I found a solution to the glowing eye problem for Better Frost and Better Shadowmere. You can open the permafrost.nif or nightmere.nif using nifscope, click on "eyeglow", find under "BSeffectShaderProperty", under "shader flag 1", remove the flag "soft effect". This way, you will get your glowing eye back.
it should be in the same folder as the saddles, meshes/actor/horse/character asset. If you can't find it, then you need to download one of the horse mesh replacement mod by the mod author here.
so I don't know if this is a recent thing, with the new Skyrim update and all, however Shadowmeres eyes are not glowing, I tried the improved shadowmere mod as well and the eyes still are not glowing, so it sounds like an update issue, unless there's something I'm missing.
I am using the XBox mod and my shadowmere's eyes glowed blue once in his first fight, a spriggan.. ever since then no glow. I don't mind him being understated, he is so cool with the smoke effect at night, but I came here to see if anyone else also had this issue.
I don't know if this mod is the cause but my character has a weird magic effect all around them. It may be from Shadowmere, since he also does this effect.

Does this include AI packages that simply make him return to the Sanctuary when dismissed?
Did the creator move it to another location where I can download it?
How do you feel about adding a spell that can summon Shadowmere to your location?
Tracked for now :)
