Can't quite figure out a method to make the horses go up and down. Suggestions?

May have encountered an issue with 1403. Kept dumping me back to the desktop when I tried to export the sequence (the posed pony) as a 3ds to reimport and add to the crown object. That may not have been the best approach, but it's the one I settled on. I had to go back to 0.98 version, which had no problem making the 3ds file. FWIW, it's proving hard to go back to the 0.98 version after working with 1403 for a while.  Thanks, Steve! You really have improved your program.

Nice!

I remember that you can use script activation on objects, and use the timeline to move, rotate, etc., the objects.

For example, the code from the ASL manual:
"A Controller expression script Here is a script for an element's size controller:
$scale = 1 + sin(time*PI*4)*0.5;
The size of the element oscillates between 0.5 and 1.5 every 2 seconds.

Then you could do an up and down movement, in a loop, something like:
// Movement with easing (slower at the extremes)
float posY = offset_y + amplitude * (sin(2 * PI * time / period) * 0.5 + 0.5);

PS: This link show how use the "Editing Expressions" and timeline time:
