Blog Update

 I can't believe it's been since October of last year since I posted here. I definitely needed a little time to rethink things.

I'll be continuing Jorvik Star soon. I'm hoping to gather a team of other Star Stable Online Enthusiasts to help with articles, "photographs", and other things for the blog. 

I'll also hopefully start writing my SSO Fanfic again soon.

I'll be continuing the blog as soon as possible, so stay tuned!

Jorvik Star Issue 16: September Recap

 ☆ Jorvik Star ☆

Issue 16 ☆ September 

A Note From the Editor...

Welcome to the September issue of the Jorvik Star! I've been a little behind on posting as I've been super busy and also haven't been feeling well, but I'm going to try to get back into blogging now!
In this issue we'll summarize September's updates. 

The American Paint Horse 

The Generation 3 American Paint Horse has arrived in Jorvik.
☆The APH enjoys roaming freely together with its rider with nothing else before them but inviting grassy plains and the backdrop of a snowcapped mountain range. 
☆It shares a close ancestry with other popular North American breeds like the American Quarter horse and the American Thoroughbred. Therefore, it shares their long history of aiding humans in shaping North America into the land it is today. 
☆The APH is strong, easygoing and intelligent, making them a fun and rewarding breed to train. They're often sought out for Western Pleasure, Barrel Racing, and other Western events; but they can even thrive in other  areas such as English Pleasure, Equitation, and Show Jumping.

Where you'll find them: The Riding Hall and one in Fort Pinta.
Pricing: 850 SC
What level: You'll have to be level 7 to get them all except for the one in Fort Pinta 
Colors: Dark Bay Tobiano, Black Tobiano, Buckskin Overo, Chestnut Overo, Dapple Tobiano, and Grullo Tobiano 
*The APH has several mane styles available: a long, wild, and silky mane style; two braided mane styles; a short mane style; a mohawk; and Dressage braids.
**The Generation 3 American Paint Horse has two special movements that the American Quarter Horse also has: the Reining Spin and the Reining Slide Stop.

New Western Tack

Some new colors for Western Tack, including halters; blankets; boots; and saddles have arrived to the Global Store and the Tack shop at Starshine Ranch.

Star Stable Online's 10th Birthday 

Star Stable Online recently celebrated their 10th birthday. There was a party set up in Moorland with shops, birthday cake for you and your horse, and some fun photo op backgrounds. There was also trivia trails for prizes and free tours of many areas of Jorvik. SSO also released the free player created birthday horse, a very beautiful Jorvik Wild Horse.

Steve's Farm Revamp

Steve's farm got a makeover in September. A fresh coat of paint, a feed shop, new paddocks, and even a Dressage paddock was added, as well as lots of fun decorations and details made the makeover amazing. 

Six New Coat Varations

Six new coat variations were added permanently to Jorvik for the 10th Anniversary Celebration.
☆A Bay Brindle American Quarter Horse was added to Starshine Ranch for 950 SC 
☆A Fleabitten Grey Arabian was added to Goldspur Farm for 950 SC
☆A Black Pinto Jorvik Friesian was added to Jorvik Stables for 950 SC

Jorvik Star Issue 15: End of Summer Recap

 ☆Jorvik Star☆

Issue 15 ☆ July & August

A Note From The Editor...

Welcome to the July & August issue of the Jorvik Star! In this issue we cover everything from new horses to returning favorites to fun events. I was super busy at the end of summer so this will be a recap of the two months I missed. 
**Oct. Edit: Didn't realize this was accidentally posted unfinished! It's now complete and updated**

The Perfect Percheron Horses...

In the beginning of July the Generation 3 Percheron horse was welcomed to Jorvik. 
Where You'll Find Them: Marley's Farm in Silverglade plus one in Fort Pinta for a limited time then it gets moves to Silverglade.
Pricing: 850 SC
What Level: Any level for the Fort Pinta one - level 7 for the rest. 
Colors: Light Gray, Dapple Gray, Dark Dapple Gray, Black, Chestnut and Bay.
*The Percheron has two mane styles available - a long mane or braided loops.
**The Percheron has a special move called the Moose Walk. It was trained by Jorvik Rangers to do the Moose walk to help it traverse marshy terrain. While at a walk, hold the shift key while asking the horse to go faster.

New Baroque Tack

The baroque tack has new versions of the bridles added without the horn. They currently only fit the Gen 3 Finn Horse, Gotland Pony, Friesian, Arabian, and Percheron.

New Quests with Maya Dew...

A new quest was added to help Maya Dew find her own horse companion. You'll learn about Maya's ancestral home, learn some of her family history, and shed some light on the mysterious Unfortunate Dews Farm. 

The Tellina and Kampos have Returned!

The seahorses Tellina and Kampos came back to Jorvik until September 1st.
Pricing: 850 SC
Kampos is a calming horse who's the perfect partner for a skittish rider. They are resolute to a fault though - you'll never meet a horse as stubborn as the Kampos.
☆Tellina shimmers like a pearl and loves all things shiny. Their sharp eyesight is a big help when looking for treasures, but while always looking for new, sparkly things, they are also very easily distracted.
Along with Tellina and Kampos, the Panda Rays returned to Jorvik, the Pearly Panda Ray and the Shimmery Panda Ray. You could adopt one for 400 SC. 

Jorvik Stables Open House 

The Annual Jorvik Stables Open House returned to Jorvik. 
☆The beautiful open house Dressage arena returned to the paddock beside Jorvik Stables.
☆Three races were available, one Show Jumping and two Cross Country races. 
☆Seven lovely limited time horses were available for adoption. Three grey Gen 2 Lipizzaners for 949 SC each; Two Gen 3 Lusitanos, one fleabitten grey and one liver Chestnut, for 949 SC each; a Gen 3 Buckskin Andalusian for 950 SC; and a Gen 3 black rabicano Arabian for 950 SC.
☆The Open House shop opened with two new colors for the Baroque sets available.
☆Hugh the vet-vet returned to make your horse happy - one horse once per day.
☆The Petting Zoo returned.

Linda's Show Jumping and Red String Trail Ride.

Linda came to Moorland for two weeks with her Show Jumping race. And the following week, the Annual Red String Trail Ride returned. 

Dragon Horses and Flying Wyvern Pets

Two new magic horses - the Dragon horses - Faramawr and Aldrach arrived to Jorvik. 
Price: 950 SC
☆Faramawr the Green dragon horse embodies prosperity and life thriving after disaster, like the fertile soil and new islands formed in the wake of volcanic eruption. They also represent the precious minerals and jewels born of fire. This is a proud beast who requires hard work and patience. But if you rise to the challenge and persist you will be rewarded with a trusted and devoted friend.
☆Aldrach the Red dragon horse is the embodiment of nature's destructive but necessary forces, such as volcanic eruptions. To see the crimson scales of Aldrach is a warning of oncoming disaster, but you will grow stronger if you can pass through the fire. They Fe passionate, as difficult to control as a volcano, but the rider who perseveres will be richly rewarded with a lifelong companion and a new inner strength.
Along with the dragon horses came their companion pets, Wyverns, Happandi and Kolandi, for 400 SC each.

I was able to adopt one, and chose the Faramawr, named Nacho. I really like the horse and hope they return someday so I can get Aldrach too.

A Horses of Jorvik Race on a Frozen Lake

Guillermo Gadea from Horses of Jorvik returned with a limited time new race in Valley of the Hidden Dinosaur. The race is only for the Friesian/Sport Friesian, Clydesdale, Fjord, Faramawr and Aldrach, Petra and Erinys, or Woodear and Pepita. 

New Riding Hall Space for Clubs

Clubs officially now have their own riding arena in Silverglade. Head to where you'd enter your clubhouse and you'll find the club arena there too! It's a big, beautiful club riding hall.
At the arena you'll find:
☆Boards to chose preplaced props - one with Show Jumping and two Working Equitation and an exclusive to the club arena board with Western Trail, Pole Bending, and Barrels. 
☆Stands to sit and watch.
☆A dj area where you can choose from Star Stable music to play.
☆A cafe area with tables.
☆Access to storage, so everyone can change their outfit and tack there.
☆A horse mane styling station, so manes can be braided right at the arena.

That's all for the summer recap!

Jorvik Star Issue 14: June

 ☆Jorvik Star☆

Issue 14 ☆ June

A Note From the Editor...

Welcome to the June issue of the Jorvik Star! This month brought some BIG updates to the game that I'm super excited about. Here's the scoop on this month's updates!
-Ruby Skywalker ♡

500th Update: Ayla and Umbra Have Returned to Jorvik.

For Star Stable's 500th Update, the Ayla and Umbra magic horses as well as their Lunar Pet Companions returned to Jorvik.

The Rainbow Festival 

It's once again time to hop aboard Mica Stoneground's hot air balloon to the Cloud Kingdom! There you can:
☆Do the challenging and fun Rainbow Race
Buy Mica's Adventure Outfit, and some fabulous Rainbow clothing and tack!
☆Jump on fluffy clouds. Just jump onto a small cloud to try it!
☆Collect gold horseshoes for a horse xp boost.
☆Have a picnic in the clouds with your friends!

Mica left Jorvik onto another Adventure, however I still wanted to mention something I think is awesome that SSO did.

The Rainbow Parade & New Flag Bow Horse Decorations 

The Bobcat Girls have been known to throw a parade once in a while, and this year they did their first Rainbow Pride Parade from Moorland to Fort Pinta Beach! SSO also added new bows in the shop in the Cloud Kingdom designed after different LGBTQIA+ flags. I'm super excited to see SSO decide to make the annual Rainbow Festival be a way to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and seeing more diversity and inclusion in the game. I do however wish the new boss were always in the game to purchase and not just a seasonal item.

Silverglade Village Makeover Update

The little village of Silverglade got a major revamp. Here's everything you need to know:
