Basic Notes
  • When starting out, you will only be able to buy basic black, bay or chestnut(including flaxen) horses from the 'wild' AH tier (this is different to wild horses). Each addition tier (common, rare & legendary) can be unlocked by progressing through the story and completing the relevant quests
  • Horses will spawn with one of 4 different mane/tail lengths. You can cut them short, but given time they will grow back to full length
  • Coats can have various additional white face and leg markings. These markings can be hidden if the horse is already white in those areas (but may still transfer when breeding)
  • Patterns can be applied over any colour
  • Silver (white mane + tail) can be applied over any colour (except chestnut)
  • Flaxen (cream mane + tail) can be applied over any chestnut coat
  • Colours vary greatly depending on the time of day, season & ambient lighting. I have images of each coat colour both outdoors and inside the stable to provide a better overview of the changes.
  • The game does not have realistic genetics when breeding horses

Thank you soooo much for this, I refer to it all the time!

They're done adding coats? Ah, a shame. I was hoping for champagne dilutes as well as cream. Oh well, we still get an incredibly variety.
littleperson404 4 Jun @ 1:22pm 
under the brindle list, are some of those cream brindles?
Fiona 25 May @ 12:15pm 
Got a - for me - total new color: Amber!

@Kiligami The coat does change the price of a horse. I don't have numbers for it but a cream appaloosa will sell for more than say, a plain chestnut (stats and races won matter more though).
Kiligami 9 Mar @ 1:44am 
In the auction price, does the horse colour/pattern have any impact on the price of the horse?
