The new Arabs are almost exactly the same as the old Arabs?

New Arab
Old Arab

The only thing that looks cartoony to me is the mane and tail, and this was already something that the old Arab was guilty of as well.

@Svengali thanks so much!

Thanks for the spoilers!
The Akhalteke are beautiful

Svengali - the Quarter horses have actually been updated after all the feedback Howrse received

Wow, the improved new QH/Paint/Appaloosa one looks great! I do hope they work on the Gypsy a bit, but overall, I really like the new coats.

What happened to the poor mustang? It looks like it has a brutal case of strangles.

I actualy prefer the new coats. They are more realistic, not that cartoon like they used to be. Especially I'm 100% for the change of shetland.

I really like the Newfoundland Ponies, I'm definitely going to start breeding them. I also like the new Akhal-Tekes, Brumbies, and Welsh. Yes, the mustang looks awful, but you guys should at least be respectful of the artist, I know for a fact that they're a lot better at drawing horses than I am, and I would be sad if people were posting mean stuff about my art. Try finding the good in the horses instead of all the bad.

I would be worried if a professional artist couldn't take a little honest critique. Some of the coats (like the paints before they got changed and gypsy vanner coat as it is at the moment) don't quite reflect the breed they are supposed to. There is nothing wrong with pointing that out while we still can.

I love the new coats. And I have to say its rather funny how many people say they hate them, but when horse updates in the future they'll all have a fit again because they've grown to like the coats. Happens every time they update.
It does get rather annoying to hear all the rants and whining though though

That's great news! It is definitely an improvement.

I think the new Newfoundland pony looks awful. I'm so disappointed...

Okay, i know this isn't really nice but i am FURIOUS right now! I just got over how dumb the old Shetland ponies looked and started breeding them, and now they are going to look even MORE hideous! I'm sorry, but i have three Shetland Ponies in real life, and they look NOTHING like that! They are FUZZY for goodness sakes!

I know , I've had that list for a while and forgot to update it , I first posted on page 80 I think

Does anyone know if the donkey coats will be changed?

I love the newest Quarter Horse coats, they look awesome and much more alert!

I don't believe they will be

They won't change

Calm down; the old Shetland Ponies looked too cartoony to me, but I love the new ones.

There were several horse breeds that I deliberately never used (quarter horse I'm looking at you) simply because I hated the coat so much. So seeing some of the changes is quite nice! I do feel like the breeds could have used a little more distinction from each other, for example the previous thoroughbred you KNEW was a thoroughbred (or something equally fast and skinny) but now it just sort of blends in with all the others. And now most of them have exactly the same pose, which is a lot less exciting

There are plenty of anatomical mistakes in them, and I'll be avoiding a few breeds all the same, and I'll miss some of the old coats (my long maned spanish horses!) but overall they're an improvement

I'm ok with some of the coats. I really like the coats that have been released so far besides the tb that is. And now that they changed the paints I live them. But the Friesian looks really off to me. They need to darken the coat. It looks grey now and the neck seems a little deformed and also I think the head is a bit to thick or bulbous or something. Then of course the tails kind of weird too. The Shetlands I guess I can get used to. Not crazy about them. The brumbies are ok, but the mustangs seem a bit off to me. Not sure exactly how. Really don't like the Aussies and I breed a lot of those.

Wait.

So all the horse coats are going to change so that tack will fit them, but the donkeys are going to stay the same? The donkeys wear tack too, so why wouldn't they be included in the coat change? Not to mention, I'd love to see some spotted donkeys/more donkey colours

I don't know if the donkeys will or won't be changing, but I don't see why they wouldn't if Howrse is changing everything for the sake of fitting tack on it.

I have to admit I have taken a disliking to some of these new coats, especially for the Arabian and Friesian. I liked the nobility and "royalty" of them both. I think the new coats have really humbled these breeds.
It would be amusing if the old Arabian/Friesian coats were sold as Golden Apple coats. I know I for one would buy into that idea...
Thank you for changing the Quarter Horse breed! It's much better, and although I liked the old-old coat, this one will do for the present moment.
But yes... I think changing coats is the price to pay for showing tack. I can't wait to see the result of this tacking-up!
Keep up the good work, Ow!

Yes, or even as a separate BM Item... Where you could only get the coat relevant to your horse's current colour...
