Bartok's quarter markings
Bartok is the name of Loretta's horse in Star Stable Online. Bartok is never seen without Loretta on his back, and considering Loretta's outstanding riding accomplishments, he is undoubtedly an extremely accomplished and well-bred competition horse.
Appearance[]
Bartok's first appearance was a light grey Jorvik Warmblood, he wore a Bobcat Girls saddle pad, and had his white mane done up in button braids. He was first updated on September 19, 2018. All of his features (such as his button braids, light gray coat, etc..) were kept, except for his model, which is of the Gen 3 Trakehner model.
A side-by-side comparison of Bartok's first and second model
He was updated again on May 8th, 2024. Bartok's overall appearance remains the same, he is a light grey horse with button braids, however his model has changed and is now that of the Gen 3 Dutch Warmblood, with exaggerated brow bones.
This coat colour is unique to Bartok as it doesn't exist on this model. He is the very first horse in Star Stable Online to have Quarter markings on his croup.
Etymology[]
The name Bartok is an anglicized form of the Hungarian name, Bertók, which is a diminutive of the name "Bertalan" and other names beginning with Bert.
"Bertalan" is the Hungarian form of the name "Bartholomew", which was a Greek version of an Aramaic name meaning "Son of Talmai".

- Bartok's 2024 updated model wears the same saddle as Sabine's horse Khaan.
