Breeding prototype - A brand-new feature has arrived, breeding is now available! Choose your mare and stallion to create unique foals that inherit genetic traits from both parents. The genetics system closely mirrors real life, blending breed characteristics, body and head shape, and color genetics to produce one-of-a-kind offspring.
Watch your foals grow day by day as they mature into adult horses you can ride, train, and continue to breed. Build your own lineage and develop a pedigree of exceptional horses over generations.
Horse customization - The Astride Horse Creator offers an array of horse genetic options for you to discover. Select different breeds, heights, head shapes, mane, tail, and forelock styles, base coat colors, face and leg markings, multiple white patterns and different genetics, such as tobiano, splash, cream, grey, silver, and more to customize your horse's appearance. Observe how the various genes influence the outcome of your horse's coat and bring your dream horse to life!
Multiplayer - Whether you prefer playing with friends or riding out alone, Astride offers a multiplayer feature. Explore the environment with your friends or complete strangers. You have the flexibility to host private servers with passcodes for intimate gatherings or join public servers to meet fellow players from around the world.
Show jumping prototype - The initial iteration of the show jumping system is now available for testing. Observe how strides impact the horse's jumping capabilities and master the art of creating the ideal lineup for jumping. Select between a variation of training courses and timed courses and compete against your friends for the best time scores! Try out the cross country jumps placed around the country-side and challenge yourself in rough terrain! Stay tuned for additional updates to the jumping prototype in the near future.
Dressage prototype - The dressage prototype is now available in Astride. Choose between a few different dressage tests and gain scores based on how well you can stick to the program. Follow the path and switch gaits at the perfect moment. Perform movements such as canter pirouette, passage, and piaffe! Dressage is still in development and will keep getting updates over time.

I would like to start this review with saying my laptop is not capable of running the game full graphics and everything however... the game even in the lowest settings is very pretty. The game contains only a few minor glitches as it is in Pre-alpha ( i think) which is really good for this stage of development. i love the jump animation and how you can actually go first-person compared to most horse games. I love the cozy vibe and the overall play style of the game. I am so excited to see how far this game comes until its full release.
horses move nicely and easy to ride, all horses free. horses has no mind, they stand where u left them (brain does not include) few courses to play over and over again with very little change.... that all content game has at moment. regred to buying it :(

i love the horses
Its a good game
This is actually sad for me because i love the game....for the potential. I dislike it because its just unfinished for being an early access 3 years ago. The movement for the character is slow but turning the character is slower. I feel it needs refinement and tuning. The horse animations while riding are GOLD but slow. I feel they are really realistic but slow and the riders post needs some tweaks as well. There's paddocks off the stalls for your horses to be able to go but when you close the door they don't move. Now i know horses can stand still but there's no "life" to it not even tail flicks. They don't run off into the field even. it has a realistic aspect but no life. Jumping is pretty easy when you get the hang of it but i feel it can be tweaked as well. i cant say its worth $25 when it feels unfinished and i do believe it will have a tendency to crash as it crashed before it even loaded me into gameplay after i created my horse. If they where to fix/finish the game i would buy and play again but as of right now 2026 i cannot recommend :(
♥♥♥♥♥
Good game in development. Would prefer the interaction key bind to change from F to E (more common in other games). The way to change gait should be improved also, pressing the numbers makes it really tricky. Maybe press Shift to increase pace or double tap W and S? Hopefully more breeds will be introduced in the future. I do like the breeding and hopefully will create a few nice horses :)
на данный момент игра еще не совсем доработана, вот на что я хотел бы обратить внимание: Horse Controls: For more comfortable interaction, it would be better to tie the horse controls to the camera view (i.e., the horse turns in the direction the camera is looking). -> Управление лошадью: для более удобного взаимодействия лучше привязать управление лошадью к обзору (т.е. лошадь поворачивает в ту сторону, куда смотрит камера). Cross-Country Jumping Bug: While doing cross-country jumping, I encountered a place where a stream/river is floating above the ground. -> Ошибка в кроссе на прыжках: во время прохождения конкурса по пересечённой местности я столкнулся с местом, где ручей находится над землёй (парит). Water Interaction: If water interaction (like the horse swimming) is not planned, it would be better to prevent the horse from entering the water. Right now, I can simply gallop my horse underwater. -> Взаимодействие с водой: если не планируется взаимодействие с водой (например, чтобы лошадь плавала), лучше запретить лошади заходить в воду. Сейчас я могу просто скакать на лошади под водой. Show Jumping Feedback: During show jumping quests, it's unclear what speed the horse should maintain to get the highest score. Also, the game doesn't always correctly register completing a lap with the required gait change. -> Информация о конкуре: во время выполнения заданий по конкуру непонятно, с какой скоростью должна двигаться лошадь, чтобы получить наивысший балл. Также игра не всегда корректно регистрирует прохождение круга с требуемой сменой походки. Progress & Quest Completion: The points for completing various tasks are not saved, so it's unclear which ones I have completed and which I haven't. Also, if you complete all the cross-country jumping tasks, the result resets and isn't marked as completed. -> Прогресс и завершение заданий: очки за выполнение различных заданий не сохраняются, поэтому непонятно, какие из них я выполнил, а какие нет. Кроме того, если выполнить все задания по прыжкам в кроссе, результат сбрасывается и не отмечается как выполненный. Map & UI Improvements: A map is needed to understand where I am, where the quests are, and where the stables are. Also, the quest board needs a more visual interface (for example, using an exclamation mark above the board, like in RPGs). -> Карта и улучшения интерфейса: нужна карта, чтобы понимать, где я нахожусь, где находятся задания и конюшни. Кроме того, доска заданий нуждается в более наглядном интерфейсе (например, использовать восклицательный знак над доской, как в RPG). Финальная фраза: I am ready for a more detailed discussion. -> Готов к более детальному обсуждению.
Leider kaum spielbar. Von den 3 Stunden, die ich "im Spiel verbracht habe" hat es 2 Stunden nur geladen. Von ungefähr 15 Versuchen bin überhaupt nur 1 Mal reingekommen. Das Spiel an sich hat Potenzial, steht aber noch ganz am Anfang. Man kann züchten und reiten. Das war's! Ich renne/reite also mit meinem Charakter durch die sehr hübsche Landschaft, kann aber weder mein Pferd versorgen, noch ist erklärt, wie ich es überhaupt absatteln kann. Neben dem Startpferd, das man sich selbst konfigurieren kann, bekommt man noch 2 random Pferde. Stute+Hengst. Währung habe ich im Single-Player Modus nicht gefunden. Man kann einfach kaufen. Die Grafik und die Bewegungen der Pferde sind schon nicht schlecht und erstaunlich realitätsnah. Man merkt, dass der Entwickler hier viel Mühe reingesteckt hat. Die Bewegungen des Charakers sind etwas schwerfällig und die Steuerung hakt noch. Vergisst man es, die rechte Maustaste gedrückt zu halten, um den Fokus nicht zu verlieren, läuft man mit WASD gerne mal gegen Wände. Auch F hängt beim Schließen der Türen noch des Öfteren. Man muss mehrfach drücken. Leider muss ich sagen, dass ich es bereue das Geld zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ausgegeben zu haben. So, wie es im Moment dasteht, würde ich das Spiel niemandem empfehlen. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass sich das noch ändert. An sich wäre das Ganze mit noch mehr Entwicklung nämlich was, was durchaus Spaß machen könnte und gerade für Reiter sind so kleine Goodies wie Galoppwechsel und verschiedene Tempi innerhalb der Gangarten schon was Feines. Es fehlt alles in allem aber noch an Inhalt und an einer wirklichen Herausforderung und damit sind nicht die kleinen Quests gemeint á la schließ mal den Springparcours ab und bekomme dafür ein Ausrüstungsteil. Das ist ein endlicher Zeitvertreib, der den Spieler nicht lange bei der Stange hält. Bis zum wirklichen Release (falls der denn jemals kommt) muss noch eine ganze Schippe draufgelegt werden, wenn das Spiel nicht untergehen soll.
