So the fleabitten grey body base has been added to all the Horsemaker versions now.
I’m tinkering away at the handler/showmanship at halter version, it’s barely started, but it’s there. Just need to finish the base items for the show shirts, jackets, pants, boots, etc. to dress up the person, and some blingy show halters for the horse. Banded mane and more colours too! I’m motivated to add more pieces to represent the NSH and Arab types, since I’m now roped into my Barn Owner’s Arab club, and I have never been to a flashier show than the Royal Red.
The computer wrinkles are shaking out at last, and I’m making a “to-do” list of things to add. What would you like to see added to the Horsemakers, or to the Snafflez website? What would you vote for having done first? I’ll use the answers to this post to help decide what to add first.
Don’t forget you can always email to design@snafflez.com with any suggestions, ideas, or submissions for the gallery.

Love the flee-bitten grey! What I would like to see on Snafflez is martingales, some more horse colours, stirrups on the saddles would be great! Maybe riders for the English and Western servers.
Are the handlers going to be removable by the way?

I would love to see mabey lead ropes for the halters and stirrups for the saddles. I love the fleabitten grey horse! I think it would be good if you could have different types of noseband or mabey rubber reins too. I think the handlers horsemaker will be really good when it is finished and you could mabey have competitions of the best horses designed by people. It would be good if you could change the length of the tail and I think a racing saddle would be a good idea. I love snafflez horsemakers!

I love the flea-bitten gray. Could we have extra long manes that reach the bottom of the horse’s neck and the opson of long and extra long hair(The long hair would come to the handlers sholders and the extra long to her but (I didn’t just say that did I?) . ) and different colors of hair for the handlers as well? Leadropes would be good so would lots of different nose-bands, I will have continue my comment later as I am being belled so that I get cutlery and have supper.:D

Here are some things I’d like to see (even though not all are available in tack shops):
*Nylon halters for the english horses
*The white mane to look less grey (since it’s kinda odd on palominos)
*The option to add blue eyes to any color
*The off-hind hoof fixed- it looks like there’s either a chunk of it missing or two “prongs” are sticking out
*More western cinch colors
*More western rein colors
*Western bridle colors that match the saddles more closely (they don’t seem to match when you put them close together)
*Silver trim for the western saddles
*Frenteras/Chamfrons
*A separate section for jousters that has medieval tack (ornate medieval bridles, caparisons, medieval saddles, armor, etc.)
*More white markings for the body (it’s hard to make a realistic-looking tobiano with the markings currently available- a tovero or splash option would be nice, too)
*A unicorn horn or Pegasus wings
*Feather (the legs)
*Some kind of highlights in the black mane and tail (to make them look more hair-like)
*A leadrope that ties the halter to the saddle horn
*A black western saddle
*Edges of the tails more hairy
*A snowflake Appaloosa marking (like the blanket, just with spots instead of holes)
*Different base coats for the leopard
*Decorated nosebands (some to match the browbands, some just nice on their own)
*For the lightened areas of the pangare to look more yellowish, not grey (grey makes the horse blend into the background so it looks kind of like a ghost horse)
Sorry for the long list- lots of ideas tonight. My top three picks would be fixing the hind hoof, nylon halters, and having more options for white markings. But even if nothing were to change, I’d probably keep coming back here for years. I love the Horsemaker!

Love the fleabitten! Id like to see some ‘bling’ for the western saddles, ponies, some western cinches, and some martingales, and some more hair colours for handlers? (I Know that you already said you were working on ponies and martingales) Keep up the AMAZING work

I LOVE the grey! I think we need a lighter palomino, more bays (they ARE the most common color!!!!!), more mane colors, and more long mane colors! i think stirrups would be very nice but i think the colors bother me the most because no REAL chestnut mane for a chestnut or sorrel horse! I am a total fan of light palominos so it would be nice for one of those…
Kate
January 30, 2010 at 7:27 pm
I totally agree with EVERYTHING FriendofDuns said! yes its ALOT but most are very good ideas! We aslo need a lighter palomino, new mane colors, and WAY more long mane colors!!!!

Quick Question: ARe you submitting as you go? Or are you making a bunch then submitting it all in one?
admin

small batches. based on the voting here.
The priority is always to make things that help people look at colours. But after that, I’ll get to adding more things that don’t matter as much for colour, but still help make the picture “complete”.
You’ll see the bodies updated first. I’m fixing the hoof issue, because I guess we can’t just pretend the horse has corks in one hind shoe or something.
And the colours are getting updated. Those will just appear as they’re finished. Same with the white markings.
The manes and tails will follow. More long, more braided, more realistic. Probably ponies and drafts at the same time. So that will be the biggest push, because there has to be more reorganizing to make it work.

I think you should drag horseshoes to the horses front feet or both front and hind feet. (you would be able to see the silver underneathe it!
Thanks,

Meg
April 16, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Every things lookin good!
I would love to see still, stirups on english saddles, different tyes and ages – foals and ponies. Also, a brown leopard appaloosa.

April 30, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Here are some more things that would be good:
. The possibility of having a maker where you could pose the horse if you wanted to but the pose that the horse is in in the other makers is the default pose.
. We could do with snowflake and brown leopard appaloosas.
. I would like the rugs and halters version back with foals and the tendon boots as well.
. The driving harness needs to actualy fit the horse.
. It should be possible to “get the horse shod”, in other words, put shoes on the horse.
. Backgrounds.
. Stirups on the english saddles.
. More texture on the saddlepads.
. Different tack for racing, dressage and jumping.
I think thats about it for now.

Oh, fix the white spot just above the horses ears and in line with the nose, yes it is in all of them

Yes, it is in *most* of them. It’s a marker spot for ensuring the blue eyes all lined up properly. I forgot to take it out. I was hoping nobody would notice before I had a chance to fix it.

I have refound the horsewear bit but I can only get to it from here and not from the makers (When I said rugs and halters I ment horsewear.).:S

Could we have tail bandages in the horsewear bit please?
Katharine
May 5, 2010 at 3:35 pm
This is a really cool game . I especially like all the different body patterns and the new additions. you know what would make this game even cooler though? if you added a section with dogs instead of horses. i’ve looked all over the internet and for the life of me i can not find a game like that.
Tamsin
May 31, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Could we please have a side-saddle horsemaker.
Maria
June 3, 2010 at 4:44 pm
It would be really cool if you could have different breeds and ages, my main conserns though, are…
-Handlers – clothing, breeches, helmets, hair etc. would be cool, as well as children.
- Wheres the stirrups on the english saddles?!?
]- It would be cool if there were weekly contest or somthing.

Would you remove the background of dots on the fore right stocking please.
Rachel
June 20, 2010 at 8:43 am
well i also think that you should get backgrounds and horse poses but my suggestion would be to get riders to put on the horses

July 31, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Here are some thing that would make the game better:
Clydesdales
Stirrups on the saddles
Dappled coats eg.(dapple Grey)
Riders on the horses
more types of tack like racing saddlesetc.
foals and ponies
floating gear (tail bandages)etc.
That would make the game GREAT!!!

I would love to see:
* options for horses to have feathers (for the legs)
* an English racing version
* different positions which the horse would stand like rearing, bucking, walking, trotting, cantering, galloping and jumping
* have handlers ride the horses in the English and Western section
* have reins that matches the colours of the bridle e.g. pink bridle so pink reins
* more white markings it is really hard to make a coloured horse with the white markings at the moment
* different mane lengths for every colour and to be able to hog the mane or have it a lot longer
Thanks Lucy Bee x

I love the Fleabitten Grey! Maybe we could add some more mane & tail colorings, the russet tail doesn’t have a russet mane match..Also maybe some English stirrups? Also, add some riders, possibly? Also, I love the paint/pinto choices, but say your using black, you could get like 2 full-body-paint-spots, so it looks like it’s a white horse with black spots instead of black with white? What I mean is, get an outline of the neck to tail (cut out legs) and kind of make two different white spotted patterns that will make it look like it’s a white bodied-horse. xD Sorry if thats confusing. I’d also like to see more vibrant colors to match the wraps. Like that awesome bright pink doesn’t really match any colors… xD
But, your site is looking amazing, and I just love it. x]
Brittany
August 14, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Forgot a few things x]
-Different sizes for horses (ponies, light horses, draft horses. We don’t need specific breeds. Just smaller, medium and large.
-If you add draft horses, don’t add the feathers. Just have the feathers on the side, because horses like Belgians don’t have feathers x]
-Bigger paint spots
-A blaze that doesn’t go over the nose.
-Diamond star
-smaller star
