About this mod

A small patch that removes the large horse statue in the middle of avenue, and adds two horses by the entry bridge braziers. Each brazier was given its own light source for an impressionable effect.

Whiterun Horse Statue adds that missing bit of culture and posh that the strategic trading city of Whiterun really needed. If you also use an armor replacer and a cloak mod you can have a really nice horse theme going. Add in a few texture mods and a city overhaul of choice and you can have an amazingly nice looking Whiterun. Now if only someone would make a mod that adds a large herd of horse to wander the tundra plains west of the city...

I loved everything about Whiterun Horse Statues. I especially loved the huge pedestal that the mod placed right in the middle of the avenue at the main gate. But, that pedestal was also problematic. While gorgeous, it blocked the avenue. Yes, there are different versions that move it around a bit. But, to me, it always seemed to be in the way.

I spent a lot of time trying to place it somewhere that the player usually traveled past. I couldn't replace the well in the market; survival mods use it, many city mods alter it, and lots of NPC mods use it. I couldn't put it in the round garden by the Hall of the Dead as too many mods alter that space too. I tried to shrink it, put it on a different shaped pedestal, place it next to one of the streets - I just couldn't find a suitable location (I do have a couple ideas for locations out in the hold though).

I finally decided to remove the large horse statue in middle of avenue, and add two horses by the entry bridge braziers. Each brazier was also given its own light source for an impressionable effect.

See the before and after pics - I included pics of the other horse locations from Whiterun Horse Statue and Capital Whiterun Expansion.

In SSEEdit I flagged the .esp as an .esl
