The Jorvik Wild Horse

Hello!

The day has finally arrived! (Sorry I know this post is a few days late, been busy setting up this blog) The Jorvik Wild Horse has arrived at Firgrove! For the past few weeks (or month?) SSO has been hosting an instagram contest for the design of a custom Jorvik Wild Horse. The winner's horse was released recently, and the second and third places were also just released this Wednesday. A pleasant surprise was the fact that Star Stable decided to compromise with the people that were complaining the multicolored horses were unrealistic by saying

"In built-up areas and around civilization in Jorvik's towns and villages, they will look like any normal horse. The Jorvik wild horse loves being out around the island's gorgeous countryside, and you'll notice something pretty special happen when they're thriving in their most beloved surroundings: they change colour!"

I personally think that people shouldn't be complaining, it's not like SSO is a realistic game anyway, our horses talk to us, there are magical soul riders, and you have to close portals to an evil world called Pandoria, so honestly they shouldn't be saying SSO is a realistic game. I am just in love  with these new horses, and I cannot wait to buy one of my own! I am so lucky I was saving up for a white thoroughbred, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy one of these beauties!

This is the winner's horse! Isn't she gorgeous?

I absolutely am in love with this beautiful ocean blue color!

This horse is probably my least favorite of the three, but still, it's so majestic! Reminds me of a stallion, haha.

The first picture of each set is what the horse looks like in the wild when they turn colors, and the second picture of each set is what the horses will look like in the cities.

Gary Goldtooth is selling the horses by Figrove!

It reminds me of the mysterious wagon near Nilmer's highland (before the star rider quests) which we now know has to do with Ydris and the circus.

If you need help with the location here is a closer pic! (Stole this from online haha)

The horses can be bought near the path to Firgrove :) They cost 399 star coins, which I am so grateful for, since they are custom horses I was sure they would be at least a 1000 sc, and ain't nobody got time to save up all those! There is a catch though, Gary Goldtooth will only be in Firgrove for one week. He explains that he lives on the other side of Firgrove, called Firfall, and only comes over to Firgrove each blue moon. I'm assuming that buying the wild horses will be like the iceberg, you can only buy them once a year. So if you miss it this year, you'll still have a chance next year! Besides that, did anyone else notice a big clue sso gave us? Firfall. Firfall is the name of the territory beyond Firgrove. This could mean two things -  SSO has been thinking about adding a new area in Firgrove and they have already been developing it and such, and Firfall is the name of one of the towns OR Firfall is just a name from the StarShine Legacy games that they chose to use but haven't been working on the new area at all. Either way, we know the name of the area past Firgrove!

And I'm going to leave you with one last picture from Star Stable's YouTube video:

The horses transform when they are in the wild by a bright pink flash (SSO has a thing with pink XD). When I first logged on Wednesday night, all I could see were these bright flashes happening every five seconds while I was racing XD! Who else is really excited to buy one of SSO's new dream horses? Which one are getting/got? I'm still trying to decide between the blue and purple!
Until tomorrow :)
