INFO: The harness in the first video clip is not going to be sold in the game. But they did add the harness to the 3D-Model for the Noriker. (The new friesian model has it too, btw)
I hope whoever is doing the jump animations for all horses eventually learns that the horses have to land with both front legs on the floor, and use its back legs to get off the floor, cuz what is it with the horses just flying up in this game? The rest of the animations are cute.
Sso know that, obviously. And their horses were animated like that or more closely to real up until like a year and a half/2 years ago. Reason number 1 they take off on front legs is because the game doesn't have striding, because thay would make racing frustrating. And they land in the air because its quicker, also for racing they can't really do much about it unless they make the jump slower, which then alot of players would give out about too
@equine.rampaige4241 I've played games with horse models that land on the ground and it doesn't delay the race in anyway. I don't really see an excuse for this animation flaw.
it is a bit too tilted forward but they've animated SO many weird landings lately where the horse keeps it's head and neck at the same level the whole way round, this makes more sense lol
just wish there was some variety in the type of spots on the coats, they all look huge, too "perfect" and like a premade brush of a painting program. And i hope that in the game they have some texture of the fur, they look like plastic
@@Bowwybear8422 Exactly they all look very much alike, and even the Moorland horse which has some smaller spots ends up looking the same, the spots are all oval and evenly spaced, it just doesnt seem like a natural spotted coat
They’ve been given the ugly knabstrupper treatment. Appaloosa coats are hard, but a reference goes a long way. They follow a pattern, and sso likes to ignore this.
AM I the only one who thinks they look airbrushed and significantly less detailed that other recent breeds? Like ignoring the spots just being haphazardly placed, none of them look finished in the body/coat department. There isn't even furry/fuzzy detail like they sometimes do so we can interpret them as long-haired...they're just smooth?
No, you are not the only one. I have no complaints on the body and animations as that is probably the hardest thing. But the coats... they are dull compared to recent releases. Even the plain ones. I mean, look at Number 7, those dapples are just dots that doesn't even look finished. I won't even begin on the leopard coats.. I'm sorry, I love this breed, but I won't be getting one.
@@wendygradert686 The only one I'd consider getting right now is the blue roan (only when it goes on discount in like a year, lmao) bc they are just too WIP-esque... Like the faces and manes seem very well done and then you get to the body and it either looks pixelated as hell or just plain blurry. Hopefully they'll be updated in the 2 weeks until release or else the coats will absolutely cancel out how much I love the builds and gaits...
Yeah I'm hoping there is some texture missing or finishing touches cus they don't look nearly as detailed or finished as the other releases the past years
yeah they look kinda unfinished an haphazard?? ig i hope they're unifinished bc i'm underwhelmed... and ik a lot of people are loving the animations, but there are so many tiny mistakes?? like during one close up of the face the eye just happily mushed around?? and i don't mean the eyeball moving, i mean the entire eye cavity!
@@shyanneherlick7497 they tend to have some different coat patterns (a lot more of those 'spots fade as you go up the neck to the solid color' than the average appy but they still have skin and fur irl. You can see the spots in the irl pics that the spots follow the furring/hair of the horse, creating paths where it almost looks like someone took the smudge tool to their fur. In the SSO Norikers, like with the hideous Knabstruppers, you get no such detail. Just bland spots in random places.
I think the horse tilts waaay too far forward in the jumps-as if it's about to do a somersault, lol. But apart from the jumps, I think the animations look great!
i agree w u!! it is a bit too tilted forward but they've animated SO many weird landings lately where the horse keeps its head and neck at the same level the whole way round, this makes more sense lol

@@Ameliathehorselover2 In horse terms ‘cold blooded’ means the breed is known for being calm and easy going like most draft, unlike energetic hot bloods like thoroughbreds. Warmbloods, like the term suggests, are a cross between the two as far as energy goes.
@@LilyM.C.Almondton I kinda agree with the original comment though. For whatever reason SSO seems a little allergic to allowing the heads and necks of lighter breeds to move, lol. IMO it makes them feel pretty robotic, I wish they experimented with that more.
YES YES YES YES....animations are perfect. SSO if you see this, please for the love of all that is holy, keep this specific animation team. I think you guys use diff people because some animations in certain breeds are gawd awful. This is one of the best animations ive seen in a while. A good extended fast gallop, a beautiful trot, even the walk is stunning. The only thing I do not care for is the jump....its just bizarre. Also, I love that you brought back the bow, but when the horse stands it looks like its front leg breaks lol. I also lovvveeee the colors of the coats, but we need the depth of the Saddlebred and Mustang coats to finish it off, they look too flat right now.
@@Eleganciaaaaaa Yes I had added it to my other comment, but forgot to add it here, so I added it here as well. The jump and when standing back up from the bow the front leg looks like it breaks lol. Its not the worst jump, but its def bad.
These lil guys are so cute! Some of their animations still seem extremely choppy and unfinished, but that’s probably to be expected. I’m looking forward to this horse!
Eeeeeeeeee...... I do love the walk and they mostly seem allround, decent and calm which was what I wanted. Concerned about the gallopp though. It seems stiff in the back legs at 0:52 and seems like it kicks its back legs too far up in 1:07. The stop is beautiful and so smooth, I wish all the animations were like that. The rear is really weird, why kick the legs out like that? Ive never seen a horse do that. And the landing in the jumps are just the worst case here. I mean 2:02 what on earth is going on here?! The horse is falling almost vertically down to the ground and has no landing whatsoever. That is atrocious and REALLY hope they fix the jump atleast. Also wish the spotted coats werent so pixelated :/ Color 7 is by far the best one, and the one I will get.
The rear is actually a form of a trick a horse can be taught to do, i cant remember for the life of me on how it was called but i have seen it be done before
exactly what i was thinking! it looks horrendous. i just wish that someday they'll look at a real life version of the breed instead of making up the animations and colours 🙄
i thought with how amazing the appaloosa horses are that they would have done better with the patterns. i KNOW some horses have huge spots, but they didnt map the spots to the way the hair grows at all that i can see. especially in the hip/belly area. makes them looks super cartoony
The stop is my favourite thing ever, oml its so cute TqT I love draft horses so much & have been excited for these alrdy but this convinced me I NEED to get one in-game
i love this horse, but i’m praying that they do end up changing the jump animation by tilting the horse slightly more backwards. because that is exactly what horses look like when they’re about to have a rotational fall after a jump.
I LOVE the upcoming horse! Of course the high jump seems off, but animation in horses especially is hard regarding with programming into the game is even more difficult, so I say its a good job! Edit: Love how people always seem to complain, then do better! Make a game like sso, animate a horse like that, create the model and programming the world around it. Too much work or its too difficult?? Yeah thats what it is! Horses are one of the most difficult to work with in animation. You have to see the overall concept, all animations are really fluid and sso is not a company like rockstar who got so much money they can afford to do the animations. APPRECIATE ANIMATORS GODDAMIT! For people wondering about the big spots in the coat, you have to look more than 3 second google pictures search to find accurate Noriker horses and they do can have big roundish spots! Found one that looked near the same as the app horse coat.
I really don't like the jump because it looks like they'll faceplant (Im really picky with those lol) but otherwhise GORGEOUS Edit: Looking at the jump in a race constantly has me icking
i totally get what u mean, it is a bit too tilted forward but they've animated SO many weird landings lately where the horse keeps it's head and neck at the same level the whole way round, this makes more sense lol. like the belgian wb for example, that horse did NOT land the way it was supposed to LMAO :')
@ YES exactly!!! the horses rarely jump correctly😭😭 i’m glad they’re changing the landing a bit. although it’s a little bit overdone, it’s a really good start imo!!
These remind me a lot of sporty-type Irish cobs, which is a good thing imo! I really hope we get more cob types in future, the Irish cobs still hold up well but I don't feel like they represent most cobs you see nowadays.
I´m in love with them! They are perfect! One of the very rare horses that I love every single thing about. The gaits are fitting and look good, the coats are great and they are chunky. Love them!
Starstable really needs a transition animation when a horse lands a jump. They have a taking off animation, that’s more or less fine. It just looks like the jump animation as a whole for every horse is incomplete, when a horse goes back to its running animation before front hooves even touch the ground. A transition between landing and running would be phenomenal. It would give extra time for a horse to actually touch the ground before running, too. (Or rather fill the awkward time when a horse starts running in the air, when the animation jumps back to a gallop.) Otherwise I like a lot of the horses ss has been coming out with, including this one.
I’m honestly impressed! Apart from the rear, but I’m always expecting at least one animation to be screwed every time we get a new horse. Probs the first time in a looong time that I’m actually gonna buy a new breed as soon as it releases rather than needing a few months to get used to its horrendous-ness.
Really impressive I was definitely not a supporter from the place holder but this has changed me!! Sso have actually done a sick job of these and I may even buy one
For once all gaits are perfect! Only in the jump i noticed the front legs are far too behind in the shoulder and when landing looking from the behind they seem to fall too deep, but other than that, amazing !
I researched this breed and found such interesting coat styles that it would look better than this variant 1 (which I've seen on other horses like the Appaloosa), I hope the change or make more
The animations look really nice, but the jump and rear look so off.. both legs sticking out at once in the rear seems so unnatural and the jump looks so unbalanced I half expected it to tilt and fall on its face 😭
Wow, this is the first time in like 3 years that I can say I truly like the animations of a horse breed! They did a great job!! However the coats have shallow shading as some other new horses :/ the only thing, but I like them overall!! I like the first moorland coat the most
Just watched this video three times and read most of the comments and now I think I got a pretty good analysis! Gaits: I honestly have nothing bad to say about the gaits! They appear to have a nice floaty feel while not looking too much like a warmblood. The hind legs drag a bit like drafts and the front legs look powerful witch is a nice mixture for this horse because it is not as heavy as an Ardennes but not as light as a sporty breed. Its great for both Western and English riding so that is a plus in my book because I can never choose between the two disciplines! Jump: Now the jump animations I do have some things to say about. Again, this is a draft horse so I don't expect a very good jump because it's probably hard to find a draft as a reference that can jump as high as normal SSO horses do so it's understandable that it won't look as great as most warmbloods in game. The only thing that bothers me is the landing because, like other comments before me said, the jump animations look like they are going to tip forward. I think the landing was made because SSO might be trying to make a better landing for jump animations now that alot of people have complained (not sure if this is true, it's just an assumption). I think if they extend the front legs out more at the end it would look better because then it would balance out that "tippy" feel. Colors: I honestly like the colors. Alot of people appear to have mixed opinions but the majority of the color options are nice looking to me. The bay leopard and the second black leopard bother me because they look a little too busy but the leopard that is going to moorland is one I like. The other solid color are nice too and I may buy the bay because I'm a sucker for them! One more thing I would like to mention about the coats is that there is hardly any coat (or fur) texture. The blue roan shows more but all of the other ones look like they have been air brushed. anyways, that was my quick review! Keep in mind that this is my opinion and I would like to hear others so please share yours if you have anything different than mine! I personally think that these horses are one of the best draft horses that SSO has released so far just because I am usually so picky about animations (these appear very nice imo)! Also if there is any spelling/grammar errors I apologize, I was on a bus this entire time and there are very rough roads so it is hard to read as I type 😅
the jump is a lil bugged but i feel like they did really well with the other animations to make it look different from other breeds. i loveee the coat colours and mane styles
I’m already in love I know this isn’t like an official sneak peek or anything but it’s giving me an idea of what this breed could look like it is definitely one of my favourite real life breeds and I definitely want to get one of these when they come out, it’s gonna be a while until I can get the money that I can use to get the star coins but definitely getting one of these. Eventually that’ll be the next horse I purchase is one of these
I MUST have the white horse with the stockings and spots, what beautiful and unique face markings. I’m usually not one for the white or mostly white horses but I am blown away by that design.
Think the only complaints I really have are 1: not enough flexion/shock absorption in the fetlocks to convey the weight of the horse in the faster gaits, 2: the sliding stop needs to be a lot deeper (heavier horse needs more distance/resistance to stop from higher speeds), and 3: the jump looks too dainty for them. HOWEVER, I can admit that those are mainly my personal preferences speaking rather than things being truly messed up. *raises glass to animating team* Well done guys!
It’s basically Arden gaits lol.. also the rear needs fixing and jump also the blue roan coat also looks related to Arden horses actually I think there Arden’s with some diff moves, different body type and costs
For the badly built model, I have to say the animations are spot on. People can say what they want; but draft horses don’t have the build to naturally carry themselves. Draft horses are more “dragging” their bodies due to the purpose of what they’ve been bred to do. The Norikers really show this. Bravo to the team for these animations! 👏
@ This is just my personal opinion! I personally think that even though it’s a draft horse, the model is too squared. And the back is kind of dipped in, which looks like the horse has had something on its spine the size of a mountain. I also think the eyes are a tad bit big. It looks like a overall weirdly shaped plastic horse (also the coats I don’t like, but many don’t. It’s great if you like them 👍🏽). But of course this is the internet so I got a small feeling on how I should read your comment. I could be wrong about this so please correct me if so. I’m not trying to start a fight or discussion, I just want to make sure I got the right feeling on how to take in your comment and/or question. You make it sound like I’m unsatisfied with the entirety of this horse’s progression. Did you mean it like that, or am I making myself mad?
@ Oh I am not in love with them at all. I don’t really like the colours either, surprise surprise. I was just curious of why you thought of it as bad. I kinda like the model but I have no clue of how a sporty Noriker actually looks like so I was just interested in why it was bad in your opinion because I didn’t know. :)
I just looked up real norikers, apparently what sso made is exactly what they look like irl. So that means you just don’t like the breed. Hope this clears things up!
The animations are great, model is cute and portrays the Noriker well. All in all a solid breed, I just dont find any of the coats spectacular enough to spend sc on. Im going to wait until new coats come out, or maybe if they go on sale in a bazaar I'll pick one up. Im disapointed in the leopard spotting, I was so hopeful for some spectacular coats like the Mustang, but it just looks too big and too random, not like a real leopard spotted horse at all
Yes, I'm totally with you on that one. Model cool, animations great, but coats? Even the simple ones lack details. The look like plastic and painted by someone that doesn't know coat specific details. But SSO can do quite good leopard caots, we've seen them already. Honestly, the bay one is where I'd say, I could see myself buy it. But the others? Nah..
My biggest and probably only criticism is the jump. The rear end looks so top-heavy when in the air. Apart from that, I ADORE draft horses so I'm looking forward to these!
IMO, this is one of the most realistic horses and hairs they have made! yes some of it isn’t the most appealing (like the rear and jump) but those are realistic bc that’s how most horses do that!
I love the animations on this horse ❤ I had kinda lost hope after the selle I don’t like their animations it’s so wobbly 😅 Edit: the jumps are a bit weird at the landing but ig every sso horse has that :c

The horse is falling almost vertically down to the ground and has no landing whatsoever. That is atrocious and REALLY hope they fix the jump atleast. Also wish the spotted coats werent so pixelated :/ Color 7 is by far the best one, and the one I will get.
The rear is actually a form of a trick a horse can be taught to do, i cant remember for the life of me on how it was called but i have seen it be done before
exactly what i was thinking! it looks horrendous. i just wish that someday they'll look at a real life version of the breed instead of making up the animations and colours 🙄
I think the rear might be a version of the mezair move? A kicking rear
i thought with how amazing the appaloosa horses are that they would have done better with the patterns. i KNOW some horses have huge spots, but they didnt map the spots to the way the hair grows at all that i can see. especially in the hip/belly area. makes them looks super cartoony
Oh my the jump ... everything else is amazing! Really torn between the black and flaxen chestnut
The Animations are so gorgeus! 😍🫶🏼✨❤️
This jumps are CRAZY
Gawdamn…
Never clicked so fast 😂
I'm getting the Flaxen Dapple!! It's so cute. I also really like the black one.
The stop is my favourite thing ever, oml its so cute TqT
I love draft horses so much & have been excited for these alrdy but this convinced me I NEED to get one in-game
i love this horse, but i’m praying that they do end up changing the jump animation by tilting the horse slightly more backwards. because that is exactly what horses look like when they’re about to have a rotational fall after a jump.
Finally a horse with fantastic animation! it looks soo good and smooth!
the hair styles are probably one of the bests in all of star stable
I LOVE the upcoming horse! Of course the high jump seems off, but animation in horses especially is hard regarding with programming into the game is even more difficult, so I say its a good job!
Edit: Love how people always seem to complain, then do better! Make a game like sso, animate a horse like that, create the model and programming the world around it. Too much work or its too difficult?? Yeah thats what it is! Horses are one of the most difficult to work with in animation. You have to see the overall concept, all animations are really fluid and sso is not a company like rockstar who got so much money they can afford to do the animations. APPRECIATE ANIMATORS GODDAMIT!
For people wondering about the big spots in the coat, you have to look more than 3 second google pictures search to find accurate Noriker horses and they do can have big roundish spots! Found one that looked near the same as the app horse coat.
Yeah❤
Okay I loveeee them, the rear is just adorable
I really don't like the jump because it looks like they'll faceplant (Im really picky with those lol) but otherwhise GORGEOUS
Edit: Looking at the jump in a race constantly has me icking
i totally get what u mean, it is a bit too tilted forward but they've animated SO many weird landings lately where the horse keeps it's head and neck at the same level the whole way round, this makes more sense lol. like the belgian wb for example, that horse did NOT land the way it was supposed to LMAO :')
@@crys227 YES!! My biggest issue personally is that they dont land normally with their front legs, they just kinda teleport them to the front lol
@ YES exactly!!! the horses rarely jump correctly😭😭 i’m glad they’re changing the landing a bit. although it’s a little bit overdone, it’s a really good start imo!!
The powerful jumps the beautiful runs and the piaffe dance I am in love with this horse
that stop is insanely good omg
I love them from now on ❤
I’m actually really impressed with how their animations look! I just kind of wish there were more colors to choose from.
These remind me a lot of sporty-type Irish cobs, which is a good thing imo! I really hope we get more cob types in future, the Irish cobs still hold up well but I don't feel like they represent most cobs you see nowadays.
I've been waiting for this big babe for a long time but I did not believe they would really make them in game and they look quite good, I'm happy :3
these are giving old gen 3 in the best way possible
Nice ! Its getting really realistic
I noticed too , I believe that is what they strive for ❤
I´m in love with them! They are perfect! One of the very rare horses that I love every single thing about. The gaits are fitting and look good, the coats are great and they are chunky. Love them!
Omg I love them!!!💗
HSINWKWKSNIWNDKWN THAT STOP ANIMATION 😍
OMG I'm so glad that the animations are good. Don't like the rear but I'm totally fine with the rest. Thank you SSO!!!
Notice how sso never messes up draft horses
Starstable really needs a transition animation when a horse lands a jump.
They have a taking off animation, that’s more or less fine. It just looks like the jump animation as a whole for every horse is incomplete, when a horse goes back to its running animation before front hooves even touch the ground. A transition between landing and running would be phenomenal. It would give extra time for a horse to actually touch the ground before running, too. (Or rather fill the awkward time when a horse starts running in the air, when the animation jumps back to a gallop.)
Otherwise I like a lot of the horses ss has been coming out with, including this one.
i love how u guys added the bowing animation just like the marawari horses. love that
The stop and rear are so cute😭
Also das steigen ist ja ein absolutes no go! 😑
Ohhh mannn now I GOTTA get one!! They’re so cute!!! 🥰
I’m honestly impressed! Apart from the rear, but I’m always expecting at least one animation to be screwed every time we get a new horse. Probs the first time in a looong time that I’m actually gonna buy a new breed as soon as it releases rather than needing a few months to get used to its horrendous-ness.
I think the rear is some sort of mezair high dressage move, where the horse kicks its front legs out while rearing
the dapples on the chestnut look like scales bro
I absolutely love these horses! Definitely getting that last dappled one… omg
They just use the Selle Français gaits :,) The stop is gorgeous!
Feel like this is the most realistic stop
Really impressive I was definitely not a supporter from the place holder but this has changed me!! Sso have actually done a sick job of these and I may even buy one
For once all gaits are perfect! Only in the jump i noticed the front legs are far too behind in the shoulder and when landing looking from the behind they seem to fall too deep, but other than that, amazing !
I researched this breed and found such interesting coat styles that it would look better than this variant 1 (which I've seen on other horses like the Appaloosa), I hope the change or make more
The animations look really nice, but the jump and rear look so off.. both legs sticking out at once in the rear seems so unnatural and the jump looks so unbalanced I half expected it to tilt and fall on its face 😭
I think the rear is a dressage move.
@@LilyM.C.Almondtonis it? I've never seen that one before
Wow, this is the first time in like 3 years that I can say I truly like the animations of a horse breed! They did a great job!! However the coats have shallow shading as some other new horses :/ the only thing, but I like them overall!! I like the first moorland coat the most
My country is falling apart, and darkness is creeping in, but at least this digital horse is really cute
Yes 😂
Just watched this video three times and read most of the comments and now I think I got a pretty good analysis!
Gaits:
I honestly have nothing bad to say about the gaits! They appear to have a nice floaty feel while not looking too much like a warmblood. The hind legs drag a bit like drafts and the front legs look powerful witch is a nice mixture for this horse because it is not as heavy as an Ardennes but not as light as a sporty breed. Its great for both Western and English riding so that is a plus in my book because I can never choose between the two disciplines!
Jump:
Now the jump animations I do have some things to say about. Again, this is a draft horse so I don't expect a very good jump because it's probably hard to find a draft as a reference that can jump as high as normal SSO horses do so it's understandable that it won't look as great as most warmbloods in game. The only thing that bothers me is the landing because, like other comments before me said, the jump animations look like they are going to tip forward. I think the landing was made because SSO might be trying to make a better landing for jump animations now that alot of people have complained (not sure if this is true, it's just an assumption). I think if they extend the front legs out more at the end it would look better because then it would balance out that "tippy" feel.
Colors:
I honestly like the colors. Alot of people appear to have mixed opinions but the majority of the color options are nice looking to me. The bay leopard and the second black leopard bother me because they look a little too busy but the leopard that is going to moorland is one I like. The other solid color are nice too and I may buy the bay because I'm a sucker for them! One more thing I would like to mention about the coats is that there is hardly any coat (or fur) texture. The blue roan shows more but all of the other ones look like they have been air brushed.
anyways, that was my quick review! Keep in mind that this is my opinion and I would like to hear others so please share yours if you have anything different than mine! I personally think that these horses are one of the best draft horses that SSO has released so far just because I am usually so picky about animations (these appear very nice imo)! Also if there is any spelling/grammar errors I apologize, I was on a bus this entire time and there are very rough roads so it is hard to read as I type 😅
Sutch a cool horse needs to be on my buy list
the jump is a lil bugged but i feel like they did really well with the other animations to make it look different from other breeds. i loveee the coat colours and mane styles
I’m already in love I know this isn’t like an official sneak peek or anything but it’s giving me an idea of what this breed could look like it is definitely one of my favourite real life breeds and I definitely want to get one of these when they come out, it’s gonna be a while until I can get the money that I can use to get the star coins but definitely getting one of these. Eventually that’ll be the next horse I purchase is one of these
I MUST have the white horse with the stockings and spots, what beautiful and unique face markings. I’m usually not one for the white or mostly white horses but I am blown away by that design.
Which one?
Wait wow, their animations look so good!
Looking at them gives me a lot of joy, cant wait to ride them
I love SSO, and it’s amazing how much they do, considering how big SSO is on the Internet, and considering that they don’t have a huge team❤
Omg, I actually love the stop!!
Think the only complaints I really have are 1: not enough flexion/shock absorption in the fetlocks to convey the weight of the horse in the faster gaits, 2: the sliding stop needs to be a lot deeper (heavier horse needs more distance/resistance to stop from higher speeds), and 3: the jump looks too dainty for them. HOWEVER, I can admit that those are mainly my personal preferences speaking rather than things being truly messed up. *raises glass to animating team* Well done guys!
They kind of remind me of the Appaloosa x Ardennes but in a good way and I do why
It’s basically Arden gaits lol.. also the rear needs fixing and jump also the blue roan coat also looks related to Arden horses actually I think there Arden’s with some diff moves, different body type and costs
okay, they do not have fur texture :D
They are adorable but the jumping 😢
For the badly built model, I have to say the animations are spot on.
People can say what they want; but draft horses don’t have the build to naturally carry themselves.
Draft horses are more “dragging” their bodies due to the purpose of what they’ve been bred to do. The Norikers really show this.
Bravo to the team for these animations! 👏
what’s so bad about the model if I may ask?
@ This is just my personal opinion!
I personally think that even though it’s a draft horse, the model is too squared. And the back is kind of dipped in, which looks like the horse has had something on its spine the size of a mountain.
I also think the eyes are a tad bit big. It looks like a overall weirdly shaped plastic horse (also the coats I don’t like, but many don’t. It’s great if you like them 👍🏽).
But of course this is the internet so I got a small feeling on how I should read your comment. I could be wrong about this so please correct me if so. I’m not trying to start a fight or discussion, I just want to make sure I got the right feeling on how to take in your comment and/or question.
You make it sound like I’m unsatisfied with the entirety of this horse’s progression. Did you mean it like that, or am I making myself mad?
@ Oh I am not in love with them at all. I don’t really like the colours either, surprise surprise. I was just curious of why you thought of it as bad. I kinda like the model but I have no clue of how a sporty Noriker actually looks like so I was just interested in why it was bad in your opinion because I didn’t know. :)
I just looked up real norikers, apparently what sso made is exactly what they look like irl. So that means you just don’t like the breed. Hope this clears things up!
@@LilyM.C.Almondton well they dont look like this. The head is too big, the back is too short. Otherwise the shapes aren't too bad.
I love them already, definitely gonna be a favourite 🌸💕
The animations are great, model is cute and portrays the Noriker well. All in all a solid breed, I just dont find any of the coats spectacular enough to spend sc on. Im going to wait until new coats come out, or maybe if they go on sale in a bazaar I'll pick one up. Im disapointed in the leopard spotting, I was so hopeful for some spectacular coats like the Mustang, but it just looks too big and too random, not like a real leopard spotted horse at all
Yes, I'm totally with you on that one. Model cool, animations great, but coats? Even the simple ones lack details. The look like plastic and painted by someone that doesn't know coat specific details. But SSO can do quite good leopard caots, we've seen them already. Honestly, the bay one is where I'd say, I could see myself buy it. But the others? Nah..
@@wendygradert686 Yeah, I think I like that one best, but then I ask myself - do I need another bay horse? (Yes, yes I probably do.)
@@TrappedinSLC bay is the only way
The jump for the full speed gallop makes it look like IT WILL be FALLING ONTO THEIR FACE WHEN DONE JUMPING LOL
im not a fan of like draft horses in sso... but this one, im SO excited!! the gaits looks so smooth and nice, they did really well on this one!!
omg!! the drop tapping on the bow is actually soooooooo cute
I really hope they decide to add the harness and maybe a wagon that you can buy ❤
OMG my fav horse ❤
My biggest and probably only criticism is the jump. The rear end looks so top-heavy when in the air. Apart from that, I ADORE draft horses so I'm looking forward to these!
Am I the only one seeing the Selle animations? Especially in the canter and gallop
IMO, this is one of the most realistic horses and hairs they have made! yes some of it isn’t the most appealing (like the rear and jump) but those are realistic bc that’s how most horses do that!
Nothing overly fancy or specific. Just a *normal* cute horse, with a very nice and demure special animation. Love it, buying them all LOL
Got the notification and clicked as fast as I could.
One of my favourite breeds and they made the gaits actually look great 😍
I love the animations on this horse ❤ I had kinda lost hope after the selle I don’t like their animations it’s so wobbly 😅
Edit: the jumps are a bit weird at the landing but ig every sso horse has that :c
I love the speciel move it's so cute❤
