Here are all of the Paint Horse color variations on the new breed artwork

ponyhorsegirl - Howrse did actually change the Quarter Horse/Stock Horse images after the feedback they received about the neck being too long and thin, so it's entirely possible that they will change the Mustangs accordingly. I can't guarantee this will happen, but it HAS happened once already, so another time doesn't suspend disbelief.

After all, most people who are unhappy about the Mustang coat (which is almost everyone who has seen it) is upset over the neck's thickness only. This makes an improvement a very simple task for the Howrse team, and doesn't seem too out of the way or complex (as changing the Vanners or Friesians would be)

Did someone say the Knab breed was being changed?! I'm started to collect that breed just because of it's looks, I hope it doesn't change!

Good point. I forgot about that. Hopefully they will alter the Mustang image then.

Pony fan - the Knabs actually look really good, from most peoples' opinions *there be spoilers ahead*

I agree. They should change the Mustang's neck. I am fine with the GV and the Friesian. They would look better with more fluffy manes, tails, and feathers.

Anyone got all the new coats/colour variations for the Gypsy Vanner? If they don't look nice, I'm selling all mine...

I like (what I am assuming are) the Tobiano and Tovero coat colours, but the Overo one doesn't really look right. To me, anyway. I think it's just the fact that the whole face is white. I know that it is a marking that can and does occur in real life, but... There's something odd about it...

They are on Page 206, in a post with both Shetlands and Gypsy Vanners.

are donkeys looks being changed like all the horses and ponys looks are anybody know if changing the donkeys looks to

It is generally thought that the donkeys are not being changed.

I suspected that the slimmed down Mustang was not official when I noticed the image's url, but the bubble certainly has been burst, all the same. My hope was so high that I was willing to believe it might be an official graphic that you had downloaded and then later hosted in a private Photobucket account so that you could share it here.

Now I hope that the admins read how much we preferred your version and that there is still time to alter theirs.

I won't hold my breath, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

(Also, how do you modify quotes? I have seen many players do so, but I have yet to figure it out. It would be very useful for quoting smaller passages or "quotes that include quotes". Could someone who knows please reveal the secret? )

Do you mean only including part of a post, like I just did with your post? If so, you just highlight the part that you want to quote and then you press the quote button.

I don't think the Shetland legs are small enough, from the shetlands at my yard, they are quite stubby haha.

Not 100% sure I like the Gypsy's yet

Just bringing this back near the front of the discussion
It shows all of the color variations for the Shetland Ponies and Gypsy Vanners

I won't get into the feathering problem on the Vanners, but even If I over look it, another thing that strikes me as odd is their manes, they look like they need more detail and to me almost look like a blob of color on their necks. I mean this as constructive criticism. Does anyone else get what I mean?

The donkeys have never been changed. They are the same now as they were during V1. It would be wonderful if they finally changed them. In my opinion, they are screaming for an update louder than anything on Howrse. Of course, there is no way for us to really know what Owlient plans to do with them, but they are so focused on horses, ponies, tack, ECs, and other things around the site right now that I think it's a very safe bet to say that donkeys will be overlooked this time, just like they were last time, and the time before that.

Such a shame! Long ears (my term of affection for donkeys) are offered very little respect or appreciation in the real world. It seems that is playing out here, too.

Naw, theyre changing the vanners. Ah this is also pretty but the old ones had this kind of smirk,

Oh, I really like those Paints are my favorite breed in real life. I may have to start breeding them again on the game.

Yes, that's it exactly! Thank you so much, ponyhorsegirl!

Another thought on donkeys. If they are not updated, then they will not be able to wear visible tack.

I'm pretty happy with the new QH/Paint...etc. Those poor horses have been suffering from shortened noses for far too long.


Donkeys could also use a new image....I'm all for that.


I do hope the admins, etc. listen on some of the coats. Most of them I am okay with...but the few that are awful (Mustangs especially)....wouldn't take too much to fix.

I love the Friesians how it is right now. I've seen the new version passing by, but I think it would not look like a Friesian when it will be changed into the new version. Of it would be changed I will stop breeding them within a second!

I think the new friesians look absolutely ridiculous! They were somewhat okay before but now they look even worse. I mean, for goodness sakes, their necks look super fakey, and their manes and tails are SHORT!!! Friesians in real life have long, beautiful, wavy mane and tails! This is just mocking them!

Rounded up another breeds colors! Here is the Akhal-Teke's full range of colors on the new breed artwork!


Any suggestions for me on what new breed artwork you would like to see colors of next? I'll gather them next
