With an ever growing list of horse games being developed and released, there is a huge amount of choice available for you. But what is it that you can actually do in a horse game. We will try to cover some of the main aspects of horse games and what it is that people do when they play them.

One of the biggest and possibly the greatest attribute of horse games is the amount of personalisation available to you. From the name of the horse to creating your own breeds there are so many options that you can choose from. But many of the games go further, allowing you to add colours, equipment and special backgrounds to your beautiful horses. This level of detail is one of the biggest attractions for horse games.

Coming a close second is watching your own horse grow up. From a foal to the greatest stallion nursing and looking after your horse until they mature is a key feature to every horse themed game there is. And its what we play them for. To look after a horse and see it grow into a truly wonderful creature is amazing, and its one of the best things about these wonderful games. As well as watching them grow you can also train your horses, from making them race better to dressage there are many options for you to specialise your horse into.

There are also games that focus specifically on the breeding of horses, from using it in the background of a racing game to being the forefront of what you play. Choosing the right horses is an important part of it, but also making sure that your horse is fit and ready is another part of the process. In some of the games available you can cross breed to make up your very own special horses, or even create mythical and magical creatures such as unicorns and pegasus. Whether you are breeding true thoroughbreds or creating magic the breeding part of the game is much loved and a large part of the attraction for some players.

Once you have trained your horse, often there are means for you to take those skills and show them off. Often this includes running in racing games, and earning all those titles and trophies. There are some games purely dedicated to racing, and competing against the other players. These often include traveling the world and using special items or equipment to improve your racing skills. Some of the races are run live and have some amazing places for you to race in.

But its not just racing that horses can compete in, there are also dressage events and show jumping to take part in. There are some wonderful games out there where you can train a horse to leap higher, or to pull some amazing tricks in competitions. In many of these games the graphics are really incredible, and the horses are so realistic its hard to tell that you are in a game. Its moments like these that attract some people, and it is easy to understand why and well worth the time spent on your horses.

For some, the attraction is to manage a stable or an entire horse club. There are many different little things that need to be looked after surrounding horses, making sure they are fed or have the correct stabling. Medical treatments and vets are also needed as well as the paddocks and training spaces needed to bring a horse to tip top condition. All of these have to be managed and there are some games out there that give you the opportunity to do just that. From a small little stable to running a horse club with hundreds of members there is a huge amount of choice for you.

But its not only what you do with your horse that interests people, there is also the community of players that love horses and horse games as much as you. Whatever style of game it is that you play there will be a large and dedicated group of players that you can talk to, become friends with and just enjoy playing the games in a welcoming and warm atmosphere. From in game chat areas to dedicated forums and Facebook pages there will be a group of other people for you to get to know.

Whatever game you like to play and whichever of these aspects is the one that really attracts you to horse games, we hope that you enjoy what you play. There are many reasons for us all to enter into the world of horses and there are some great games out there for us to appreciate and have fun in.
