Feathers
The North Swedish Horse sports moderate feathering on its legs. This long hair covering the horses' canon and fetlock means that the North Swedish Horse cannot wear leg wraps or open front boots in the game.

Trivia
- Docking originally meant "to amputate the tail bone at the Dock to keep the tail short"(presently illegal in most countries including Sweden), but nowadays the term means "the practice of cutting the hair of the tail skirt very short, just past the end of the natural dock of the tail." [8]
- Due to the length of the G3 NSH's docked tail is clear the hair has simply been cut and the tailbone has not been amputated.
- Brinicle and Rune Runner use the G3 North Swedish Horse model.
- The Gen 3 North Swedish Horses share some of their animations with the Connemara.
- There was previously a glitch when the Gen 3 North Swedish jumps; the neck snapped backward. This has been patched.
- At an unknown date in 2022, the Gen 3 North Swedish Horses' walk and trot animations were slightly changed. They appear to be based off of or shared with those of the Gen 3 Shire Horse.
