New English Thoroughbred Horses

Star Stable just released three new horses in an all new model: the English Thoroughbred. Yes, there are already Thoroughbreds in the game, but these are definitely better! There are three colors so far, and each one costs 890 star coins. Chestnut: Gray (fleabitten?): Black: The black one is at Fort Pinta and the chestnut and gray are both available at Crescent Moon Village. I can't decide which one I want! I'm a little bit disappointed in the gray option.  It's cool that they finally have an option that has that fleabitten look, but I don't really like it.  The black and chestnut are both really nice, though.  The chestnut is almost orange in some spots, it's so bright! It will be a few weeks before I have enough star coins saved up to be able to buy any of them, and maybe there will be even more choices when that time comes. Which one do you love the most?

New Icelandic Horses and More

I had been waiting for yesterday for a long time.  I knew they were going to release additional colors of the Icelandic horse, I just didn't know which ones!  I wanted to wait until they had released them before purchasing one, because I didn't want to regret my decision. Here are the new colors: I didn't know what color to call the top one, but it was my favorite of the three.  I think it's a light copper color.  The other two colors are white and pinto. Now that they've been released, I knew it was time to pick my own! Introducing... Sparkfly! I love the Icelandic horses, especially mine.  I was playing around with names, trying to find one I liked for him, and I stumbled upon Sparkfly.  (Like "sparks fly when"...)  I had intended to go with something with 'copper' in the name, but decided I liked the way this sounds and looks much more. I hope you all are having a great week. Thanks for reading a...

Epona is Coming!

Recently Star Stable announced the addition of a new zone, Epona. Here are screenshots of their news post about it. It looks super cute and I'm very excited for some real content updates (long awaited, I might add). I rode to The Harvest Counties and went to the boundaries of where Epona will be. From these photos you can just barely see what lies beyond the fence. I can't wait for more quests to do!  (Finally!) What about Epona makes you excited?

Halloween Again!

Today's update brought us the holiday event for Halloween, including a new quest chain and the return of the gift-bearing ghosts. The quest chain begins and ends at the Smuggler's Den near Cape West Fishing Village. Today is also the day I decided to buy another new horse, the silver Morgan. I named her Silverpearl. This is me wearing my quest reward from the new quest while riding Silverpearl.  (I also got my hair restyled so now it's long and black.) I went to the mall to try to decide what kind of gear to get to best highlight Silverpearl's coloring, as my current gear was tailored for Starbeam, and found many more things to spend star coins on.  Unfortunately it will be many weeks before I'm done with a new gear set for Silverpearl, but I think I've decided on the gray and turquoise pieces.  I'm not sure which new clothes to get myself, but I really like the new Antique Indian Dress I got as a quest reward from the Halloween q...

Possibly the Worst Quest Ever...?

I just finished the snake quest with Freja at Sunfield Farm.  (I know, I'm a bit behind.) First, as a heads up, I will be discussing the quest line and its contents, so it may be a spoiler to those who have not yet completed it. You've been forewarned... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought the premise of the quest was kinda cute, but on the second day I found the quest content annoying and maddening.  I realize they had to play this little story through, but seriously, it was so obvious that Freja had been bitten by a poisonous snake (it's called a Cliff COBRA) and that we, as the "responsible" person, should have realized immediately that she needed medical attention. Then, the kicker was when she had us race back to the farm - without her!  We already knew she had been bitten by a snake and wasn't feeling well, so why would we have let her run off on her own? When you make it back to the farm, you talk to her mot...

New Morgans and More

Today I logged in for the first time in what feels like forever (but must not have been that long, because I only gained 400 SC in my absence).  I had checked the News  page and wanted to see the new Morgans.  I was not disappointed.  They're gorgeous! Here are some screenshots. While they are similar in appearance to the AQHs, they do not have the same animations for their movements. I absolutely love the one that almost looks like an Akhal-Teke, with very fair palomino-esque coloring.  I think I'm going to buy one and name her something with a Star in it. Also, make sure you check out the new quests from Tim, but look out for that race, as it sure is tricky! Thanks for reading and Happy Trails! ~*Veronika Starstorm*~
