Player Reviews

Equine Ranch is the most realistic horse game I've ever come across, and it's always improving. I've made some of the best friends a person could ask for on this game, I'm so greatful for that. The Commons here on ER is the best! It's a place where we can gather and talk about the game, and most of us consider this our favorite game. It's also about being able to come here and talk about our real horses, real animals, our other hobbies, and even our troubles in our real lives. We can get advice, tips, help, education, someone to share our excitement with us, someone to cry with us, and so many other things I can't even begin to list them all...oh, and a little discipline. In the game we can learn patience, compassion, money management, good manners, genetics, breeding strategy, and tons of other useful information right here in one place. ER is not just a game, it's an entire learning experience. It just doesn't get any better than this. I consider the ER members my second family and I'm so proud and honored to be able to say that.

The Original Automated Genetics Based Horse Simulation

Actual Game Horse-- refresh to see more!

Other horse games claim to be realistic. We actually are.

Equine-Ranch is a horse game that offers you the opportunity to participate in the horse hobby virtually. E-R is a leader in complexity, challenge, and realism. Unlike most horse games where players can dominate simply by having either extensive time or money to invest, reaching the top on E-R takes thinking and skill.

E-R horses are designed to function like real horses. They possess simulated DNA that is inherited from their parents, making them all highly individual. These inherited genetics determine their potential and it takes training, grooming, and exercise to reach it. They also have the simulated ability to learn from their training sessions.

E-R is an open concept sandbox environment. Enjoy the freedom to set your own goals and pursue them in your own fashion. While we provide the environment, you must provide the goals you wish to achieve, and the ambition, motivation, and desire to do so.

Also, unlike many other horse games that stifle player experience, E-R does not force you into playing a certain way, nor will it lead you to the "correct answer." Instead, you will face the same choices you would in real life-- and as in real life, experience the negative and positive outcomes of each choice.

This learn-as-you-go game will challenge like no other. Breed, raise, train, buy, sell, and compete virtual horses in our virtual world with thousands of other players from around the globe.
