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?

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?

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?

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?

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.

I am looking for horse games for switch. i am an equestrian, so I am looking for either realistic equestrian gameplay, or just horse bonding mechanics and exploration.

• right now I have:
• breath of the wild
• tears of the kingdom
• equestrian training
• phar lap horse racing
• windstorm start of a great friendship
• spirit lucky‘s big adventure (I do not play anymore lol)
• about to get farming simulator 26

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?

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?

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

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.

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.

Are there any games/websites that are similar to Lioden and Flight rising but for horses.
