Swapping out one character for another

I'm sure there's a stupidly simple way of doing this, but I'm not having any luck.

With the https://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-dark-knight-armor-for-daz-horse-2 there are wearable presets that place a generic Gen character on the HD Dark Horse. There are then other poses presets for hands & reins.

Separately, I made an actor and wearable preset that I want to swap out.  I eventually found the correct Key/item/drag/selection combo to get DS to ask if I want to replace the character & it does, but leaving the Gen8 male name instead of my characters. But so far so good, he's swaped & atop of the horse. Now though when I select him & apply the wardrobe preset, it does but now he's no longer on the horse.

Is this something to do with my wearable preset or ...?  

Is there simpler way to do this?

    When saving a wearable in the second tab of the wearable popup make sure you don't have the pose checked, by default it should be unchecked but if it's not pose will save with.

    Have you tried saving the posed generic figure as a pose preset and applying that to your character.

    I'm sure that's it.  I recall checking that so will try again a bit later today.

    That's an interesting idea.  Will try once I sort the other issue out.

    Yay, that worked. 

    Is there a more "intuitive' way of swapping out a character though, as in an actual menu item?  Current way seems more of a Secret handshake to me.
