I would love to see mules or donkeys too! Love the huge ears! Also I'm always a fan of a good thoroughbred and more drafts!

2 lights and a medium would be cool.

Arab, Morgan, and Lusitanio?

We have sat down and gone over people's suggestions.

Right now our plan is:

Light: Traditional Arabian
Medium: Stock type QH and a Lusitaino/Andalusian (a true wb would be better but I want a Spanish breed lol!)


If Jenx has time he will try to also get out a Fjord before the end of the year.
We also have a Halloween BC in the works.

Morgans will be getting pushed to the next round as there is not enough interest in them compared to Arabians. :)

So if we were to go with the theme of the game, I'd have to suggest practical breeds for medium and heavy horses. (The heavies we have don't really fit the theme, if that's the argument against QH/Stock Horses). Thinking of body types we don't already have in game:

Light - Akhal Teke (see above)
Medium - Thoroughbred
Heavy - Irish Draught

I like Trakehner horses too.

At some point I’d love to see miniature horses as a BC for the collectible size (if that’s possible)

These are 2 of mine that have semi-decent pictures. I’m not a huge fan of the ones that look like tiny Arabs with overly dished faces that they oil up for shows

The first one is a chestnut mare bred by Little Wonder Horse Farm in Topping, VA. She threw a chocolate palomino with two blue eyes years ago but I don’t have a good picture of him.

Both are double registered with AMHA and AMHR

@Ammit Yeah I had wondered how much extra work that would take since you have the art linked to bone weight values

I would do ANYTHING for a Lusitano!
Akhal-Teke would be fun too, maybe a fjord for heavy breeds?

I'm a sucker for heavy breeds! I this the build of Vanner horses are beautiful and with the heavy feathering :x :

One Stud I find particularly eye catching is Dakota Spirit Ori at May Day Acres in Colorado. They have a wonderful gallery of him and their other studs:

I don’t have any pictures, but throwing in my hopes for a Morgan, Andalusian, and Gypsy Vanner!

A Shire could be a nice breed for the next heavy since it's opposite in so many ways from the SP. Lots of feathers and showy while the Suffolk is more utilitarian.

Here's some of my favorite Shire images:

This one could be really good for reference.










Not the best conformation shot, but wowie that coat!

I also agree that Akhal Teke could be a fun BC, though it might be tricky to capture the curved ears in profile. Isn't that a medium breed though, not a light? Andalusian or Lipizzaner would also be beautiful for another medium bone.

@bluchrystals @fiddler I guess I'm in the minority there then. That Scapa picture is actually my favorite Arabian head profile photo ever. I love the eye and the flare of the nostril and the line of the forehead into the nose and the perk of the ears. I do like a nicely dished face and I think it would be nice for the next light breed since the Saddlebred has a really long straight nose. When I look side by side, I actually think Scapa looks like the same shape as the "ideal" in the middle of that drawing. The "camel-nose" is what I definitely don't like, I consider that extreme.

@Cherobird Donkeys and mules would be so fun! I've actually been thinking, whenever I see my Friesian BC foals with appy blankets they look like spotted mules to me, but not otherwise. No idea why. :P

True warmblood type gets my vote for one of the medium bone options

Cavalynn of the horses you posted the last one is a Vanner, not a shire. The large gray appears to be a Percheron.

I would absolutely go nuts for a classic, dishy Arabian. I know they've gotten super extreme in halter classes these days, but some like the older school Arabs like Khemosabi or the ones Cavalynn posted would be up my alley for the game and is definitely at the top of my wishlist.

I also would love a foundation style quarter horse at some point

@Cavalynn All the shire you showed beautiful, the last horse you posted I actually saw that horse in person and I think it is a Gypsy Vanner and the coat is amazing in person, photos don't do it justice, I think it was a stallion but I didn't remember.
