The Horse is the player's constant companion and primary mode of transportation in The Star Stable computer games.
Horses represent the core mechanic of the game, being used for travel, racing, competitions, and more.
The player's will start off with one of four horses depending on whichever game they are playing. These being the Irish Draft, Cleveland Bay, Einseidler, and American Standardbred, for the Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer Rider respectively.
Appearance
The horses in the four Star Stable games are available in a few different models with a few different hair styles. In most cases there is only one color available for each breed. Some of the horses also have leg wraps. The player cannot custom design a horse but instead has to choose from the breeds available in the different stables around Jorvik.
