In Tobiano, horses aren’t born knowing how to be ridden. You start the training process by backing the horse, then work your way through dressage movements to unlock new levels of training. Just like in real life, horses are not always successful when learning new movements. Horses also have temperaments and fitness levels which will impact their ride ability. Horses can get stressed by high demands like new exercises or strenuous work. For now Tobiano is focused on dressage, but jumping and other disciplines are in progress and will be added later on.

Tobiano features a complex breeding system that includes personality traits, ten different color genes, and conformation traits. A mare’s nutrition needs and conformation will change throughout the pregnancy, which lasts almost a year in game. Refine your line by strategically selling horses and breed for more valuable horses.
Breed for color, temperament, and conformation
There are ten different color genes, and multiple phenotypes for each. There are literally billions of unique coats in the game. Also, grey horses get lighter with age!
You can’t make a horse faster or more agile with feed. In Tobiano, feed is made up of different nutrients found in the real world, like protein, energy, vitamins and minerals. A horse’s nutrient requirements depend on their workload, size, and life stage. You can grow some of your own feed at your farm to be more self-sufficient.
Horses live out together in paddocks
Tobiano has a tack shop where you can buy gear for horse and rider. All tack comes in different colors and styles, so there are endless combinations that can add to your horse’s individuality. Tack is unlocked with gold which can be earned by maintaining your login streak or doing daily quests. Unlocked tack can also be crafted in the workshop. Spare tack can be sold for an extra income or equipped on your horses.
The tacking up area in the horse profile lets you save an "outfit" for each individual horse
Tobiano is semi-open world with a town center, home stables, and trails to explore. You can take your horses out to train, do quests, or complete daily challenges.

This is an amazing game. Of course its got things that need to be tweaked- its made by a single developer doing their absolute best. They are active on the discord server, listening to the people. As for the technical aspect, it could use a lot of fine tuning and the graphics arent great (except for the horses, they are stunningly well done), but there is so, so much potential. Even in its limited stage right now Im having a ball playing around with the genetics and the training. As a horse girl, seeing proper training systems and dressage principles and movement is amazing. If you have any love for the sport, lifestyle or the animals, get the game. Support an actual passion project for all the 10 year olds in your heart that saw a horse for the first time and fell in love.
Ok... I like Tobiano, BUT... it could use some bug fixes... like head collection won't work sometimes, and the little show place when you click on a npc for quest and then try to get the quest info of the screen doesn't work after you press start quest. It is still in early access but I still think the bug fixes are most important that way people who play the game have a smoother gameplay. OH, also it could use some tutorials or at least information on how to do flying changes, tranverses, ect. I know the tutorial show you how to do a tranverse but i just added that for reference. (I know i clicked yes to recommend, but i don't really recommend it until its finished or has less bugs, it is a good game besides the bugs, and i hope they will be able to finish it though)
I LOVE IT. I love the foals
Lovely cozy game! Developer is a solo, trying to make it in the world, and listens to players. They actively update the game and chat in the discord with us.
Note: This game is early access. It is clearly not finished but it is a very thoughtful game. It was clearly made by someone who deeply knows horses, and I love that it focused on dressage. Pros: Lots of relatively deep horse knowledge/experience, somewhat new concept (dressage training focused), somewhat detailed dressage controls, lots of opportunities to make money so game did not feel "grind-y" Cons: Graphics can be hit or miss (lovely enviroments but flat trees, human figure isn't overly realistic), gameplay loop feels a bit repetative after several hours, no ability to show horses (would so love to have a way to go ride the dressage test vs clicking the "show" button), open world feels a bit flat of plot after a bit. Overall: Held my attention for 8 hours, I consider it worth the money and am excited to see how this game develops. Reminds me a bit of Tails of Rein Revine, which I was so sad became abandoned. If I could mix my favorite elements of that game (great realistic riding, fun lessons concept, graphics) with the more completeness of world and training goals and such of this game, it would be the perfect game in my opinion. Great job for a solo dev especially! Props!
Great game for a beta, developer is quick to fix any bugs, and cant wait to follow further development!
Loving this game so much! So excited for future updates! Always checking every day haha!
One of the Best Horse Games ever made. despite being in early accses im yet to find a game with so many different mechanics and such a good breeding system. the games storyline feels relatable and gives the player the chance to live the equestrian dream! the dev is so so nice and is always fixing things, interacting with the fanbase and taking on suggestions. i cant wait to see how the game progresses!
I started playing this yesterday i love the game still has a few problems but its still early days i cant wait to see whats to come with this game it can be glitchy sometimes especially when you start to walk to your horses field and when your riding
Really promising horse management game! I like how you can choose your pace and how immersed you are in riding. You can full on use this as a RRP game or a click management game. Great genetics. As someone who has played every horse game you can think of, Tobiano's foundation and style is unique and interesting. I normally get bored- which is usually no offense to a game, but I've logged nearly 9 hours on this one. With time for growth and little tweaks, this will be a GEM! All controls are easy to get the hang of, which I was worried about when I saw how many there were. I dabble in dressage and can say the movements and levels are really well done and I appreciate every second put into this game. Coming home to this after working with horses everyday, in bed and cozy, is a real treat. :D
