Known issues:
- It looks bad:

• Seriously, it look stanky
• In particular, it's hard to tell what can and should be clicked on
• There's no visual indicator that the preview is out-of-date
• It'll occasionally pop up big scary error messages
• Expect major changes over the next few days

- You can slate an equipped item for removal, but you can't undo that without refreshing
- Throws up a big nasty error if you try to look at the page without providing a proper horse id
- Error messages are currently turned up to be very aggressive. If a big, scary orange box pops up, don't panic
- "Add Tack" issues:

• Oh god, it's hideous
• The preview image is currently non-functional
• Owned color palettes still show up in the "everything" listing
• Items you buy don't show up in the "owned" listing until after you refresh
• The color swatches for backgrounds and some of the manes are broken
