Awesome. The Vanner look better. The cuteness-factor is gone. But it's totally an improvement

Suggestion if I may. Make it more black, not greyish.
Show us the magnificent broad neck with all the massive muscle tones, and give it a loooong mane, like the one on the picture. Also a thicker tail + feathers please
Perhaps the neck on the PSH can be used as reference ?
I agree! I wish the new friesian had more feathering. A friesian to me has the beautiful feathering and long mane! - 2014-04-04Retired breeder wrote:
The friesians that you talk about are not purebred friesians. The only reason a friesian would be any color other than black *and* that is registered is if the sun made its color lighter. The pretty grey, white, and chestnut friesians are *not* registered as friesians. If you would like to read more our mod ardlamont has a forum topic on it.
Actually, Fox Friesians (chestnut Friesians) can be purebred. It all comes down to colour genetics. Here's a helpful link that explains it better than I could: http://www.usfriesianreferral.com/chestnut.html
According to this page, chestnut foals born from registered Friesian parents can be registered in the foal book and can produce registered offspring, so it's entirely possible that chestnut Friesians could be added to Howrse at some point.
I'd personally love to see Fox Friesians come to Howrse, seeing as sites like Horseisle already include them. I mean, who wouldn't love this guy?
- 2014-04-04Personally, the new Friesian coats look almost exactly the same! To me it doesn't matter. I love the new Fjord foals! I'm going to breed them!

Me. He just looks like he is covered in dust.
"Chestnut friesians CAN be registered, they jut remain in the foalbook." The foalbook is the basic registry (so that they are recognized as friesians and not some other breed) but the studbook is where fully registered friesians go.

You said yourself though, they can still be registered so that they are recognized AS FRIESIANSThey're no less Friesians than the ones in the studbook, they have exactly the same genetic makeup apart from the colour, and can still produce black foals that can go on to register in the studbook, go for star, etc.
And if that one was too 'dusty for you, how about this one? I feel including fox Friesians would at least help to sate those of us who want Friesian Sport Horses on Howrse, with all the colours available to equines - 2014-04-04Retired breederThe Royal Mirage wrote:

I know where you're coming from, don't worry. It just isn't my thing, and I have a feeling a lot of other players would be mad if friesians come in different colors. On a side note, it would be cool if we could crossbreed to get sport horses. I saw a shire sport horse over summer and it was awesome. If only the ideas forum was still around
.
- 2014-04-04I suppose some Friesian breeders would be mad, you expect an elegant black horse but get a chestnut instead XD I feel it might help educate some of the players on colour genetics even if Howrse doesn't use them, though that could also be bad if handled incorrectly. My dream of accurate colour genetics on Howrse is destined to be a flop XP
I met a ShirexHackney cross that was boarded where I ride - the most beautiful horse I'd ever seen to be honest with you. He was bred to be a coach horse but was afraid of the wheels, so they started jumping him. So much scope, and the sweetest temperament, he was a real dream horse <3
