The Teegles at least are usually real world horses. But they're crazy expensive and basically you need empty regions to have the land impact to rez one (well no, they're "just" 40 which is not too much more than many land vehicles, but it feels super high when you're thinking of putting one on your linden home).

One it's own would feel lonely anyways 🐎

I went to a number of the most popular shops and took their vehicles for a test drive. Many over corrected on turns, which I found disappointing, or had annoying badly looped revving sounds. The one that I found to be the easiest to drive with the most reasonable pricing was Surplus Motors. I didn't get around to trying them all, so I may amend this selection in future.

Olympus motors were fun to race and worth a mention.

   On ACS-scripted vehicles you can usually adjust the steering, but it can take a bit of work and testing to figure out how you like it to be set up.

   Never tried changing the sounds, not sure whether it's possible (unless they leave the scripts modifiable, in which case you could go stick your own UUIDs into it - but that'll be even trickier than tuning the steering!).

   Most vehicle creators use ACS, it's only really a matter of settings after that - if you want to try something with a wholly different scripts you can go check out the ones using GEMC's scripts; there's several stores on the location with demo rezzers for their vehicles: https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/NTBI/84/87/24

   There's also Animat's scripts, off the top of my head I know this store has used that: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/213799

   Then there's another one which I can't really remember the name of, but I know Angie's Garage uses it: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/43571

   There's also a few creators using other scripts like Manji ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Burns/99/62/77 ) and Sumi ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Neumoegen/21/185/85 ). There are other stores around the same area you can peek into and try their demos.
