Liquid GS should work ok. Try applying it with an old brush, and brushing across the seam in short strokes, rather than down the length of the seam.

What you might need to do is build it up in a couple of layers: apply it once, wait for it to dry, then apply again.

You can also sand it back once it's dry for a better finish.

I use Vallejo Plastic Putty, which is the same sort of thing but I find it a better product.

Dealing with this was easier on my Wargs as the fur texture was nice to work with and easier to cover up. Doing horses is harder for sure. I use the traditional greenstuff and it's really important to sand it down lightly after it dries to get a smooth surface.
