I absolutely adore this game. Best horse game since Equestriad and I've played almost every horse game possible. The horses are so gorgeous. Some variation in models could be a great future update! The sky is the limit. The color options are phenomenal. I love the traits, love the way potential works; breeding is super exciting to find out what type of beautiful/adorable foal will pop out. I have so much I can say about this game. Favorite things: -gorgeous models that do justice to horses and absolutely nail each gait, something that shockingly few games do. -exciting goals to work towards that really let you feel like you're progressing -townfolk have cute stories when you chat with them, and there are benefits of maxing your relationship with them -the horse accessories available are so addicting; some of the sets are meh but that's pretty subjective (looking at you, halter with bows all over the noseband) -resource gathering is INCREDIBLY lucrative and rewards you greatly for simply enjoying a gallop around the rolling hills and lovely environments, especially with a horse that harvests double. You can even harvest all the supplies you need to care for your horses- stall substrate, hay, supplementary hay, treats, medicine ingredients, fertilizer ingredients, and more. highly recommend a double gathering horse as your first or second, and getting a BUNCH of money while you explore! These resources will always be useful and most of them are used relatively regularly; if not they can be sold. -no punishment for missing the 2 am bed time- it simply gently teleports you back home. you can try spamming F while it puts your horse away to try to brush them before bed. No penalties, no shame-message, no lost horses, nothing! It's such a welcome respite from the unnecessary punishments games give for you wanting to play more of them- ESPECIALLY IN THE COZY GENRE! What do you *mean* I need to be stressed with a time limit in a cozy game? Thank you Rivershine for how you set up the end of day. -little details that make the game feel more real and immersive, like your horses nickering to you when you walk in the barn, or their ears perking up and head lifting up when they eye a jump. Or their mane growing over time. ears flicking back and forth, little noises, no excessive whinnying like many games. -I steer with WASD in this game by unlocking steering with "alt", which is the only way I was able to play the game properly, I'm not good at using mouse-steering. It helps with precision too. protip: you can spam the space bar the whole time you approach a jump if you're having trouble timing it. no penalty. -The auctions are pretty neat. It would be nice to have the horses enter and exit a bit faster though haha. Ideas for upgrades/improvement: -lead changes- you could make Q and E control lead changes, and give it a minor bonus to help with turns or something. that would be amazing. I haven't played many games that do lead changes but it's a great addition and could add a little more strategy to competitions too. equestriad did it at least in the dressage part i think. -extended pedigrees with PHOTOS OF THE PARENTS, pretty please? I'm making my own, but it gets confusing remembering who's who with long lines. a little pic of the horse, or an album, or a pedigree book or something would be amazing!! -I need more horse storage. No game will let me have as many horses as I want although Rivershine certainly comes close :) a pokebox or something? they get "leased to a farm" and come back when you need them? Please? I love your horses and want all of them, it breaks my heart to sell some TT__TT -different horse models/body types? That may be in the works, but having like, an andalussian type body, draft horse body, etc would be so cool!! i have no idea how hard the models are to program but I'd send you money to help haha <3 -Would it be possible to get the ability to close the game before saving? like a pause that lasts through closing the game? a lot of my hours are from having to leave the game open all night or while I was away because I couldn't save/finish the day, and couldn't close the game. Please please please. -idea- different temperament types maybe? idk. I can see upsides and downsides. -full mane and tail dyes vs stripes? maybe the stripes only is to encourage breeding for desired mane and tail but it would be cool to have more dye options. not a big deal though. Anyways, I adore this game. Really truly. I mean look at my time played lol. This is, hooves down, the BEST horse game I've played. at least since Equestriad and it's better than equestriad <3 Thanks devs. game tips: -your first horse of the game: the very first auction of the game, you can "pass" indefinitely. My recommended starter horse has the potential point a day trait, the double treat trait, and for the third slot, for a competition horse you can do uses less energy in competitions, this will help a lot. For a harvesting horse, pick double harvesting. A good harvester setup: Tree, Carrot, Leaf- "uses less energy training outdoors", "double treat", and "double harvest". -get a horse with the leaf icon/double harvesting, especially early game. run around and harvest lots of resources- you can both use them to freely care for your horses, and sell them for big profits. -try unlocking steering with alt and using little tap tap tap with the left and right keys for much easier/smoother turning especially in the early game. remember you can spam the space bar all the way to and over a jump with no penalty. -when training horses, because I unlock steering, I pretty much neglect flexibility completely until later in the game. endurance first, then speed, then jumping, then flexibility but trying my best not to put any into flex. highest % is always in endurance for me; 2nd highest is speed; then jump; then flex way lower %. -to find resources on the ground MUCH more easily, change graphics setting to "fast". takes away all ground clutter and makes them easily visible. -lifehack: you run out of energy easily in the early game, so here's an amazing little feature: you can tie your horse to any of the tying posts in the game and then hit esc to go to the pause screen- and even while paused, your horse will regain energy. It lets you do SO much more, especially in the early game! -your horse can still canter when out of energy

Are you like me - an adult woman who grew up with mid to terrible horse games and for so long craved that perfect escape for your inner equestrian? Well you are finally here! You've made it! My embarrassingly large amount of game hours aside, this game fulfills everything my inner child wished for: - Countless color combinations - Fun riding competitions - Trails to explore - Foraging for ingredients for crafting - Wild horses to catch - Horses care system including illnesses, grooming, and feeding - Breeding system and the absolute cutest foal mechanics you'll ever see And that's maybe just half of it! I can now look at my inner child and say, "we made it, kid." But wait, there's more! I've been a member of the discord for around a year and a half, and I cannot express how impressed I am at the level of dedication the developer has to her community. From countless community suggestions she has implemented far too many ideas to name, and thanks to the thriving community and the developer's willingness to be open to ideas, I truly believe Rivershine exceeded what the original plan was. This game has such a wonderful and deep tie to it's fans, and it's going to be so cool that in years to come, I can look back and smile as I'm playing and say, "oh yeah, I suggested that." How. Cool. Is. That?! Do your inner child a favor. Do your current children a favor. Do your friends who love horses a favor. Buy this game. Support this dev. There's none else like it. <3

I think this is hands-down the best horse game there is on the market. Possibly the end of the really long horse-game-curse and so many scams and horse game drama. It´s Different from other horse games, despite being about the same thing as most of them. Yes, a lot of games focus on training/caring for your horse - entering competitions - upgrading your ranch - breeding better horses - repeat. But it is so much more than that as well. It´s cozy, it´s stylized, and it´s especially perfect if you´re like me and you enjoy repetitive tasks. I don´t deviate much from what I consider my "dailies" in the game, but i know I have a lot to explore and discover when I decide I want to! Also, bonus points for having a fast graphics setting that runs well even on my ancient laptop and looks lovely. It is almost guaranteed that your device WILL run this game well.
