Horse combat/archery bug

[CheshireTrans]

So, I don't often use horses in skyrim, they're clunky and seeing as I'm normally a vampire with Better Vampires installed, they're slower than my own movement speed.

 

That said, for my own immersions sake I was attempting to ride Arvak accross the country. When I came upon some enemies I attempted to initiate bow combat via horseback, and to my surprise, Arvak began to rear and I heard the bash sound effect, losing my shot. I've never had this happen before, and don't know what is causing it, I do not have any horse related animations installed, so far as I know. I am using Pretty Combat, and the Magic casting animations by the same author. As such I have FINIS installed, and I've chosen the XP32 Extended skeleton, I don't know that this is an animation glitch, but I'm not sure what else might have effected it.

If anyone has had the same issue and solved it, or can help me to solve it, it would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to start from scratch.

 

Edit: I FIXED IT!!! I had forgotten that I'd installed the playable monster mod, it didn't work smoothly so I just stopped using it, but didn't think about it. Essentially I was triggering the horse attack every time I attacked. Removed Playable monster mod and it runs smoothly. Thanks twistedfatal for your help, it was the straw that made things click.

can you post your mod list

 

it looks like your jump button is bound to the same key as your fire button, hence the reason why the horse keeps going into a stand still jump animation every time you fire. i suspect a mod conflict.

 

basically what your horse is doing is what happens when you use jump in a stand still motion (in case it was not obvious). basically if you was to fire whilst galloping your horse would then start jumping every time you fire

 

this issue does not sound like it is connected to animations, it is connected to key bindings, hence the need for your mod list, as you may have a mod that binds keys to horses. also if you happen to be using SKSE can you list what plugins you have for it, as they do not show in the mod list.

This is what it looks like currently... sorted by loot after attempting a skeleton reinstall.

 

Edit: Also, testing the theory, the animation for simply rearing, as it does when you jump while standing still, isn't as pronounced. It rears a little less, and the whinny is less intense. I'm actually pretty sure that its the horse's attack animation. And I might have figured out my problem... 75 4b Playable Monster Mod.esp might have caused it. I downloaded it for fun, but my game crashed pretty quick so I forgot about it...
