Description
Starter Version
"When Jon Jarl came to Jorvik, he brought some fine horses with him. During the storm, one of his stallions and a mare ran away to the forest. That pair of horses became the ancestors of the breed that is today called the Jorvik Warmblood. The Jorvik Warmbloods are known of their calm temperament and easy nature, which makes them well-known as a perfect horse for the beginners."
Purchasable Version
"On the island of Jorvik, where horses are celebrated like nowhere else on Earth, no variety is quite so beloved as the Jorvik Warmblood.
No one can quite pin down when or even if the Jorvik Warmblood became a distinct breed. They show more variety in coat than any other recognized variety. In 1972, the breeder Hamish Sunfield attempted put forward a studbook for the breed, only to be met with by his fellow Jorvegians. The Jorvik Warmblood is just 'a good horse!' To try and refine it any more is missing the point, they argued.
What everyone can agree with is that when you're riding a Jorvik Warmblood, you can 'feel' it. The bond they share with their rider is just a little bit different from other horses. This might sound like local superstition to the rest of the world, but Jorvegians know better. Trace a Jorvik Warmblood's ancestry back far enough and you're certain to find a little Jorvik Wild in the bloodline.
The Jorvik Warmblood is the quintessential pleasure horse. Sure-footed, clever and imminently agreeable, they're the Jack-of-all-trades of the horse world suited for all manner of competition or just hacking about. In adopting a Jorvik Warmblood, you're not just getting a horse - you're getting a friend for life."

Colors, Pricing, and Location
Starter Version
The Starter Jorvik Warmblood is freely given to the player when they join the game and the player is able to customize this horse however they'd like. The player may choose between 15 coat colors and 10 mane colors, which can give a total of 150 different variations of the horse.
Because horse colors are defined by genes and a combination of mane and body colors, the colors named here will not be congruent with real horse coat colors, but instead will be named on a base color and any noticeable markings.

Trivia
- The Starter Version of the Jorvik Warmblood is the only fully customizable horse in Star Stable Online.
- The Jorvik Warmblood is the only horse breed which the player must own, and it's impossible to sell the first one acquired.
- Players often call the Jorvik Warmblood a starter horse, since it is the first horse they can acquire.
- The "starter horse", the first horse you receive when starting the game, is a little more special than a normal Jorvik Warmblood; it is in fact a Starbreed.
- When the Jorvik Warmblood jumps, there is an glitch where the right front leg twists inward. This has been patched sometime in October 2021.
