a review of the Hanoverian horse by a Hanoverian owner irl:
This is the closest coat to my irl horse and the one I'm going to buy so it is going to be our reference. The first thing I notice is that the proportions and confirmation are correct, the wedge shaped head, thicker, more arched, cresty neck than most Warmblood horses (seriously she has a sizeable wobbly crest and she is a mare lol) , the almost knobby knees and very straight legs, medium back and round elegant hindquarters. The facial expression is also correct, they are unusually calm, cooperative, dopey, and brave horses. Fancy is the most reliable and trustworthy horse I have ever met. The first thing I noticed about my own horse before I bought her was her exceptionally kind eye, actually. The shoulder is also perfect.

Here is my irl horse, Fancy. She is a registered Hanoverian, pictured here doing her favorite hobby, nature watching. Note the similarities between the in game model and her confirmation, especially the traits mentioned above. I promise you her coat is as dark as the in game model she just was grey in this picture cause we hadn't gotten her on the right supplements yet. She is much darker now, back to the color she was when young. Speaking of the color...

Here is her natural color, and I think the SSO team did a great job mimicking the way a seal bay's orange mixes with the deep brown. In fact they managed to copy her coat color almost exactly to the model in-game, although she has far less chrome. This photo also gives a good view of her neck and head, which you can compare with the in game model. Now, moving on to the animations. While I haven't seen them yet, I really hope they do my favorite breed (and my heart horse's breed) justice. Here is a brief video that has all three of Fancy's gaits. She does have a misunderstanding in the middle because she thinks I asked for counter canter but... overall it's a good example. Fancy has a very powerful way of moving, and lots of suspension, so much in fact she is not smooth to ride at all, but rather like a pogo stick. If they make the horse look heavy in game or move too quickly, it will lose the measured, graceful, floaty look that the breed is known for. Personality wise, I'd like it to be a little goofy, because Fancy herself, while very dignified most of the time, is very ADHD and loves to sniff random objects and lick things. She's friendly and sweet, so much so people cannot believe she is a mare (which is super annoying and sexist but there we go). I'd like to see a tongue blep in the idle animations most of all honestly cause she bleps her tongue out when she is wearing a bit lmao.
Lastly, I am very angry they decided to make the Hanoverian a showjumping breed. Fancy is definitely not cut out for showjumping. She is not fast or light enough, and is much better suited conformation wise to dressage. Hanoverians are way more common in dressage than in showjumping for this reason; they just aren't fast enough, and they are heavier horses than almost all showjumping breeds. She loves to gallop, but it's mostly her big stride, not her speed that gets us places. I am tired of the extreme bias in this game towards showjumping, and the fact that if the SSO team releases ANYTHING related to dressage (like the Dutch WB) there immediately becomes a huge public outcry about "abuse" and "robotic movements". Trust me, dressage is the farthest thing from abuse if done right. Fancy loves her job and loves me and I promised her I wouldn't let anyone harm her little pony head. It's heartbreaking to see the discipline we both love get ignored time and time again because of the inherent and incorrect bias and assumption that dressage, especially upper level = abuse. My dream in this game is a double bridle, but I can't see that happening because of this bias. Curb bits on their own in western riding is totally fine apparently, but paired with a loose ring snaffle??? Abuse!!! I don't see people freaking out over any other discipline as much as mine. It hits especially hard considering I actually rescued Fancy from abusive "dressage" training. And this has gone on to the point that a primarily dressage breed like the Hanoverian Horse just *HAS* to be a showjumper. Fancy cannot even walk over ground poles without tripping lmao.
What I want you to take away from this: Hanoverians are personality wise cool and calm, and a bit dopey, gait wise they are floaty and strong looking, and confirmation wise they are elegant and heavier than most other warmblood breeds. Overall I think Star Stable did a very good job, I am just waiting to see the animations. I can't wait to welcome the in game version of my beloved horse into my stable tomorrow!!

⭐️ Star Stable Online, September–November 2015
And here are photos from my first-ever Tumblr meetup that I hosted on September 19, 2015, from Feya Seastorm’s perspective!
I would not have these photos anymore if it wasn’t for @theseadontbotherme reblogging them from my now-deleted blog @sso-sasha-swifthurricane. Thank you, Sea.
#could you tell i was absolutely obsessed with the all-black outfit?#i want to recreate some of these#maybe soon#there are many other relics from sea’s blog#but i wanted to show a wide variety of areas for this post#did you know: taking photos when your horse was at the start of a jump was a very difficult task?#there was no photo mode so you had to:#control your camera view with your mouse#press the spacebar#AND hit print screen all at the same time!#sso#star stable#star stable online#ssoblr#sso tumblr#star stable tumblr#star stable online tumblr#sso nostalgia#star stable nostalgia#star stable online nostalgia#sasha-swifthurricane

Me: Well riddle me this then, why did you launch me into the air if you didn't want me to fucking fly?

So I recently unsubscribed from Star Rider on my Ingrid Rockburn account, and started up a new one as Yvonne "Fawn" Wintergren (trans FTM), with his trusty Appaloosa, Galaxy. I've written a TON of lore for him, but I'll elaborate on that later. For now, here are his current tack-clothing outfit combos! Enjoy :)

Outfit #1 - Navy Western

Outfit #2 - Bandana'd Western

Outfit #3 - Pale Blue Eventing (English)

Outfit #4 - Yellow Jumping (English)

Outfit #5 - Schooling Navy (English)

Outfit #6 - Bobcats Basic (English)
There will be more scrots (screenshots) of the boys! Stay tuned

there should be a cross country course here I think. or in the field between here and marley's. we need more cross country courses in this game I'm tired of using the same three whenever I want to play cross country
#star stable#sso#like it's just golden vale lake and firgrove I can't think of any other good xc courses#OH AND GREENDALE#wait does the greendale one have jumps by default I don't think so#ANYWAY MY POINT STANDS

What kind of NPC would your sso oc be if they weren’t the main character? Would they give dailies? Races? Would they sit in Leonardo’s looking cool, never saying anything but slaying anyway? Would they become part of the main cast?
#sso#ssoblr#rose would be a nameless NPC standing at the DC oilrig#Rebeca and Sienna would be out walking in jorvik city#Dorian gives you a circus race that’s just dangerous amounts of jumping from platform to platform.
