A relaxing horse riding game for Android

Ride a real-feeling horse

Walk, trot, canter and gallop with natural footfalls and weight. Hold GALLOP to ride, REIN to slow down and tap JUMP to leap. Rein in too hard at a gallop and your horse rears up.

Travellers and choices

Meet travellers by the road one at a time. Take them, turn them down or ask for a better fare. Rich, poor and stingy travellers each pay in their own way, and dropping someone halfway brings its own offers.

Jumps and ravines

Jump fences, stone walls, hay bales, woodpiles, carts and fallen trees, and leap ravines and broken bridges at full gallop, with slow-motion leaps.

Every season

Six regions from meadows and misty valleys to frost passes and dry canyons. Rain, snow, storms, fog and wind change how your horse rides, from dawn to starry nights.

Free Ride and cinema

Finish level 10 to unlock the endless trail through every region. Once a level, cinema mode lets your horse ride on its own for 30 seconds with the screen clear.

Look after your horse

Stamina runs low at a gallop and a tired horse gets hurt. It heals by itself, and the coins you earn buy speed, stamina, jump, strength and balance at the stable.
