Gallop Cycle Revisited [SFM Resource]

Back to basics here. I hate that last gallop cycle I made roughly a year ago ( pacificpenguin.deviantart.com/… ), so I wanted to see if I could redo it better. Probably about 10 hours to make.

The squash-stretch isn't *quite* perfect, it floats a little bit, and it looks a little odd from the front, but I think it works for the most part. Sick of looking at it now, but let me know if there's anything you think could be improved. 

Created using the animator's survival guide horse gallop breakdown, 12 frames, which I did most of. 

I don't think the front legs reach quite far enough, perhaps something to consider if I do yet another gallop cycle in the future. 

(Edit: More up-down motion on the pelvis, tail edited. Tail has a little too much upkick I think, edit it if you like.)

Naturally, credit for using the animation is appreciated.
