- 🐎✉️ Message from the Devs ✉️🐎 - 18 April 2024
Hey there, Riders! We're excited to share some news about the journey of Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch. First and foremost, a huge shoutout to all of you in the Horse Tales community for your unwavering support and patience. It's been a wild ride, and your enthusiasm has been the beacon guiding us through. As many of you know, we released new and exciting DLCs for Horse Tales back in October, aimed at wrapping up our adventure with Horse Tales. Yet, when some bumps on the road surfaced for our Nintendo Switch players, like saved game issues and unexpected game crashes, we knew we had more work to do. Our commitment to delivering the best experience wouldn't allow us to bow out just yet. In partnership with Microids, we dove back in, dedicating ourselves to one more update to smooth out those rough spots. Our devs poured their hearts and souls into diagnosing and fixing the key issue…

- 🔧 Horse Tales patch 1.1.4 is live 🔧 - 7 March 2023
Hello Riders, A new patch for Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch is now available! Here is what you can expect: Major Improvements Several improvements to performance optimization and resolution scaling. What this means for players is reduced ‘blurriness’ and fewer hitches/lags when moving through the world. This will be most noticeable on Nintendo Switch, but may improve the experience on other platforms as well. Extended Camera Settings: You now have several more options to customize your camera behavior Locked Camera Mode means the camera stays behind horse and rider and you have to press the camera toggle button (Middle Mouse Button or Period on PC) to move the camera freely. (This is a new, simplified mode!) Free Camera Mode means that you can always move the camera with your mouse. The camera toggle button then simply re-centers the camera behind you. (This is how it’s been working…
- An Update from the Dev Team - 15 December 2022
Hi everyone, Thank you for all your feedback, bug reports, suggestions, and reviews. We’re thrilled to see so many of you enjoying the game, sharing your horses and screenshots and more.

- 🔧 Horse Tales patch 1.1.3 is live 🔧 - 6 December 2022
Hello Riders, A new patch for Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch is now available! Here is what you can expect: Fixed a critical bug where the game would stop saving eventually. With the patch, your autosave should work as usual again if it previously stopped saving. Unfortunately, we cannot restore completely corrupted save files, but the patch will greatly reduce the chance of save game corruption in the future. The save game changes also fix decoration slots within building slots (including obstacles in riding hall and riding space). These were previously not saved correctly. It’s possible that some decorations need to be rebuilt after the patch, but they will be saved correctly from now on. Fixed a bug where gene test results would not be cleared properly when switching horses, and some horses would show the wrong genes as a result. Fixed gene testing for leg markings. Note that unfo…

- Horse girls rejoice: an open world horse game that isn't RDR2 - 24 August 2022
If you were a child in the '90s, then you'll remember the horse games. Like other pet simulations, the gameplay was often minimal, but you could brush the horses and click-and-drag little bows into their manes. At least one I remember let you add sparkles, though that truly might just be the early '00s all blending together. (Remember butterfly clips?).. Read more.
