Yeah the Tennessee Walker was weird. A trotting horse picture for a gaited horse.

At least it is not
that bad for the Criollo.
Were you around for the V2 horses? Now those were terrible. Every horse except the Friesian, Marwari, and Shetland had the exact same generic picture.
So are you reading what you get with the gifts in the forum? They can't be opened untill the 25th, so how do you know? (Without the sarcasm this time, please.)
I have a Greyfell. Got him accidently in the Christmas cards last year or the year before. I have no trouble keeping him alive for more than the required 30 days. Then he dies, I get 20,000 equus and 2 diamonds, I ressurect him, and start again. Pandora's boxes are numerous. And when I run out eventually, I can get them for a small amount of equus in the trades.
Howrse doesn't have top give us anything, and I appreciate what I get to help me enjoy the game for free.
