Breed, Raise, and Race Horses in Pocket Horse: Racing Champions, Out Now

Pocket Horse: Racing Champions is a horse management and competition game from Foxie Ventures. Horse games are arguably the studio’s speciality. Based in Adelaide, Australia, their lineup already includes other horse games, such as Horse Riding Tales, Pony Tales, and Star Equestrian.

Horses are not just race machines in Pocket Horse: Racing Champions

There’s breeding, bloodlines, horse care, inherited traits, stable expansion, and generational progression. The game’s story begins in Oakmeer, a town that was once known for its legendary Friesian horses and elite riders.

But that reputation eventually crumbled after a betrayal shattered the region’s dominance. So, you step into that situation with a modest ranch and a single horse. It’s part of taking on the challenge of proving that the region still has what it takes to produce champions.

You can create your ideal horse by mixing different coat patterns, face markings, mane styles, tail styles, and even individual leg socks. Horses come with their own personalities, moods, and traits, and their development is connected directly to how they’re treated.

Your tasks include feeding treats, preparing longer-lasting feed mixes, grooming, washing, and spending time with the animals. The system rewards careful breeding choices, as future generations become increasingly capable competitors.

Speaking of competition, it’s split across four different riding disciplines in Pocket Horse: Racing Champions. You can take part in Barrel Racing, Dressage, Flat Racing, and Show Jumping. Horse racing also evaluates a horse’s speed, stamina, and overall training.

Pocket Horse: Racing Champions is now available on the Google Play Store. If you’re a hippophile, do give the game a spin. Additional championships, trophies, traits, and horses become available through continued play.

And if you’re not into racing or an equine enthusiast, for that matter, you have other options, too. Check out this other new game on Android. It’s Netflix’s Arcade-Style Puzzle Tomb of the Mask.
