I'm really happy with how this turned out. I studied a lot of references trying to get this right. I used the show as a main reference and added my own touch to it. This is all animated in place with the Rig's Root doing all the movement. The eureka moment was finally figuring out how to make it so when the hooves are on the ground they don't slide; the mostly plain ground may not show it well, but I got it perfect! I made sure no parts ever collide with each other and the hooves never clip through the ground.

Don't pay too much attention to the background or sound. I just threw some pieces together to build some sort of scene, and some pieces' textures obviously don't scale too well. It was also surprisingly difficult finding show-like hoofstep sounds and syncing them to feel right was also difficult; I still don't think I got it right.
