Just do a google for 'free horse 3ds', as 3ds is the most common format for decent free models it seems. Then, pick your breed and discipline. 😉

Of course, you might end up with a Lippizaner like this one:

whose neck seems to be as big as her body barrel.

Some free ones here:

These cost $$:

If you don't have the 3DS In add-on, go to Help > Goodies to download it so you can import the models you find. Be sure to check the box for smoothing. If the models come with textures, the textures will be included in the created GDL object.

i know i've seen a GDL horse before . . .
