For real!! Thats kinda understandable because it might be hard to code an animation to interact properly with the ground... But why they hardly ever move the neck forwards? What horse jumps that high without stretching the neck?? Small jumps yes, but the jumps in SSO are huge😩 (I don't know how to explain it, but I hope you get what I mean)
I like the colors and stuff but some of the gaits are a little... Eh but the horse is pretty but the hair styles with the tails touching the floor .. the tain just looks like a snake but otherwise I'm still kinda excited.
In all fairness, the Icelandics are the same way in-game, but it could've been executed better nonetheless. The Saddlebred's slow gallop is just... it doesn't feel fast enough to constitute as a replacement for the slow gallop. The back legs don't even move as fast as the front legs which bothers me to no end but, alas. I doubt they'll change it any time soon, they rarely do.
@@monii7461 the jump landing to me looks like the back hooves are slamming down onto the ground and resuming the gait instead of taking the time to return to the gait normally
The slow gallop looks like the horse's movement doesn't match with the actual speed they're at, like their legs move slower than the background does and there's no weight on them. The jumping is terrible but at this point im convinced they simply don't want to animate horses jumping correctly for whatever reason. Overall they seem fine, I'll wait until release to decide if they're worthy or not. EDIT: THEY'RE AWESOME even with the minor inconveniences mentioned before.

I’m gonna wait til they go on sale if anything, they’re better than the SF imo but they’re both so stiff, it’s a shame since the dwb is super well made and smooth
If you’re talking about the gait titled slow gallop. It’s a rack. Saddlebreds are five gaited irl (they walk, trot, canter, slow gait, and rack). I don’t know why it’s titled the slow gallop because it’s not a gallop at all. If you’re talking about the actual gallop. It’s probably because it might be done in slow motion in the video. I’ve watched many of these videos and all the gaits for every breed there’s a video on are done in slow motion and regular speed.

I feel like a lot of time SSO focuses so much on making the gaits unique that they don't end up looking very good. I think that happened with this horse because the gaits look very unique but they're not Star Stable's best work in my opinion. I don't hate them or anything (the long tail is super cool, after all) I just think SSO has done better with animations.
I agree with this 100%. I think a lot of it, though, is because of how many people complain about "copy and paste" animations and horses that look too similar. It was a huge point of contention in a lot of breeds.
^^ people need to get over reused gaits because when they try to make every gait unique…you get horses with weird gaits lol (speaking in general, not specifically the saddlebreds)
can't lie this is actually how their legs tend to look doing show gaits. more engagement would look healthier but in shows this is entirely what the gaits look like
I hear you. They actually should have more hock action. But SSO is doing its darnedest to make sure it separates itself from anything that might look like saddle seat riding. This horse is geared toward a customer who wants to create a western riding look. It’s like they are giving lip service to everyone who thinks ASB are big lick horses, and all people who ride saddle seat are abusive. 🙄

Come on, SSO, their necks are just a bit longer, and they're bigger than your average size horse. Even their natural gaits are fancier than what's shown here. I'm disappointed that they didn't use the iconic stretch park on the idle, and made them into something twitchy and fiery (from my experience, they're super chill horses)
I am absolutely blown away. As someone who grew up sharing the arena with many saddlebreds (never ridden one myself), these gaits are possibly some of the best I’ve seen SSO do. Yes, they look stiff… but saddlebreds look stiff. My only complaint is they are lacking the excessive eye whites whenever the horse looks around. Even the young, never been abused (or even saddled yet) ones I’ve known have very prominent eye whites. Not necessarily all the time, but whenever they start looking at something(deciding if they should spook) or are running around, you can see the whites of their eyes.
@@arvella Alot of the saddlebred I know have white Sclera instead of the traditional brown coloring of it. It makes them look like their scared but in reality its just a simple discoloration of the eye
OK, I love love LOVE the Flaxen Chestnut and the Pinto 💛💛💛💚💚💚💙💙💙💜💜💜 Thanks for sharing! Also, am I the only one or does somone else think C.C. has the highest Quality Spoilers? ❣
Yes cc creations does the best spoiler Infact I felt disappointed because I watched a spoiler on Instagram just before cc put this out! And I was very disappointed and upset mainly because of their infamous long tails and cut back mane ! And low and behold I watch cc and they have the style and now I will be buying the grey the silver buckskin and none of the pintos and I don’t think I will ever ride any of the other breeds again I love it that much now I have seen the full proper design!!! Definitely gonna keep my mouth shut in future and wait until cc uploads her ones lol
Everytime sso comes out with a horse that doesn’t look exactly like a warmblood people complain. I like them, finally they’re adding more variation and character to different horse breeds.
no literally!!! and american saddlebreds are a warmblood that truly look unique to other wbs irl and this one youtuber kept comparing them to the dutch wb model like stop 😭😭 and their fav breed is a sf which looks even more similar to the dwb… it feels so biased
I typically criticize SSO, but in this case I have to agree. This horse is one of the best well done horses in a while. Is it a little stiff? Yes, but its pretty spot on for the breed. The problem is the m, majority of the people playing this game are either kids or people that dont own horses or know much about the breeds. I have seen people praise certain animation that look downright terrible and then crap all over animations that are (although not perfect) pretty good for the breed (like in this case).
Hard disagree. It's not that they don't look like warmblood, it's that they don't do the actual ASB justice...the coats are wayyy too flashy (there isn't even a boring chestnut???), the gaits are stiff and unengaged, and the model itself basically just looks like a Marwari...none of those complaints have anything to do with the warmblood and everything to do with being a meh-ASB.
im not a horse person irl, but i definitely enjoy the breeds that have more distinctive silhouettes in game (that's why i tend to favor work horses, because they have such a distinct silhouette with the bigger hooves)
The palomino coat is absolutely STUNNING! Will absolutely make its way into my stable! The one thing I dont love is how the rear goes back really far and is kinda goofy
So stiff omg (guys I didn’t mean to start a war, the stiffness I was talking about was mostly the jump, also I’m not gonna lie when I say that I know next to nothing about saddlebreds, I do jumping irl and I don’t know anything abt saddlebreds but to me the gaits kind of look off and just weird, hopefully sso will fix it but I doubt it.)
The best horse since the gen 3 mustang!i never thought sso would impress me against after seeing horses from this year but these saddlebreds have impressed me.WELL DONE SSO!👏🥳
I really like them, and I think their special gait was done correctly and is fluid. They look a little small imo (irl they are a bit higher at the wither, although like with most carriage horses they have high necks making up a lot of height).
to those who are like woah wtf this horse looks so weird, as an ex saddleseat rider who still works with and loves saddlebreds, they just fuckin look like this man. they are weird mfers. hell this model isn't even close to the crazy bred ones you'll see at some shows with nutso necks. people are wondering why the horse looks more cartoony/stylized and that's literally not due to style, that's How They Are irl. they have been bred for ages to be incredibly showy and peacocky. it'd be like wondering why those overbred dogs at dog shows look cartoony when drawn; no babe, they're just scrungly like that irl!! they're walking spinal disorders with amazing personalities
I’ve never ridden nor met a saddlebred [though I adore them] so take what I say with a grain of salt. I’m fairly certain that their gaits appear stiff irl because of how collected they are just from videos I’ve seen. However, their jump is a bit awkward to me. For coats, I think they’re gorgeous. There wasn’t really one I disliked. The dapple grey and the bay are very pretty and I’ll probably be buying one. :]
So the Saddlebreds irl are just slidding when they'r slow galloping ?? and their legs rn't directly touching the floor when extending their legs ? like naahhh
@@3O01It’s a special gaited horse it’s supposed to look like it’s gliding do you not know a single thing about the horse 💀 and it literally is touching the horse it’s just brief because AGAIN it’s a special gaited horse that’s the au it’s supposed to be
The canter and gallops def need another frame as the leading forelegs sort of pause before continuing the animation. Sad they didn't make a plain chestnut. That's like THE color you think when you think Saddlebred. Like a buckskin for mustang or white for Arabian. And I thought I might get the bay but they once again made some random stripe line that makes the face look crooked.
Albinism doesn’t occur in horses, so I assume ur talking about greys. It’s fine, not all American saddlebreds are chestnut. It’s just a coat you see often. I agree with the gallop and canter, they definitely need more work.
Whew that's a relief it looks really good! They got the gaits spot on and humane lookin. 🎉 They look full of attitude 😂 The movement is very fluid hats off to whoever designed this model honestly.😂
@@nitrevl0463look, people have their own opinions. They’re not lying, they are giving their opinion. Just like it is your opinion that they aren’t good. Doesn’t mean your opinion is any less valid then theirs or vice versa.
Honestly the gaits look pretty breed-accurate from what I've seen on Saddlebreds. The rack jump landing is horrendous though. I'll still probably buy one but I'm gonna wait until they hopefully release a chestnut later on
I think those are really well made for that sort of breed. They actually put research behind it and i think it turned out very nice, especially the long tail and such. Yeah they're not going to please everyone but that how it is irl too - not everyone likes breed XY. I think, even tho im not a huge saddlebred fan, this is the best horse they've made for a long time quality vise.
Its crazy to me how people are saying they dont like the gaits on this horse but they liked the selle francais gaits? 😭I really wanted a selle francais but the gaits were so crusty and i actually quite like the gaits on the american saddlebred edit: i mean the idle animations and jumps on this horse are kinda whack but my point stands!
@@mimicri326 absolutely yeah i really like looking at the selle francais and their coats but yeah the gaits kinda give gen 2 and im really picky and only buy the best horses that are released LMAO
This is the problem when kids or even adults have opinions on something they know nothing about. Most of the people who are so vocal about gaits dont own a horse and have never even ridden one in real life. They will praise breeds with horrific animations and then crap all over properly done ones, it drives me nuts lol.
am i the only one who just genuinely loves the saddlebred, they’re one of my fav breeds irl and even tho the gaits are wonky i love the model unlike a lot of ppl 😭
You’re not the only one. I ride saddlebreds irl so they are my favorite breed. I can never get on a horse of another breed without feeling weird cause I’m so used to riding the saddlebred.
@@evelyngrayridersso5722 that’s great !!! :) i’m not an equestrian so idk how riding them feels but they’re beautiful imo and their gait in saddleseat is beautiful (wish there wasn’t sm abuse behind the discipline tho)
@@lucabun Sorry for the long paragraph. You are so right. Saddle seat is a beautiful riding discipline and it’s wonderful for those who can’t do patterns (like me). As a low level saddle seat rider that only rides in lessons and shows in winter tournaments 5 times a year and has been riding for almost 11 years, I will assure you that there is not at much abuse in the discipline as people make it to be. It’s looks different with breeds that don’t look like a quarter horse, thoroughbred, or warmblood and it’s not a worldwide sport (it’s only in the United States and South America) so so many people just assume the entire sport is abusive. Some people also mix it up with the big lick which uses a different breed of horse and was created several decades after saddle decades was created. There’s a small percentage of the saddle seat community that choose to abuse their horses and they’re not allowed to show. Yes there are some things I’ve seen done or used that I don’t agree with but it’s not that many things as people say it is. Saddle seat was made to show off the natural movements of the horses used in the sport. It’s just that the people started using abusive methods which two of those things have been banned. I have heard somewhere (I don’t remember where) that the newer generation is trying to better the sport and get rid of abusive or unnatural methods but don’t take me up on that because I don’t know if it’s for sure or not.
Oh they look so cool and gorgeous!! Amazing job on the American Saddlebred! Oh it's so apparent now how outdated the starter looks compared to the other horses. If we are going to get gen 4 horses (as in them being compatible for breeding and customazation) then it would be great if they started with the starter horse and give it an updated more generation 3 look. Right now it looks more generation 2.
The model is realy beautiful but the head just feel a little bit too big, but I wanted a fullt black or a fully liver chestnut whitout to much markings, but other wise do I like them. And I hate that they just stop to jump in the air:( Sso realy need to fix that on all horses, and I dont understand that even new horses, have t his isue
I’ve been to Saddlebred shows before and have seen them close up in person, trust me when I say they really do look like this! Yes they are shaped wonky and odd but that is what makes them a very unique and instantly recognizable breed. negative opinions are fine, but please keep in mind what the real life horses look and move like. I recommend watching some western pleasure saddlebred shows for reference 😊
What gets me is that SSO completely refuses to give this horse breed their natural gaits all because of the big lick shit, which there is a difference. (Before you come hating, Icelandic and Paso Finos are two examples of gaited horse breeds) Its the same thing for the Tennessee Walkers. But, when it comes to the dutch warmblood, it has the very obvious, toe flick in the extended gait. That is NOT natural and its not exactly extended. It is an abusive behavior.
Everytime there's a spoiler I think 'oh neat' and everytime the comments are filled with people having insane hyper realistic expectation of this highly stylized game. Yes the gaits area bit stiff but I don't think they're that bad. I hope they tweak the the special gaits because they look a bit... off. I don't mind the jumps or the trot tho, when you're racing you're not even going to be paying that much attention to them anyway and nothing looked TOO out of place (them poor connie ponies man)
@@agentkenobii But we know that SSO can do fluid, realistic, and honest interpretations of horses, though? Even stylized, breeds like the Dutch Warmblood, Paint, and Appy are PHENOMENAL bc they're fluid, look athletic, and don't look like they're made to insult toddlers. Some of the other SSO breeds? Either feel 90% recycled, look like they're in pain when they move, or have lackluster coats that a toddler on MS Paint could've done better...it's the inconsistency that's the issue.
@@redfyresasoiaf The coats are fine. If you think you can do it better then do it yourself. No seriously I am a digital artist who does research into game dev stuff all the time for fun. This stuff ain't easy especially when dealing with higher ups. A LOT of you if not most players critique the creative team when their work is bound by executive decisions 99.9% of the time so you're not criticizing the right people and you're not going for the source! The artists just have to push a product out the door and have bills to pay, please think about that next time. Its been a known fact that management at Starstable has been ass for lack of better words so I'm not shocked that things look rough around the edges. Also just because artists can make something realistic doesn't mean they always should. Stylistic choice isn't always insulting to the real thing. Is My Little Pony an 'insult made by toddlers' to you too? Because the whole point of stylistic choice is to use reality only as a base, not strict rule. Like I said I'm an artist, I can draw realistic animals but do I? nope! Because I needed to learn how they worked first BEFORE I could apply my own style. Unfortunately whether it looks good or not depends on who looks at it. Just because you don't vibe with it doesn't make the art bad. I'm so sick of SSO players not understanding these things so yall can either read this and go down a Google rabbit hole yourselves so maybe you'll learn something but I ain't wasting my time on folks who believe every horse game under the sun as to be super hyper realistic. Most of you wouldn't even be able to play them if they were trust me.
@@UmbraBorealis I just don't see why a boring chestnut wasn't the first saddlebred they thought of considering that's like THE color of the breed. I'd wager like 70% of ASBs are chestnuts (I've worked with saddlebred trainers for 5+ years before my current gig) and not including even ONE chestnut is ridiculous. The arabians have three, yes THREE, grays but the ASBs doesn't even get a chestnut? That's like a dog game making a corgi and not making a single orange and white variant. It's bonkers at best, lmao. I'm not at all under selling the amount of work that went into the coats they did make, I'm complaining that apparently no one thought a chestnut would be a good idea for the ASB even though, let's be honest, if someone knows an ASB irl it's a chestnut...
Whatever team animated the Lippizaner also animated this horse….it’s painfully obvious. Idk…I always wait till it’s in game to make final judgement (though if it really comes out next week, it’s not getting changed) but as of right now I’m not compelled to buy. Nothing about this horse screams Saddlebred to me. Take the long tail away and you’d never in a million years guess that that’s what this was. Contrast this with the IRL Saddlebred, which is arguably one of the most easily recognizable breeds in terms of both build and movement. Not that my opinion means much, but this feels like very shoddy work. I’d love to have my mind changed on release.
Ooof looks like they took the Marwari and just remodeled the head a bit. Not bad, but not as good as I was hoping. The pacing gait in particular looks off, especially considering how nice and smooth the Iclandic's gait is. Was hoping it would be better tbh.
They literally look identical to saddlebreds in real life. I owned one for 20 years.....most of the people saying this have never actually been near a Saddlebred.
Omg I'm so happy, I've been dying to have saddlebreds for years! That long tail is EVERYTHING. The Rack did crack me up a bit, it's definitely goofy but the slow gate looks so good. I'm so getting one when they come out
It looks pretty good! I love the canter! The ground matches the animation and it feels like the horse is actually putting effort into it. Though the fast gaited gait looks really off and so do the jumps
They look nice!❤ Tho, I feel like something's off even if I can't tell exactly what, maybe its the thin-neck-big-head combo as anothet comment mentioned, but the horses are like that even irl so it can't be a fault. Also I hope the idle animations have some still moments because I don't wanna see them moving all the time when ur standing still🧐 I love how flowy the tail animation is, seen from behind! Speaking of tails, with that long ahh tail they would've made great base models for Dragon horses like they did with the friesians, but better tbh
It’s so pretty I’m gonna diiiiieee!!! Seriously I need all of them! So glad I stocked up on star coins! Edit: The long tail appreciation was appreciated
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH!… i really like them but is it just me or does the tail remind me of the morgans tail? Not really a fan of the tail on the ground but its a really nice addition to have that option on this horse

the slow gallop is called rack, why would it be a special gait when saddlebreds are gaited horses?
The slow gallop looks like the horse's movement doesn't match with the actual speed they're at, like their legs move slower than the background does and there's no weight on them.

@@_director_x_fc yeah they surprisingly have been releasing horses at a lot slower rate this year which is nice cause I actually have time to save up for all the horses I want buy but by the time a horse I actually want comes out I’m gonna be rich lol I really don’t like these horses
Why does it look like it’s literally throwing itself up when it jumps 😭
theyre so lazy with the jumping animations the past like 5 years, been getting worse the past 2-3
@@imdone8645 i know
the horse always looks like it is floating up
Maybe it’s just me, but they are like 98% Marwari!
noooo they are not
The Marwaris they did looked like hackney ponies. I said it then, and I confirm it now.
Marwari is the worst made breed they have doing.
Come on, SSO, their necks are just a bit longer, and they're bigger than your average size horse. Even their natural gaits are fancier than what's shown here. I'm disappointed that they didn't use the iconic stretch park on the idle, and made them into something twitchy and fiery (from my experience, they're super chill horses)
Yeah the fidgety idle seems a really strange choice as they're known to be very calm and good as kids ponies
SSO always tries to tread the line between foundation examples of a breed and the showier modern type. I think it's pretty spot on.
Then you’re not dealing with a ASB with a natural headset my dude. If you think they need to have their heads HIGHER then you’re not
@@Rose_nouveauliterally i was expecting more of a park saddlebred i feel like they are trying to make it a warmblood
@@agentkenobii I said LONGER neck, not HIGHER my dude.
omg the landings are getting more and more bad but OMGGG the petting animations when the horse actually reacts to it awwwww
I cant wait for a magic version of this breed!! They could have a pegasus like coat it would look good with the long tail especially :D
Or maybe a river spirit with the long tail?
@@skybluepainter AAHH!! I love that idea too!!:D
@@skybluepainterguys, hear me out- Halloween event and they use the Saddlebred model to make a kelpie ;)
Or what about a Christmas theme Pegasus? In my mind that would be so magical.
I am absolutely blown away. As someone who grew up sharing the arena with many saddlebreds (never ridden one myself), these gaits are possibly some of the best I’ve seen SSO do. Yes, they look stiff… but saddlebreds look stiff. My only complaint is they are lacking the excessive eye whites whenever the horse looks around. Even the young, never been abused (or even saddled yet) ones I’ve known have very prominent eye whites. Not necessarily all the time, but whenever they start looking at something(deciding if they should spook) or are running around, you can see the whites of their eyes.
I don’t want my horses in sso showing fear when I’m riding them. tf you mean you want to see the eye whites that’s not a good thing
@@arvella If you wanna re read this they said even they young and unsaddled horses have prominent eye whites. Doesn't mean they're always scared
@@arvellamany horses have prominent sclera and has nothing to do with fear.
Then you never saw a horse move in sso, if you think this is "the best", its not about opinion, its about quality
@@arvella Alot of the saddlebred I know have white Sclera instead of the traditional brown coloring of it. It makes them look like their scared but in reality its just a simple discoloration of the eye
OK, I love love LOVE the Flaxen Chestnut and the Pinto 💛💛💛💚💚💚💙💙💙💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing!
Also, am I the only one or does somone else think C.C. has the highest Quality Spoilers? ❣
Yes CC is the absolute best
Yes cc creations does the best spoiler Infact I felt disappointed because I watched a spoiler on Instagram just before cc put this out! And I was very disappointed and upset mainly because of their infamous long tails and cut back mane ! And low and behold I watch cc and they have the style and now I will be buying the grey the silver buckskin and none of the pintos and I don’t think I will ever ride any of the other breeds again I love it that much now I have seen the full proper design!!! Definitely gonna keep my mouth shut in future and wait until cc uploads her ones lol
Everytime sso comes out with a horse that doesn’t look exactly like a warmblood people complain. I like them, finally they’re adding more variation and character to different horse breeds.
no literally!!! and american saddlebreds are a warmblood that truly look unique to other wbs irl and this one youtuber kept comparing them to the dutch wb model like stop 😭😭 and their fav breed is a sf which looks even more similar to the dwb… it feels so biased
Yesss
I typically criticize SSO, but in this case I have to agree. This horse is one of the best well done horses in a while. Is it a little stiff? Yes, but its pretty spot on for the breed. The problem is the m, majority of the people playing this game are either kids or people that dont own horses or know much about the breeds. I have seen people praise certain animation that look downright terrible and then crap all over animations that are (although not perfect) pretty good for the breed (like in this case).
Hard disagree. It's not that they don't look like warmblood, it's that they don't do the actual ASB justice...the coats are wayyy too flashy (there isn't even a boring chestnut???), the gaits are stiff and unengaged, and the model itself basically just looks like a Marwari...none of those complaints have anything to do with the warmblood and everything to do with being a meh-ASB.
im not a horse person irl, but i definitely enjoy the breeds that have more distinctive silhouettes in game (that's why i tend to favor work horses, because they have such a distinct silhouette with the bigger hooves)
I m hypnotised by the tail during the race :3
They remind me of the Marawari and TW
The palomino coat is absolutely STUNNING! Will absolutely make its way into my stable! The one thing I dont love is how the rear goes back really far and is kinda goofy
So stiff omg (guys I didn’t mean to start a war, the stiffness I was talking about was mostly the jump, also I’m not gonna lie when I say that I know next to nothing about saddlebreds, I do jumping irl and I don’t know anything abt saddlebreds but to me the gaits kind of look off and just weird, hopefully sso will fix it but I doubt it.)
they're still new so they will prob fix some of the stiffness
@@ooliwviahopefully but they are coming out next week so I doubt it
Pretty sure this breed is supposed to move like this
Wow It’s almost as if that’s the breed and trait of the horse 💀
@@gabrielegirjotaite575 it is all these people in the comments complaining clearly have no idea about to saddlebred 😭
The best horse since the gen 3 mustang!i never thought sso would impress me against after seeing horses from this year but these saddlebreds have impressed me.WELL DONE SSO!👏🥳
I really like them, and I think their special gait was done correctly and is fluid. They look a little small imo (irl they are a bit higher at the wither, although like with most carriage horses they have high necks making up a lot of height).
when the placeholder model is better then the official one XD
to those who are like woah wtf this horse looks so weird, as an ex saddleseat rider who still works with and loves saddlebreds, they just fuckin look like this man. they are weird mfers. hell this model isn't even close to the crazy bred ones you'll see at some shows with nutso necks. people are wondering why the horse looks more cartoony/stylized and that's literally not due to style, that's How They Are irl. they have been bred for ages to be incredibly showy and peacocky. it'd be like wondering why those overbred dogs at dog shows look cartoony when drawn; no babe, they're just scrungly like that irl!! they're walking spinal disorders with amazing personalities
On the last mane and tail cut, the horse clearly has a snake tail 😂 But it’s super pretty! Honestly I can't wait to buy it 🥰
Just realized you hit 100k. Congrats!
As I've grown up riding Saddlebreds and Arabs (and the crosses of both) with long tails and high heads, I absolutely love this
Impressed !! Unique gaits, unique colours, unique tail, I'm gonna get two. Thank u for sharing with us💛
I’ve never ridden nor met a saddlebred [though I adore them] so take what I say with a grain of salt. I’m fairly certain that their gaits appear stiff irl because of how collected they are just from videos I’ve seen. However, their jump is a bit awkward to me. For coats, I think they’re gorgeous. There wasn’t really one I disliked. The dapple grey and the bay are very pretty and I’ll probably be buying one. :]
All the things people are complaining about is literally the whole point of the horse y’all need to do your research
I'm familiar with Saddlebreds and I still can't stand the rack animation. The slow gait is nice though.
So the Saddlebreds irl are just slidding when they'r slow galloping ?? and their legs rn't directly touching the floor when extending their legs ? like naahhh
@@3O01It’s a special gaited horse it’s supposed to look like it’s gliding do you not know a single thing about the horse 💀 and it literally is touching the horse it’s just brief because AGAIN it’s a special gaited horse that’s the au it’s supposed to be
That final clip kind of looked like the American Saddlebreds have an actual transition between gaits rather than just immediately changing!!
The long tails omgggg
The canter and gallops def need another frame as the leading forelegs sort of pause before continuing the animation. Sad they didn't make a plain chestnut. That's like THE color you think when you think Saddlebred. Like a buckskin for mustang or white for Arabian. And I thought I might get the bay but they once again made some random stripe line that makes the face look crooked.
womp womp
Albinism doesn’t occur in horses, so I assume ur talking about greys. It’s fine, not all American saddlebreds are chestnut. It’s just a coat you see often. I agree with the gallop and canter, they definitely need more work.
Whew that's a relief it looks really good! They got the gaits spot on and humane lookin. 🎉 They look full of attitude 😂 The movement is very fluid hats off to whoever designed this model honestly.😂
Finally a positive comment
Finally someone lying for no reason
@@nitrevl0463look, people have their own opinions. They’re not lying, they are giving their opinion. Just like it is your opinion that they aren’t good. Doesn’t mean your opinion is any less valid then theirs or vice versa.
Hopefully that long tail is foreshadowing for a better friesian.
Honestly the gaits look pretty breed-accurate from what I've seen on Saddlebreds. The rack jump landing is horrendous though. I'll still probably buy one but I'm gonna wait until they hopefully release a chestnut later on
I think those are really well made for that sort of breed.
They actually put research behind it and i think it turned out very nice, especially the long tail and such.
Yeah they're not going to please everyone but that how it is irl too - not everyone likes breed XY.
I think, even tho im not a huge saddlebred fan, this is the best horse they've made for a long time quality vise.
Its crazy to me how people are saying they dont like the gaits on this horse but they liked the selle francais gaits? 😭I really wanted a selle francais but the gaits were so crusty and i actually quite like the gaits on the american saddlebred
edit: i mean the idle animations and jumps on this horse are kinda whack but my point stands!
Agreed. This one got much of the Selle's gaits. They are off. However the Selle model itself is so perfect. Animations ruined it a bit.
@@mimicri326 absolutely yeah i really like looking at the selle francais and their coats but yeah the gaits kinda give gen 2 and im really picky and only buy the best horses that are released LMAO
This is the problem when kids or even adults have opinions on something they know nothing about. Most of the people who are so vocal about gaits dont own a horse and have never even ridden one in real life. They will praise breeds with horrific animations and then crap all over properly done ones, it drives me nuts lol.
@@TheBakingSlave so true
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL TAIL! I love the coat colors a lot!
am i the only one who just genuinely loves the saddlebred, they’re one of my fav breeds irl and even tho the gaits are wonky i love the model unlike a lot of ppl 😭
You’re not the only one. I ride saddlebreds irl so they are my favorite breed. I can never get on a horse of another breed without feeling weird cause I’m so used to riding the saddlebred.
@@evelyngrayridersso5722 that’s great !!! :) i’m not an equestrian so idk how riding them feels but they’re beautiful imo and their gait in saddleseat is beautiful (wish there wasn’t sm abuse behind the discipline tho)
@@lucabun Sorry for the long paragraph. You are so right. Saddle seat is a beautiful riding discipline and it’s wonderful for those who can’t do patterns (like me). As a low level saddle seat rider that only rides in lessons and shows in winter tournaments 5 times a year and has been riding for almost 11 years, I will assure you that there is not at much abuse in the discipline as people make it to be. It’s looks different with breeds that don’t look like a quarter horse, thoroughbred, or warmblood and it’s not a worldwide sport (it’s only in the United States and South America) so so many people just assume the entire sport is abusive. Some people also mix it up with the big lick which uses a different breed of horse and was created several decades after saddle decades was created. There’s a small percentage of the saddle seat community that choose to abuse their horses and they’re not allowed to show. Yes there are some things I’ve seen done or used that I don’t agree with but it’s not that many things as people say it is. Saddle seat was made to show off the natural movements of the horses used in the sport. It’s just that the people started using abusive methods which two of those things have been banned. I have heard somewhere (I don’t remember where) that the newer generation is trying to better the sport and get rid of abusive or unnatural methods but don’t take me up on that because I don’t know if it’s for sure or not.
they are so pretty i hope they make the new Friesians the same way... just as healthy, elegant and beautiful
Their backs are so hollow while jumping, it looks like they'll break. It gives me bent hot dog vibes.
Oh its beautiful! i love this new tail style! and i love the music u used.. excited for this horse :))
Oh they look so cool and gorgeous!! Amazing job on the American Saddlebred! Oh it's so apparent now how outdated the starter looks compared to the other horses. If we are going to get gen 4 horses (as in them being compatible for breeding and customazation) then it would be great if they started with the starter horse and give it an updated more generation 3 look. Right now it looks more generation 2.
They're stunning! And the way they animated the long tail is PERFECT
Omg they look stunning ❤❤❤
My heart horse was a saddlebred, this makes me miss her so much 😭 wish sso did a little better with the animations. Thank you so much for sharing!
The model is realy beautiful but the head just feel a little bit too big, but I wanted a fullt black or a fully liver chestnut whitout to much markings, but other wise do I like them. And I hate that they just stop to jump in the air:( Sso realy need to fix that on all horses, and I dont understand that even new horses, have t his isue
Another banger keep it up cc creations.
I have no words for saying how good the canter is so majestic so beautiful...,❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been to Saddlebred shows before and have seen them close up in person, trust me when I say they really do look like this! Yes they are shaped wonky and odd but that is what makes them a very unique and instantly recognizable breed. negative opinions are fine, but please keep in mind what the real life horses look and move like. I recommend watching some western pleasure saddlebred shows for reference 😊
I was gonna say, I think they were pretty spot on with this! The TN Walker got a mixed response too for similar reasons.
Good to know!
What gets me is that SSO completely refuses to give this horse breed their natural gaits all because of the big lick shit, which there is a difference. (Before you come hating, Icelandic and Paso Finos are two examples of gaited horse breeds) Its the same thing for the Tennessee Walkers. But, when it comes to the dutch warmblood, it has the very obvious, toe flick in the extended gait. That is NOT natural and its not exactly extended. It is an abusive behavior.
I’ve waited for this horse for 10+ years 😭😭 I’m buying every single one
IAM SO EXITEDD
WHO IS EXITED
👇
Looks good!!! I really like them!
Everytime there's a spoiler I think 'oh neat' and everytime the comments are filled with people having insane hyper realistic expectation of this highly stylized game. Yes the gaits area bit stiff but I don't think they're that bad. I hope they tweak the the special gaits because they look a bit... off. I don't mind the jumps or the trot tho, when you're racing you're not even going to be paying that much attention to them anyway and nothing looked TOO out of place (them poor connie ponies man)
“It’s cartoony” it’s a fantasy game with a cartoon style??? What the hell do you expect lmao
@@agentkenobii But we know that SSO can do fluid, realistic, and honest interpretations of horses, though? Even stylized, breeds like the Dutch Warmblood, Paint, and Appy are PHENOMENAL bc they're fluid, look athletic, and don't look like they're made to insult toddlers. Some of the other SSO breeds? Either feel 90% recycled, look like they're in pain when they move, or have lackluster coats that a toddler on MS Paint could've done better...it's the inconsistency that's the issue.
@@redfyresasoiaf The coats are fine. If you think you can do it better then do it yourself. No seriously I am a digital artist who does research into game dev stuff all the time for fun. This stuff ain't easy especially when dealing with higher ups. A LOT of you if not most players critique the creative team when their work is bound by executive decisions 99.9% of the time so you're not criticizing the right people and you're not going for the source! The artists just have to push a product out the door and have bills to pay, please think about that next time. Its been a known fact that management at Starstable has been ass for lack of better words so I'm not shocked that things look rough around the edges.
Also just because artists can make something realistic doesn't mean they always should. Stylistic choice isn't always insulting to the real thing. Is My Little Pony an 'insult made by toddlers' to you too? Because the whole point of stylistic choice is to use reality only as a base, not strict rule. Like I said I'm an artist, I can draw realistic animals but do I? nope! Because I needed to learn how they worked first BEFORE I could apply my own style. Unfortunately whether it looks good or not depends on who looks at it. Just because you don't vibe with it doesn't make the art bad. I'm so sick of SSO players not understanding these things so yall can either read this and go down a Google rabbit hole yourselves so maybe you'll learn something but I ain't wasting my time on folks who believe every horse game under the sun as to be super hyper realistic. Most of you wouldn't even be able to play them if they were trust me.
@@UmbraBorealis I just don't see why a boring chestnut wasn't the first saddlebred they thought of considering that's like THE color of the breed. I'd wager like 70% of ASBs are chestnuts (I've worked with saddlebred trainers for 5+ years before my current gig) and not including even ONE chestnut is ridiculous. The arabians have three, yes THREE, grays but the ASBs doesn't even get a chestnut? That's like a dog game making a corgi and not making a single orange and white variant. It's bonkers at best, lmao. I'm not at all under selling the amount of work that went into the coats they did make, I'm complaining that apparently no one thought a chestnut would be a good idea for the ASB even though, let's be honest, if someone knows an ASB irl it's a chestnut...
Oh my gosh I love them.. I have a few critiques but other than that they’re perfect. By far my favorite horse in the game ❤❤
these are so funky I love them 😭 can’t wait to pace all over the place
Omg they are so beautiful ❤❤❤😮
Omg amazing , I wanna buy him ❤
fr man istg theyre so aiduoawdaj
Whatever team animated the Lippizaner also animated this horse….it’s painfully obvious.
Idk…I always wait till it’s in game to make final judgement (though if it really comes out next week, it’s not getting changed) but as of right now I’m not compelled to buy. Nothing about this horse screams Saddlebred to me. Take the long tail away and you’d never in a million years guess that that’s what this was. Contrast this with the IRL Saddlebred, which is arguably one of the most easily recognizable breeds in terms of both build and movement. Not that my opinion means much, but this feels like very shoddy work. I’d love to have my mind changed on release.
Ooof looks like they took the Marwari and just remodeled the head a bit. Not bad, but not as good as I was hoping. The pacing gait in particular looks off, especially considering how nice and smooth the Iclandic's gait is. Was hoping it would be better tbh.
They literally look identical to saddlebreds in real life. I owned one for 20 years.....most of the people saying this have never actually been near a Saddlebred.
@@TheBakingSlave The model is pretty. I am talking about the gaits. The way the front and hind legs are animated doesn't look like they are in sync.
Omg I'm so happy, I've been dying to have saddlebreds for years! That long tail is EVERYTHING. The Rack did crack me up a bit, it's definitely goofy but the slow gate looks so good. I'm so getting one when they come out
It looks pretty good! I love the canter! The ground matches the animation and it feels like the horse is actually putting effort into it. Though the fast gaited gait looks really off and so do the jumps
That silver buckskin is coming home with me! That tail wow😍
Perfect timing 😂 I was just asked if there were any spoilers
they are so perfect THEY ARE SO PERFECT
They look nice!❤ Tho, I feel like something's off even if I can't tell exactly what, maybe its the thin-neck-big-head combo as anothet comment mentioned, but the horses are like that even irl so it can't be a fault.
Also I hope the idle animations have some still moments because I don't wanna see them moving all the time when ur standing still🧐
I love how flowy the tail animation is, seen from behind!
Speaking of tails, with that long ahh tail they would've made great base models for Dragon horses like they did with the friesians, but better tbh
I need them in my life 😭❤️ the tails and coats 😍😍😍
Beautiful! 🙌
They are perfect. I love each and every aspect of the Saddlebreds.
Holy shoot
That bay looks identical to my horse, Jackie!! Must get it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im so EXCITED i love them
Omgg they're so cute!!
they already have so much personality, I really like it
If the jumping animation would be cleaner they actually would look really great while riding
The Icelandic might have some competition now lol since I in love
the long tail animations when its on the floor makes me giggle lmao it looks like a feral snake
Best coats so far for me but man that tail on the jump landing would make me crazy
I am so excited for these horses. Probably my favorite aside from the American paint
Love it thx for the news ❤❤
I absolutely LOVE these horses!!😍
It’s so pretty I’m gonna diiiiieee!!!
Seriously I need all of them! So glad I stocked up on star coins!
Edit: The long tail appreciation was appreciated
I love it!
ROSE DAPPLED MY BELOVED, I LOVE IT. IM GETTING THAT ONE
SSO really needs to add more neck movement into ALL th3 gaits….
Although usually true, especially in the gallop, this is very close to how an actual Saddlebred moves....
I like both gaits and colors, I find their neck kind of odd though. I'll definitely buy one!
i wish they releases spoilers earlier so they could fix what we don’t like.
Omg Im so excited 🥰
I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THEM UCHH LOVE IITTT❤❤❤❤
Out come when you breed a Tennessee walker and a Marwari . 😭
Okey i loooove the tail animations theyre so smoth :0
I think that they captured the breed so good. Definitely gonna get one!
Nope. Just looks like the marwari but with stiff gaits
@@Little-Willow Well they are pretty similar breeds 😅
@@squirrelflight8070 but its even more stiff than the marwari. But i respect your opinion 💕😊
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH!… i really like them but is it just me or does the tail remind me of the morgans tail? Not really a fan of the tail on the ground but its a really nice addition to have that option on this horse
