Games & More
PC horse games have a special place in my heart โ growing up I played so many of them on CD and they were some of the most fun horse games I have ever played. Many of these games are harder to find now, but some are available on Steam or Amazon and still well worth tracking down.
Some PC horse games also have versions for Nintendo DS, Wii, or PlayStation โ the storylines can vary across platforms so it is worth checking before you buy. Browse all 19 PC horse games below, or use the filters to find exactly what you are looking for.

A challenging PC horse game with a storyline and a final goal to work towards. Different quests must be completed to reach the end and the final quest is genuinely difficult โ a great pick for players who enjoy a real challenge rather than just a casual ride.

Also known as Pippa Funnell 4: Secrets of the Ranch, this is a challenging but fun horse game with an interactive storyline. You play as Emma, a vet accepted into a prestigious French riding academy โ completing missions, raising foals, and competing in show jumping, dressage, and cross country. Your decisions change the ending, which makes it uniquely replayable. Still available as a Steam download.

Also known as Petz Horse Club, this game is set on a beautiful remote island where the wild horses are disappearing because they cannot breed. It is up to you to figure out what is wrong and save them. You interact with wild horses and foals, follow an engaging storyline, tame and train horses, and can even enter competitions.

A lovely PC horse game where you start by customising your own foal that you raise from birth. As your foal grows you can accessorise them and enter beauty contests, then train them and go for rides once they are grown. Includes all the typical daily care tasks plus rider customisation.

One of my all-time favourite PC horse games. Focused on training and competing in eventing โ cross country, show jumping, and dressage โ with three horses to customise, one per discipline. As you win shows you unlock new tack, accessories, riding apparel, and higher level courses. There is also a multiplayer feature. A must-play for any horse-crazy girl.

One of the few PC horse games available on Steam and one of the only ones that focuses on western riding. Unlike most horse games where you might ride in a western saddle but compete in English disciplines, this one actually lets you compete in barrel racing. You can also explore the surrounding areas when you are not competing or caring for your horse.

Easily in my top five for best PC horse games ever. The graphics are not the most realistic but this game more than makes up for it in depth โ breed, raise, and train horses, enter competitions, care for your horses, and build up your farm along the way. If you ever come across it, buy it immediately.

A really fun PC horse game with excellent graphics and extensive customisation for both horse and rider. Train, groom, and compete in show jumping while playing mini games. Short care tasks mean you spend more time with your horse rather than cleaning stalls. As you train and win competitions you move up the levels and unlock new venues around the world.

A classic game based on the original Spirit film โ you play as Spirit the horse rather than a rider, completing quests, mini-games, and races. It can be hard to find now so you may need to check eBay or secondhand marketplaces. Very different from the newer Spirit: Lucky's Big Adventure game where you play as a rider.

A PC horse game with stable management, horse care, and show jumping. Customise your horses and stable, take care of your horses' daily needs, and compete in jumping events as you build up your equestrian career.

Another entry in the Time to Ride series โ care for your horses, manage your stable, and compete. A good choice if you enjoy the combination of stable management and show jumping gameplay in the same game.

A mystery-style horse adventure game featuring Barbie โ ride across the ranch, solve a mystery, and explore the environment on horseback. A fun pick for younger players who enjoy Barbie and want a more adventure-focused horse game with a story to follow.

A classic Barbie horse game for PC โ join Barbie at the riding club, care for horses, ride the trails, and enjoy the equestrian lifestyle. One of the earlier PC horse games and a lovely nostalgic pick for horse-crazy girls who love Barbie.

A 3D riding academy horse game with show jumping at its core. Train at the academy, care for your horse, and work your way up through the competitions. The 3D format gives it a more immersive feel than some of the older 2D PC horse games.

Based on the Dreamer film, this PC horse game lets you follow the story of a young girl and her injured racehorse as they work towards an unlikely comeback. A great pick for players who love horse films and want a game with a strong emotional storyline at its heart.

A competition-focused horse game featuring real eventer Lucinda Green. Train across dressage, show jumping, and cross country disciplines and compete at international venues. A more serious equestrian game for players who want authentic competition gameplay โ available on Steam.

A competition-focused PC horse game covering multiple equestrian disciplines. Care for and train your horse, then take on competitions across show jumping and dressage. A solid pick for players who want to focus on the riding and competing side of horse games.

A horse riding game that focuses on caring for and riding your horses across different environments. Available on Steam making it one of the more accessible PC horse games to get hold of today โ a good entry-level pick for players newer to PC horse games.

Featuring real-life event rider Pippa Funnell, this PC horse game covers the full range of equestrian disciplines โ show jumping, dressage, and cross country. Train under Pippa's guidance, care for your horses, and work your way through the competitions in this classic equestrian game.
Not sure which game to choose? Here are some recommendations based on what you enjoy most.
My Horse Farm is the standout pick if you love breeding, raising foals, and building up your own farm alongside the riding and competitions.
Petz: Horsez 2, Champion Dreams: First to Ride, Imagine: Champion Rider, and Let's Ride: Dreamer all have strong storylines woven into the gameplay.
Let's Ride: Riding Star, Lucinda Green's Equestrian Challenge, and Saddle Up with Pippa Funnell are the most competition-focused picks for players who want serious equestrian gameplay.
Let's Ride: Silver Buckle Stables is the only PC horse game on this page that focuses on western riding โ including barrel racing, which almost no other horse game offers.
Petz: Horsez 2, Let's Ride: Silver Buckle Stables, Lucinda Green's Equestrian Challenge, and Rider's World: I Want to Ride are all available as Steam downloads today.
Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride, Barbie: Riding Club, and Let's Ride: Friends Forever are all more accessible and well suited to younger horse-crazy girls.
