Instructions:

IMPORTANT: FIRST SET UP THE SIZES OF THE OBJECTS. Delete all extra frames so there is only one frame.  Do this by clicking in the second black frame number area in the middle of the animation controls and type 1.  Poser will ask you if you want to delete the frames, say yes.

Gosha is set to 60% for this animation - click on his whole body options and change the overall scale from 100% to 60%. Apply Goshas clothes and conform to Gosha then change their overall scale to 60%.  

Load the Millennium Cat.  Apply the Cat Saddle and conform to the Millennium Cat.  Set the overall scale of the saddle seat to 74%, the overall scale of the upper stirrups to 100%, and the overall scale of the lower stirrups (where the feet go) to 70%.

Now you can apply the animation poses.
 
The reins require two seperate poses listed as Reins1 and Reins2.  The first is for the bone movement and the second applies one of the magnets to the reins.

**************************************************************************

If you would like to change the camera angle, lighting, or other settings, go to frame 1 to do so!  If the animation looks choppy, make sure you have unticked the "Skip Frames" option under Animation > Skip Frames.  If you wish to make any changes to the position of the animation, move the Body and not the hips.  The hips settings are a part of the animation and changing it will ruin the movement.

When you are happy with your animation, go to Animation > Make Movie and choose the format you would like it saved in.

Troubleshooting:

Problem: The animation is all choppy.
Solution: Make sure the "Skip Frames" option under Animation > "Skip Frames" is unticked.

Problem: When changing the light or camera settings, everything goes all over the place.
Solution: Change light and camera settings at frame 1.
