I need help finding this horse game!

Hello everyone! I’m searching for a flash horse game i played around 2010-2015.

The game was focused on horse riding competitions, i remember the animation being really good (but i was like 10 so i could be wrong haha). The scenes i remember are the following:

One dressage competition where you had to press the right arrow button for the horse to move correctly and to win the game. This competition was viewed from the side of the horse but it was a 3d game.

One cross country competition where i remember autumn leaves and rain. You competed against someone else, was probably a bot. Also 3d.

You could also kind of customize your horse and the character. The customization area was in a stable and there was a hay bale.

From what i remember there were three versions of the game on the page, dressage, cross country and maybe show jumping but i have no memory of the show jumping version.

I have searched everywhere for this game and i just can’t find it anywhere. Might be a fever dream?

I recreated Tales of Rein Ravine mechanics and now I’m unsure what to do

Help me. I refuse to let Tales of Rein Ravine die because it has so much potential and some of the most realistic controls I’ve seen.
I managed to recreate the mechanics from scratch, but I’m still wondering how ethical what I’m doing really is.
My project isn’t a 1:1 copy, only the core mechanics are similar. I have the frame what the story is, what features can be build into it, basically what I hoped this game will be. I don’t want backlash or people thinking I’m stealing Maia’s work, because that’s not the case.
I honestly don’t know what to do. Nothing happened with the game since 2024 but what if Maia comes back and continues development? I would be hated for this? ToRR should be left as a masterpiece of horse games and leave it as a good memory? Why we can’t have this control mechanics in other horse games?
I’m an axious person, I can’t handle risky situations and I have no idea what’s the right decision here.
What are your opinions? Should I continue, or stop putting effort into this?

🐴 I finally made a new trailer that actually shows the chaotic energy of Horse Runner DX 🦄

The old trailer made the game look much slower than it actually is, so I completely redid it to better show the fast arcade gameplay, the growing horse herd chaos and that addictive flow feeling of Horse Runner DX.

I also recently released an update based on player feedback with improved visual clarity, smoother herd movement, a new friends leaderboard and several bug fixes.

Online horse games

So I know of star stables. I don’t really want a game that is that online but like a game that you ride alone and train alone or with friends and can compete in real competition online against real people. I miss my horse so bad but something free world. Anyone got any suggestions?

A Noble Steed Dev Update

Just a little update on how A Noble Steed is shaping up as I head towards launching the demo! Thank you all for your support and interest in this little project so far, especially as it's really starting to come together now.

- Added boss fight mechanics and created the first boss for the demo.

- Made some adjustments to the basic Zombie design and redid their animations

- Started adding new types of enemies

- Named NPC's are growing in number, each with unique dialogue to give you pointers or lore etc as well as their own schedules

- Horses are now born as foals and grow up over a few in-game days

- Horses now breed "naturally" if a male and female are roaming together in the breeding pasture. When breeding is successful, a notification to birth the foal will appear.

- Mares (female horses) now have a breeding cooldown of a few days

- Steeds now have name tags and icons to show their tier and gender instead of the UI popup, these can be turned on and off as desired.

- Made some tweaks to the galloping animation

-Smooth camera follow, look-ahead based on speed, depth of field, and more!

- Massive performance improvements to handle the large amount of enemies and NPC's on the map (my ancient laptop doesn't let me get away with anything!)

- More polishing - UI adjustments, quality of life additions/improvements, and little bug fixes

- I've now got at least six original music compositions (by myself) ready for the soundtrack

"[horse name] will dream of..."

I recently started a new game after about a year-long break to try the official controller support (which is so much nicer than keyboard and mouse) so maybe this was added with an update, but I never saw it in the first game I played after full release. I wish I got a screenshot, but what happens is that sometimes, when you pet a horse a caption will appear that says "[horse name] will dream of ___ tonight...."

I've gotten two variations of this with two different horses, one was "open skies" and the other said "cherry blossoms." It only seems to happen with newly-caught wild horses before they're fully tamed. I'm just curious if it means anything, or if it's just flavor text?

If you lead Agro to water she will drink!

I stumbled across this neat detail of Agro walking up to drink from a little oasis in the desert. I never got to play the original release. Was this always in the game or something they added in the remaster?

LOOKING FOR: Ellen Whitaker's Horse Life 2 (PC)

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone remembered this game and also had any kind of way to download the full version? If so, please give me a link or file or I'll even gladly negotiate to receive the disc itself if at all possible. I remember always wanting to play this game, and never ever had the chance to beyond the demo.

Would anyone be interested in this filly in the game HI3? Info down below

Hello! My user is Skys in the game HI3 and I breed enduro’s.

So, as I was looking across this foal drop, I came upon this breath-taking varnish 0.7 year old filly. Her stats were not enduro worthy, but I did not have the heart to sell her. I wasn’t able to get her birth stats in a picture, but her speed at birth was 20.6, her KG was 55, and her SD was 30. The stats shown are her current ones at the age of 0.7.

If anyone is interested in offering, please consider that she will come INFERTILE and will be prefixed and certified with my brand, ‘ ‘ Skys. ‘ ‘

Please dm or comment if you would like to offer or are interested. I am on vacation and cannot provide the photos from birth at the moment, however if you would like proof of that, I can dm them over when I return if that is an issue. Thank you! :)

How are we feeling about the Palia horses so far?

I'm personally thinking they are horribly animated, stiff and kind of... off. Like a less fun version of the old Star Stable horses - weird but not in a good way.

I think the best part about them is the hard stop animation, since it feels cartoony and silly in a way that fits Palia at least. What are you guys thinking so far?

Recommend Switch Games?

So I recently just got a Nintendo switch and I’m looking for horse racing games. There are three titles I have my eye on. These being Phar Lap, Winning Post 10, and Derby Stallion. Phar Lap being the only of these with an English version. What do you guys recommend either from above or other?

ISO: SWEM server

Hiya! Titles as says but a tad bit picky! I’m not much of a survival player as I’m definitely more of a builder, so wanting something chill that allows me to swap between survival and creative (mostly in creative), or, survival on peaceful is okay as well!
TIA

Introducing Metahoof & Looking for Alpha Testers

Hey folks!

I've been working on a horse game called Metahoof and just found this comm, honestly so glad it exists haha

We're at the alpha stage and looking for a few people to try it out and tell us what they think. No pressure, just play around with it and let us know what feels good, what doesn't, what's missing. Horse game fans tend to have strong opinions and that's exactly what we need right now.

If that sounds like fun to you, comment below or DM me and I'll share the Discord. Happy to answer questions about the game too!

---

Edit: Genuinely appreciate the honest feedback, means a lot. We get it. Not the right fit for this commn right now, and that's okay. - We might be back with a different direction, and we're not off it - for upcoming weeks I will focus on make the game more attractive and focus in creating a fun game above anything, for that thanks!

So much bugs in Legend of Khiimori :(

Today was the day I gave the game the very first try. I know it's still in an early stage, but many people told me they already had many hours in the game and enjoy it.

Maybe Im just not pleased with luck, but I have so much game issues it's not enjoyable. I get stuck a lot for one til two minutes while my horse is doing a moonwalk. I had to wait til the animation finish, then the game totally freeze for a minute and then it goes back to normal. This happend several times.

I also had to reset my characters position two times, because I hard stuck in a bridge.

The game has moments where it starts to flicker. I tried different graphic settings, but there is still this flickering over the complete screen from time to time.

But now, I had to stop playing, because the horse for the mountains doesn't appear in the menu. It tells me to change my horse, but the only horse I can select is my starter horse. I restarted the game, but it still doesnt appear. I will give this game half a year or a full year more development time.

Riding Club Championships - 2008 CD Commercial Release Archive + 2010 Horse Star

Hi all.
Previously, the 2007 Beta CD of Riding Club Championships was archived on archive.org

Well, I'd like to share my finding with everyone: the 2008 commercial release version. I looked through the files and there unfortunately was not cross country or dressage, I did find a "Module Merger" which is not present in the beta CD originally archived around 2023-2024.
I uploaded it to my proton drive, here's the iso for those who are interested: https://drive.proton.me/urls/DVEZ5YQYZ0#4kc8m0Hcjec0
I would also like to clarify for everyone unfamiliar - the 2007 and 2008 versions of Riding Club Championships are not the same game as what recently shut down on Steam. The CD game was made with Gamebryo engine and Quazal middleware, while the remaster on Steam was made with Unity. They are 2 different games.

Additionally, I'd like to share Horse Star - the 2010 MMO that never left beta. The TMQ wiki shares information about it and screenshots from it running in a broken state, but I don't like the files being gatekept from the public. So here they are: https://drive.proton.me/urls/VP7APEF8HG#Ow8td8R4rdF1
Just like mentioned in the wiki, 4 xml and txt files are missing. They're asset lists the game calls for. The game runs in Unity and if you look through the game in something like IDA you could find out what assets the game calls for and recreate the list.
If anyone is experienced, or knows someone who would want to touch either of these games, the files are now public and free to use by anyone.
