Horse Isle: The Secret Land of Horses

Summary
Horse Isle 1: The Secret Land of Horses was created in 2006 by Joe Durbin, with the aim of creating a horse game geared towards young girls. The game went live on 3 May 2007, after extensive beta-testing undertaken by the Durbins and volunteers.

The main features of the game included being able to catch wild horses, undertake quests given by non-playable characters to earn money, compete in a number of competitions such as showjumping and racing, and chat with friends using the chat feature. Subscribed players[vague] could also own and build ranches, which increased the number of horses they could own, as well as using features such as wells and training pens to water and train all their horses simultaneously.

In 2015, the game experienced a number of DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks. In 2020, following the end of support for Adobe Flash Player in most browsers and its subsequent demise, Horse Isle 1 became the victim of a number of hacks, with the game's data became highly compromised and eventually unplayable, beginning in June and taking place periodically until October of that year, at which point the game was declared unsustainable and was labeled "end-of-life".
