Tack and Genetics!

Wow! Thank you so much Abbey for all the work you put into this game!

Thanks Abbey! :) These updates sound great!

This is great!

Personally, I like the tack, however not on my horses. I prefer to see the color & patterns.

Things I've Noticed: The sets don't match! Endurance pad is red, bridle is purple? Driving harness is black, and the bridle is brown? Some reins are under the saddle, which isn't right at all.

Otherwise, beautiful artwork. Just not for me c:

Love the new auto locking feature, wish it was in place a week and a half ago. But at least I can't goof up again! Yea!!

Love the visible tack. Go Abbey!!

OMG It's Chrismtas all over again!!!!!

Nice

Absolutely love the new dressage tack on my Andies and Tekes. Wonderful job! Thank you, Abby.

All the updates are so cool! Seeing the tack o them is awesome! The dressage saddle blankets will take some getting used to they're so big haha I love that the bridles have different colours and I'm so tempted to diverse my lines with some EC horses haha

I love this update! The tack is awesome, and I'm so overjoyed auto-locking is here. :D

YAY !!!! I love it, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Abby :D

Oh, wow, a real quality of life improvement! ^^

I am so exited to see the visible tack! I love it! Thank you so much Abbey!

I love the tack, Racing and Western especially. I do have the same complaint that someone else did about the tack colors not matching, though. The Driving bridle is brown while the harness is black. The Endurance bridle is purple, (loving that color!) the saddle pad is red. Dressage, Western, Racing and Show Jumping all match beautifully.

I support the show/no show tack option, because there are some horses I want tack on and some I don't. With that option, though, would it be possible to work it so there is an extra option for showing/not showing just the leg and tail guards? I like the extra boost they give the horses, but for me they ruin the look of some disciplines, like Driving.

Also, I know this would take a fair amount of work, but I want to toss the idea out there. What about truly upgradable tack? As you upgrade the tack, the images of said tack get fancier. As an example, with Western you start with a simple stock saddle and split ear headstall, no silver or tooling, just plain leather, and by the time you hit level 5, the saddle is fully tooled and accented with silver. The bridle would match the upward trend. I know this would personally encourage me to upgrade most of my tack, and not necessarily to the highest level, either. I would keep some tack lower level simply because I like that lineart and coloring.

I saw someone above saying they don't like having fully tacked horses standing in a stall, and since I've had an idea for awhile that addresses that complaint, I'll air it here too. :) Changeable backgrounds! You could do many beautiful things with this idea from scenic to seasonal to competition themed (show jumping arena, barrel racing, etc.). Again I know this would take work, but it would be a wonderfully fun addition to the game!

I love this game, its art, and all the updates! Thank you for all your hard work! :)

I love the new updates, thank you so much

BEST UPDATE EVER

Tack SHOWING ON HORSES?!? WOW, ABBEY! Thank you SO MUCH for improving your game, I love this feature! Keep up the good work! :)

It's LIKE CHRISTMAS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will we ever be able to change pad colors and change bits etc?

So are the base stats of new foals based on if the parents were never given treats, been trained, or been in shows?

Yeah. I can already say that I look forward to the ability to turn off tack. I've never been a fan of visual representation of tack.
