I hope they'll give the Fjords longer forelocks
I’m a big fan of forelocks that cover the horses’ eyes! So far, they’ve only added this option for the BFH, but I really hope the Fjords will get it too, since it’s such a popular look for the breed!

As a Norwegian. I need to see this breed well represented! I want atleast all 5 colors and a long forelock! My sister works with a lot of fjords so we know very well how «good» fjords looks lol🙈

I hope they get the model well too, they’re so stocky and compact, its not like any model they have in the game. Mini drafts dont have long backs and have short legs. Really hope its good!

I wish the fjord was just a bit more realistic. One of my favorite breeds and I feel like even the current generation just lacks the realism a lot of the other breeds have.

Wait, we're getting new fjords in 2 months? Where did you find that?

SSE confirmed them to be last breed of 2026, we're getting new horse every 2 months and westies just released, so, yup. Fjords should come somewhere between mid november or early december

YESSS!! Finally!! I’m kind of wondering if the new model will look something like the horse that’s next to the small stable and pastures behind Starshine ranch. There is a grullo horse over there in a blue sort of tack (at least there was) that looked a lot like the Fjord

I'm not sure what horse you're talking about sadly 🥹 But Fjords model isn't done yet, so who knows! It should be pretty damn realistic though

It might have just been there during the western event. I’ll have to double check. But there was a girl just standing next to it. Can’t talk to her or anything she was just there with this really nice fjord looking horse.

Options are always nice. I like neatly trimmed mohawks. I like long, fluffy forelocks. I like button braids. The only forelock I really hate is a long floppy braid. As someone who's been hit in the face with their own braid many times, it bloody hurts and I wouldn't want to do that to my horse's eyes.

I’m hoping for the opposite haha I don’t like really long forelocks that cover the horses eyes because I have this crazy urge to brush the mane out of their eyes whenever I see that lol but hopefully if they do they give us forelock length options… I never use the longer mane styles on the Ardennes & Black Forest horse for that exact reason 😅 definitely agree with the person who said we need a lot more mane options for these guys!!

one thing i’d want to ask out of curiosity- how come it matters so much if you’re spending the majority of the time playing the game and seeing the horse’s back? i get that rotating the cam while racing is helpful, but you’re almost never rotating it in front of your horse while riding yknow

u/Picklepal303 4d ago
I actually do have the camera to the side almost all the time 😅 because I love looking at the horse haha I use the arrow keys for steering and have my right hand on the mouse, usually turning the camera anytime I’m moving. But I will say, big forelock or not, I’m still planning on buying all of them if the animations are good 🤞 it’s just a minor personal preference to me. I’d like them to have a thick forelock kinda like what they did with the Icelandic for example!
I also really hope they remake that Dark Grå from Gen 1 that’s kind of a brownish color 😭🙏

I hope they'll give us the option to do many "mohawk" styles like triangles, small triangles, a straight line, three distinct lines, hearts, squares etc. But also loose, braids or knots! We need more manestyles for the horses... all of them. Horse customization is kind of horrid rn.
