I'm a bit disappointed in the Marwari's new coat Haha they are still beautiful tho

It looks like the saddle is too small, like a children's saddle on an adult sized horses

Oh wow... What happened to it's manes? And its neck is so thick...

I feel like their legs should be longer...? My Tennessee Walker does not have short legs... She 16HH lol

So how many coats have changed? And which ones? At first it was just Arabians, Thoroughbreds and KWPNs, but now there are loads of different coats. Will this be another complete change of coats? Because I think there was before, but surely not again?

How can people love the new foals? they look angry or liveless, the previous ones had better pose and looked alive. This is an artist opinion.

Your right, they do look less real, but some of the adults look more like the breeds they are meant to be. Thoroughbreds don't look as good though, I don't think. They look less like racehorses, although I suppose you could say that not all Thoroughbreds are racers.

Rainbow and color lints

I love the new foals. Not only for them looking cuter, but because there's more of a variety of them.

Before, several breeds shared foal coats which didn't share adult coats. Despite it looking nice, this shape of foal coat been shared for probably half the breeds on howrse did make determining what breed your foal was a matter of having to scroll down and check.

As that appears to be your own edit, it doesn't really belong in the spoiler topic.

To me, some of these new foal coats (like lusitano) resemble the coats of when Howrse first started. Is that just me? No?

Bookworm, the style is completely different, how could it resemble the v1 coats?

reposting new coats

I don't like most of the changes. Only prefer the Irish Hunter and PSH.

Rest, really, really dislike. Hate most of the ponies ones, and the Friesian looks pretty dreadful, as does the GV.

Also, all the saddles are too far back, especially the girth...

I don't see the point of this change.

I like (most of) the new horse coats. I'm not so fond of the foals.

I really like the new foals, and the new coats in general. Or maybe that's just me realizing that they're here to stay and complaining about them has no purpose, other than causing unnecessary misery and drama

They're cute, and pixel horses don't have to be realistic (and since there's really no realism on this game anyway, I don't see why we need completely realistic pictures).

Woot! They updated the Fjords! No more funky, chopped feet. Not fond of he foals though. It's a good thing my BLUPs don't stay that way for long and I don't pay attention to the extras lol

The foals look huge in the setting when you go to take care of them, The GV's the more I look at them look absolutely terrible, That's my main breed and I will be angry and probably sell them all when they change.

The artist who drew the new coats is obviously talented at digital drawings, but does not know much about horse anatomy and conformation. I feel like the colours and shading and style is great, but so many of the new horses arent very realistic at all, it doesnt fit into a game that thrives on realism. Necks so thick, legs too small, faces oddly shaped, it just takes away from the game I find. Some coats I actually quite like, like the marwari and hanoverian but still....many new designs are not true to the breed.

How do others do it?

Totally agree. I don't like most of the coats right now, but in time, I'll probably love them! I'm already really liking the foal coats. So cute.

As far as I can tell, the coats that have changed so far are:
-Arabian/Shagya Arabian
-Australian Pony/Connemara/Welsh
-Barb/Canadian Horse/Lustiano/Peruvian Paso/Purebred Spanish Horse
-Brumby/Icelandic
-Irish Hunter/KWPN/Holsteiner/Russian Don
-Quarter Pony
-Thoroughbred

And I'm not sure that the Fjord is even really changing? Unless I missed something, the new coat and the old one look almost identical.

And the plan is for all the coats to be updated so they will be compatible with the new visible tack sets. Plus, it's been a while since they updated all the coats, and some of the newer breeds look so out of place with the older breeds, since the art style is different.

Any one have any clue what the next promo will be?

The foals have to small bodies compared to their head size
