This update introduces a new breed, a fun new way to experience Free Roam, and the Star Club exclusive store. We also prepare to celebrate our 5th Anniversary!

No rider, no tack, just horses living in the moment.

In this update, we introduce a brand new way to experience the beauty of your horses in Free Roam. The new ‘remove rider’ setting removes jockey and tack, offering you a pure, unobstructed view of your horse’s natural elegance.

Riderless Free Roam is perfect for those moments you want to connect with your horses and appreciate their unique patterns and coats as if they were wild and untamed. It’s also an ideal setting for capturing breathtaking photos of your favorite horses in picturesque environments. Whether you’re galloping through the meadows of the Swiss Alps, or leaping over hurdles and fences back at the ranch, you’ll see your horses in a whole new light. Get ready to explore and create unforgettable memories with your equine companions.

Meet the American Quarter Horse.

We’re also very excited to announce the arrival of the American Quarter Horse, a celebrated icon in the equine world with a rich history dating back to colonial America. Renowned for its versatility and incredible speed over short distances, this particular breed has made a name for itself in both racing and ranching. Boasting a +5 Acceleration and +2 Speed bonus the American Quarter Horse aims to excel in events that demand quick bursts of power and speed. 

In recognition of the American Quarterhorse’s Western roots, we’ve also released a new Western-themed customization set pictured below.

Prepare to saddle up for the ‘Quarter Mile Quest’ where you can earn this exceptional breed as a reward. This event kicks off right after our ‘Five Years Young’ 5th Anniversary event and includes a free Grade 2 American Quarter Horse and horse stall as your first reward, so don’t miss out!
