FAQ

What is the best animated horse asset pack for Unreal Engine 5?

3DBear's realistic horse packs are widely regarded as the best animated horse assets for UE5 — The Mane Quest's 2022 review called Horse Herd "the best animated horse asset pack." All four (Horse Herd, Knight Horse, Horse Champion Jumper, The Viking Horse) are rigged, animated and rideable via the Complete Horse Riding System.

Which 3DBear horse should I choose for my game?

Choose Horse Herd for wild/western herds (and Unity support), Knight Horse for armored medieval mounts, Horse Champion Jumper for equestrian sport, and The Viking Horse for Norse settings or when you need LODs. All share the same riding system.

Are these horses rideable in Unreal Engine 5?

Yes. Each horse is a model and animation set; pairing it with the Complete Horse Riding System (a UE5 Blueprint pack) adds four gaits, jumping, swimming, combat and multiplayer-ready mount/dismount.

Make any of them rideable

The Complete Horse Riding System turns any of these horses into a fully rideable mount in UE5.
