Icelandics have Icelanded!
Icelandic Horses are Here!
We're so proud and happy here at Star Stable HQ to be able to release the brand new Icelandic horse breed. Our awesome team of animators, designers and programmers have been working day and night to bring you this beautiful horse with its magical personality and wonderfully unique gait, and the day has finally arrived where you can be the proud owner of one of these little beauties!
Only slightly larger than a pony, but with a huge heart!
Icelandic horses in three gorgeous colours are available from today in New Hillcrest in Epona. There's much to learn about our lovely new Nordic friends, but let's start by finding out about their uniquely gorgeous gait!
Why Trot when you can Tölt?!
Icelandic horses have a truly unique way of walking: a special gait called the 'tölt'. The 'ö' is pronounced a bit like a 'u', so 'tölt' sounds a bit like 'tullt'. It might not be the most beautiful word, but oh boy is it the most beautiful walk!
Check out the video at the top of the article to see this adorable little trot in action! This style of walking is unique to the Icelandic horse, and we hope you love what our animators have done to bring this amazing walk to an amazing horse.
3 colours of Icelandic horse available TODAY!
Icelandic horses are a little bigger than the ponies available in Star Stable, can be found in New Hillcrest, and cost 969 Star Coins. We hope you love them as much as we do!
A Very Silverglade Christmas
The Councilman in Silverglade needs your help with all of his Christmas planning, and this time, he's going to need a hand with his special Christmas goats. In Northern Europe, these special goats made of straw are a traditional symbol of Christmas, and people all over Jorvik love to see their towns and villages decorated with these special little guys.
Christmas Goats are a traditional decoration in Jorvik!
Some players may remember this task from previous years, but with all-new rewards for 2015, you can relive the festive fun! You'll still be able to have a go at the Silverglade Christmas quests from previous weeks if you haven't already started!
New Gear!
There's a new range of horse gear available at the mall from today, so hop on the bus and check it all out!
St. Lucia Celebrations!
St. Lucia is a special holiday just before Christmas celebrated in certain parts of Europe, including Jorvik! Check out all the extra cute St. Lucia celebration items available in the Christmas shops from today.
Horse Market
Eddie and Ferdinand are busy getting the horse market ready for business in Fort Pinta.
Hope you have a great week in Jorvik, and we can't wait to see all your pics and videos of you and your Icelandics on our social media!
