"I wish i had someone else's minecraft server to join, i love exploring and taming horses and breeding them so i can have every color as fast as possible, but i don't want to do the other stuff :/" this dev, hearing my wish through the aether: i can do you one better actually

I adore this. It's amazing to me how a super simple mechanic with a bit of cute art and minimal 'story' can just ooze "these people know and love horses" out of every pore while so many bigger horse games completely fall short in that aspect. I LOVE to see stuff like this grow from the community 🙏💖

Give a tiny adorable horse game made by people from the TMQ community a try today ❤❤❤ miaumigames.itch.io/roly-pony

✨NEWS ARTICLE ✨ Preview: Horses are coming to Disney Dreamlight Valley and I got an Exclusive First Look at them during Gamescom www.themanequest.com/blog/2025/9/...

I got a ton of search traffic to my Dreamlight Valley Horse Expansion announcement article but disney related search queries are quite low in the site's search keywords for the relevant period. Anyone see what I'm missing here? 🤔

I love that the Disney town sim is getting horses but oof boy do I wish modern disney horse stylization were anything but this

A client of mine is looking for a skilled animator and modeller with horse-knowledge. I would LOVE to find someone for them through the horse game community. Please take a look 👇

This year‘s devcom talks probably aren‘t available online yet so why not check out mine from last year? 😏 If you‘ve ever wondered what’s up with this whole horse game business, these 20min are the best overview I can give you 👌 (Reposts are much appreciated!)

FUN UPDATE: A friend talked to the person working at Steam who I pitched this to last year and THEY CONFIRMED IT. So yes, Steam Horse Fest is officially happening because of me 😌

I have no interest in Umamusume, but I am disappointed after finally seeing what the "the horse racing gacha game" people kept vaguely talking about was thanks to Steam flash banging me with it, they aren't centaurs. I still wouldn't play it, but I feel it would at least be 100% better with centaurs

if your video game does not allow me to buy a horse and name it, I don't want it

Yippee another Barbie horse game! I used to play a lot of Barbie horse adventure. I can barely remember any of it though 😔

Lol hell yeah let's go

I just got the best reply from someone on reddit 😭😭😭

Made a video about Equinox: Homecoming yesterday and it's doing splendidly on tiktok and insta reels 💪💪

An interview with Swiss #horsegame expert Alice Ruppert (in German, paywalled). #horses #TheManeQuest #SwissGames #gamesCHweiz #gamedev #gamedesign #games www.games.ch/swissgames/i... @malicedafirenze.bsky.social @themanequest.com @sgdach.bsky.social @igda-ch.bsky.social @swissgamehub.bsky.social

Already can’t wait to read @themanequest.com’s review of this

Putting it on my calendar 🐴

There's several new videos up on the TMQ Tiktok today if you're inclined to go have a look 🥰

it's funny I did absolutely not expect this article to be popular, I thought at this point it's only relevant for devs making horse games but nope, turns out it made a bigger spike in my site traffic than even the Witcher 4 horse reveal two months ago ^^

I choose to believe that I caused this to happen until anyone from Steam explicitly says otherwise

Important news

NEWS ARTICLE: "Horse Fest" – Steam Announces Horse-Themed Game Sale for February 2026 ✨✨ www.themanequest.com/blog/2025/8/...

Steam is having a racing game sale, and because the only racing game I own is Umamusume, I'm getting the funniest reccomendations ever. Like, "Hey bud, you've tried the anime girl version, you want the real, hardcore, full-bore shit? You want the uncut goods?"

Also, shout out to my favorite niche video game resource, @themanequest.com, run by an equestrian video game developer/consultant who runs what is by far the best website around for games that feature horses. Absolute legend. www.themanequest.com

oh neat! A deep dive into the Horse Club Adventures series and its commercial success (translated version linked in replies)! 💖

good news the horse game website has a tiktok account now

I spontaneously set up a Tiktok account for The Mane Quest this week! Any likes/comments/follows/reposts to help me get started are hugely appreciated 🙏💖 www.tiktok.com/@themanequest

love the numbers this did thank you aftermath

I love this thank you

umamusume is, by many measures, already one of the most popular horse games ever. except… it’s not really about horses. this has left gaming’s premiere horse consultant and advocate, @malicedafirenze.bsky.social, in a bind

Aesir also announced their gamescom presence today!!! We'll have a cool horse game booth in the public area y'all!!!! I'll be at the booth on and off, so if you wanna meet up to talk about Khiimori, please let me know, or let my colleagues know when you schedule something 🙏🙏

gamedevs everywhere like "it's so hard to market games, nobody cares about the games I make" meanwhile:

I have my issues with modern day Zelda games (I'm a Twilight Princess girlie), but I'll immediately agree that the horses are stellar

✨NEW ARTICLE ✨ “I Hope the Horse Game Genre will Continue to Grow” – Reflecting on Five Years of Making The Ranch of Rivershine with Éloïse Laroche www.themanequest.com/blog/2025/7/...

I have finally started playing The Ranch of Rivershine - I haven't touched it since the first Demo in early 2023 and am stoked to jump into the full version now 💖

I'll point out once again that this is not how horses sleep, see linked posts for better examples. This is how a dog curls up to rest and lays their head down. I severely doubt that reference footage of horses was used for this. bsky.app/profile/mali...

They've released 20min of new Ghost of Yotei gameplay so naturally I went and made a 1min horse-only version for myself to overanalyse here you go
