Do try to make sure that you are able to replicate any bugs you find and ensure that it isn't due to another mod, otherwise, I appreciate any constructive feedback.
 
 
Fixed Bugs:
- Fixed the bug with invisible horses during the intro to "My Last Boy"
- Fixed a foal being ridden during "No, No, and Thrice No" as well as the one being used by Pinkertons in Blackwater. Also fixed a random encounter not appearing that previously involved a foal
 
 
Version History:
Version 1.01: Removed shine from the horses and fixed a Vanilla issue with Arthur's Horse's tail being white
 
Version 1.02: Reworked foals to fix a few bugs with them, they now spawn in pastures rarely.
 
Version 1.03: Reworked various coats that didn't look good enough; removed three for similar reasons, removed shine from two horses that still had it, and reworked wild horses to stop as many non-wild horses from spawning in the wild and vice versa.
 
Version 1.03.13: Fixed an issue with invisible horses in the intro to "My Last Boy".
 
Version 1.03.2: Improved a few coats I was unsatisfied with.

Version 1.03.21: I realized Arthur calls the White Arabian 'the white one' in a mission so changed the horse to reflect that, and fixed a few other horse textures I wasn't satisfied with.
 
Version 1.03.22: Fixed pruning effect caused by the shine remover (see image above) and made some horse textures higher quality.
 
Version 1.03.221: I've integrated "My Last Boy Horse Error Fix" so Eagle Flies and Rains Fall now use their own horses during My Last Boy, make sure you do not have that mod installed. Also updated Rachel

These mods are REQUIRED in order for this to work:
- Scripthook RDR2 (Latest version)
 
- Lenny's Mod Loader (Latest version)
 
- Version.dll or Online Content Unlocker (Latest version)

What does this mod do?
Main File: This mod takes the horse harness from online and removes the lantern altogether, replacing the large saddle bag. As a result of this, some NPCs will also use harnesses which feels more natural than you being the only one to use it. It also features different color variations depending on which color large saddle bags you select.

Tutorial Version: Contains a tutorial so that your horse can wear the horse harness from Online and keep all components intact.

Is this mod accurate to the real world and more specifically, the Old West?
This mod aims to add an extra layer of realism to the game as breast collars were used from time to time in the Old West and they are also used sometimes in Western movies. Cowboys and riders today use breast collars to keep their saddles from sliding backwards, so if you use one of these IRL I hope this mod allows you to better recreate your actual saddle setup.

How do I install this mod?
You'll need Lenny's Mod Loader and Version.dll in order for it to work.
 
Main File: Simply drop the file into your lml > stream and you should be good to go. Once the mod is installed, equip the large saddle bag via the stable if you haven't already and it should appear on your horse.. unfortunately you won't be able to see the collar until you exit the stable but you'll know it's equipped once your saddle bag goes away.
 
Tutorial Version: Follow the tutorial.

I happen to like my saddle bags, can this mod replace something else?
Main File: Yes, it should also be able to replace horns, small saddle bags, or bedrolls. All you need to do is change the filename to the name of the model's .ydd file which you can find through OpenIV and you should be good to go!
 
Tutorial Version: The tutorial will show you how to keep them!
 
 
NOTES:
 
You only need one version or the other, though you're welcome to use both if you so desire.
 
While the colors in the "color variations" picture reflects the main file, you can sort of change the color a bit for the tutorial version by editing the three numbers following value=  in the Step 3 file. Use the horse color palette from here to get an idea of what the color is gonna be.
