14 itemsAbout the Game
Your very own barn
You’ve finally saved up the money to get a plot of land with a run-down shack of a stable – It’s not much but it’s yours. Time for you and your trusted mare to start training, so you can participate in tournaments in the nearby town and grow your ramshackle yard into the stud farm of your dreams!
Take Care of your Horse(s)
Groom and comb your horses in crisp, satisfying care interactions that are grounded in realism without being tedious. Use your brush and hoofpick to avoid saddle sores and abscesses, and treat scrapes and injuries appropriately when they happen.
Train, Compete, Explore
Complete training exercises and build up your horse’s strength and confidence to qualify for competitions and earn prize money. Take your horses out on trail rides for a change of pace and scenery – you get to enjoy beautiful vistas and you never know what you might find along the way!
Breed & Evolve
Breed adorable foals to improve your stock over time. Carefully plan your stallion and mare pairings to bring out the best in your offspring, whether you’re going for looks or stats.
Upgrade & Manage
Save up for upgrading your buildings to make space for more horses and better meeting their needs. Hire staff to stay on top of care and training for a growing herd.
Learn about the game and real horses
Horses of Hoofprint Bay is made by three horse girls who care a lot about these animals. While not every aspect of the game is completely realistic, we strive to be accurate and educational in every way that doesn’t compromise gameplay fun. An in-game library contains a lot of relevant equestrian knowledge about in-game and real life horses!
Customize and Modify
Edit the appearance of your character and tack items with built-in color picking tools, or even modify the game files to your liking to create custom color palettes. Whether you prefer sticking to a curated selection of available customization items and color combos, or want to start digging into easily accessible textures and text files to alter the appearance of horses and characters is entirely up to you.
