Horse Haven: World Adventures/en

Summary
Collect and breed a huge variety of horses, give them cool accessories, and take part in competitions.

Game Design
The game has a cartoony and colourful art style, with horses being somewhat reminiscent of the ones from the Spirit Franchise. There are several different stable locations, all based on real-world locales.

Gameplay
The main objective is to breed horses and discover new breeds along the way. New breeds are unlocked by crossbreeding two already available ones. The offspring can come out the same breed as one of its parents, or as a whole new one. There is a lexicon that contains info on every breed and which components they require.

Horses can be male or female and have quality tiers from 1-5, each tier with its own specific coat. The higher tiers cannot simply be bred for, and require certificates that must be purchased with premium currency. Horses also have skill aptitudes, which depend partly on breed, partly on RNG.

Racing
Racing is a game of endurance. A gauge shows the horse's stamina, and the objective is to get as far as possible before stamina runs out. It plays as a sidescroller, with obstacles appearing that must be jumped over. If a jump fails and the horse crashes into a fence, it will take some stamina damage but otherwise continue. There are item pickups that give temporary invincibility, speed boosts, and minor stamina recovery.

Dressage
Dressage is a beauty contest with extra numbers. The horse performs a set of moves automatically as a small cutscene, while the player gets to take three photos. At the end of the competition, a single "best" picture must be chosen, and then the final score is calculated. Scores are affected by several things - moves performed, horse level, breed rarity, and accessories. Horses can learn new dressage abilities by training, but the repertoire is limited to a select few moves.

Trivia
The original loading screen for Horse Haven: World Adventures featured the game mascot riding a buckskin horse with a snip, who looked very similar to Spirit. This was eventually replaced with the current pinto, but you can still see remnants of the previous color in the forelock and surrounding forehead area of the horse.
