@peppermintponies, I have raised foals and seen them chew, it doesn't stick out that much. And why would you base the new foal coats off of chewing horses anyway? Then there would be a bunch of tensed muscles...

I like the Knabstrupper, the Ahkal-teke, Quarter Pony, Marwari, Curly, and Appaloosa. That's all.
Everything else looks clunky and sad. The foals /all/ look unproportioned and the eyes are messed up. The foals we have now are cute and lively and posed nicely.

This is just. . .honestly, it's disappointing. I know Howrse has worked long and hard on these new graphics, and I respect that, but would it have hurt to leave things the way they were?

A quick side note - why doesn't the Lustiano foal have a mane??

I read a few pages back that the reason they look that way is because in order to fit the new tack (they didn't say anything about the manes and tails....) , they had to pretty much cut off the feathering so that the polo wraps would fit.


I think there are some solutions to fix the problems with the new looks of the gypsy vanners and the Friesian.

They have 2 options in my eyes. Leave both horses bodies as well as the mane and tail the same as the previous coats, and the slim down the feathering.
OR they could keep the original feathering and then once the polo wraps get put on, it would change and the polo wraps would be on with no feathering.

Well, the new Lusitano adult has no mane either. Keeping the theme i guess?

few theories
1) might not have a mane yet
2) mane could be on the other side
3) the mane could have been roached (cut off)

i believe the mane is supposed to be on the other side. I'd like to be able to see it, personally.

Hmm, perhaps I should have said - why did Howrse make the decision to nix the one feature that could have made the horse look natural?

It is a vein ya I know, but on Howrse it looks like a scar
By Gold And Silver, 31st March 2014 00:19:26
@ Speck0609 I totally agree. I love the new Lusitano body style (the adult one... I really don't like the foal) but the fact that there is no mane is not the nicest... it makes it look so unnatural....

Here is the current American Stock Horse graphic (Quarter Horse, Paint, Appaloosa, Argentinean Criollo)


Here is the one that was leaked to this topic a while back.



The general consensus is that it's neck is so long and thin that it looks like a "bobble head". Many people complained. It looks they read our comments and took action. Here is the "new and improved" graphic.



The neck is thicker and the chest is larger. They also lifted the head carriage by just a smidge and filled out the barrel. They're subtle tweaks, but if you open the image file urls on different tabs, and then flip back and forth between them, they're noticeable. I actually like it now! If this is what we can expect to see on our American Stock Horses and Argentinean Criollos, then I think I'll start breeding them more actively than I have in the past.

It also gives me hope that the other new coats we've complained about will be tweaked, too.

This is giving me hope that they might also change some of the others.

The bodies aren't so bad, but I really miss the feathers and the generous forelock. Having them so . . . nude spoiled the unicorn for me. default smiley :'(

They really did take all the cute, cuddly... shettiness out of them.
By Retired breeder, 31st March 2014 00:24:43
I do agree that the Shetlands look sort of strange, I work with one and the mane is fuller but other than that the coat looks pretty good

Shetlands have a certain pudgy-adorable quality that the new howrse model seriously lacks... [img] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Shetland_pony_dalmatian2.jpg [/img]
