Best Horse Riding Game for PC

Lucinda Green's Equestrian Challenge is the best horse game for PC. You can disagree with me, but I will stand by this statement. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had playing this game. The graphics are great and the attention to detail will make horse lovers so happy. This is a 3 day event, also know as eventing, horse game which means there is dressage, cross country, and show jumping. Each component is challenging but not so hard it is frustrating. Of course your also get to customize your horses including breed, coat color, and markings. Your avatar is also fully customizable from their gender to hair color. As you move through the game you get to unlock new 2 star, 3 star, and 4 star competitions. You will also have access to new tack, accessories, riding gear and more by winning competitions.

My Horse & Me is a really fun horse PC game. In the game you get to train, groom, and compete with your horse along with playing mini games. The graphics in the game are really good and the customizations for your horse and rider avatar are extensive. Unlike some horse games that have missions or horse care tasks, such as cleaning the stall, that take you away from training and competing this game has short tasks and no missions so you can spend more time with your horse. As you continue to train and win show jumping competitions you get to move up the levels and unlock new show jumping competitions around the world. The only thing that isn't great about this game is that there is only show jumping instead of the usually 3 day event style that has show jumping, cross country, and dressage.

Imagine: Champion Rider, also known as Petz Horse Club, is a great horse game. There is a Wii version of this game that from what I understand is pretty similar with just some slight changes. In the game, you are on a beautiful remote island with wild horses. Unfortunately, the wild horses are disappearing because they can't breed. It is up to you to figure out what is wrong with the horses and save the horses. Throughout the game, you get to interact with wild horses and foals while following a fun storyline. You do get to train the horses you tame as well and can even enter competitions.

This is another horse game for PC that I absolutely love! I played Let's Ride: Riding Star so much growing up and I just remember thinking how it was so amazing. The game is focused around you training and competing in eventing which is made up of cross country, show jumping, and dressage, although there is a trail riding option. You get three horses in the game, one for each discipline, and you get to customize each horse and their tack. Of course, you also get to customize your rider avatar. As you win horse shows you unlock fun new tack, accessories, riding apparel, and of course higher level courses and tests. Plus, it says there is a multiplayer feature, although I will say I had plenty of fun playing the game on my own.

This game can be hard to find for the PC now, but there is a version for the Wii available. Not only do you get to dress up your pony in the game but you also get to explore the trails. When you aren't on the trails you can take your pony out for a race or to jump some fences. Of course you will have to take care of your pony and make sure they stay happy and healthy.

Champion Dreams: First to Ride This game is hard to find (as with most PC games these days) but if you find it be ready for a challenge. I don't want to give too much away but this game has a storyline with a final goal and there are different quests you have to complete to reach the goal. I often had to do quests a few times to complete them and the final one was really challenging.

Time to Ride: Saddles and Stables is an older computer game that takes you through the experience of moving to a farm, getting your own horse, and experiencing what comes along with owning a horse of your own. Throughout the game you will be solving a mystery while also training and taking care of your horse.

Let's Ride: Friends Forever features several elements that make this a very fun game. When starting the game you get to customize your own foal that you raise. As you raise your foal you can accessorize them and enter them in beauty contests. Once your foal grows up you can train them and go for rides. You of course get to change your riders clothes, doctor your horses' wounds, groom your horse, along with the other typical daily tasks.

Saddle Up With Pippa Funnell has a main storyline you follow throughout the game. As you move throughout the game you can complete additional tasks outside the main storyline as well. You can get up to 10 horses in the game to ride, train, compete with, and care of although just beware that the more horses you have the more you have to take care of.

Rider's World: I Want to Ride is the previous horse riding game mentioned above. This game is available on Steam now and while it isn't the fanciest game it allows you to choose a horse, ride, and care for your horse. Throughout the game you have an 'instructor' to teach you how to muck out the stall, groom your horse, pick out the hooves, tack up, and ride. The graphics may not be the best as it is an older game but it is still fun.

In Barbie: Riding Club you get to pick your horse out and then embark on fun adventures and minigames. The minigames vary from matching games to sorting goods among other games. When you are not doing minigames you can complete different adventures and explore the trails. Honestly for as old the game is the graphics are pretty good much better than some of the older games out there.
