You’ve Seen The Coats, Now Meet The Breed!

The Appaloosa has finally arrived in Rival Stars Horse Racing! With its distinctive spotted coats, rich history, and friendly nature, this breed has long been admired by equestrians worldwide. Known for their gentle temperament and versatility, Appaloosas are just as comfortable on the race track as they are in the show ring or on the trails.

Rival Stars Horse Racing has featured many Appaloosa-style coats over the years, but now, we’re making it official, the Appaloosa is here as a full-fledged breed!

Here’s a neat detail for equestrian enthusiasts! Many Appaloosas in Rival Stars Horse Racing will have mottling as a unique feature exclusive to this breed! Not every coat will have it, but for those that do, it’s an extra touch of authenticity we hope you’ll enjoy.

The Appaloosa is already a showstopper—but it’s got acceleration to match! With the Flash Ignite Trait it boasts superior acceleration across all game modes when at least 80% Appaloosa or purebred. That puts it on par with the American Quarter Horse, making it a great pick for players wanting to expand their racing lineup.

If you’re ready to welcome an Appaloosa to your stable, the wait won’t be long! Limited Time Offers start March 3rd, with even more chances to earn them in the Appaloosa Palooza event kicking off March 10th. Don’t miss your chance to collect this breed!
