Even with all the great replacer options on the Nexus, I still like and prefer the vanilla Skyrim horses. That said though, I thought their meshes could do with a bit of a facelift. I have upped the polygon count and smoothed the meshes of all vanilla horses, Shadowmere and Frost.
Those with a keen eye will also notice that I removed the additional "hair" meshes from the hooves, belly and cheeks of the horses. To me, these just look bad no matter what retexture you use and I think their absence actually improves the look of the horses.
Additional suggestions:
I make use of the following additional mods to achieve what you see in the screenshots. All of these are highly recommended. Load order priority as per list:
Update: Added a version to patch the higher poly models with the brilliant Realistic Primitive Horse Breeds by KrittaKitty. Give my files priority.
Compatibility:
This mod replaces only the mesh files, no plugin/ESP included. No textures are included in the download, your own load order will determine the actual textures used.
Installation:
Use your preferred mod manager to install as per normal.
Overwrite if prompted / give my mod priority.
