Horse Animset Pro (HAP) is not just for riding horses. You can mount all kinds of animals of Malbers and ride with them. Here's a quick setup which uses the character of Maksim Bugrimov and wires it to the Rider of HAP. That rider has the advantage of having binds for mounting the animals, glide feature, etc. When that's done the riding comes out of the box with the Malbers animals.

The scene is NatureManufacture's Modular Castle & Dungeon. Very beautiful asset and performing very well. One thing to note: For whatever reason the ground is set to layer Water. I guess that's because internally the roads are created with LVE/RAM. Would be nice if they could change the layer to a proper one in a future update. You can work around this in the Malbers assets by setting it as additional layer for the Ground. I noticed the glider was a bit off from the hands in the video, so you should adjust that in case you follow the setup.

The assets have so many more features to offer. If you follow the setup and explore the scenes and features further, eg with Orcs and Trolls of Maksim which would fit in perfectly, please do share what you create 😀

The camera and application setup was done with my asset Genesis. You don't really need it for this scene, but I have some quick setup wizards there as you can see. I probably should extract those and make them a dedicated asset, but I'd prefer if Unity would have something like that internally integrated, eg with CineMachine.
