About Tobiano

EARLY ACCESS - THIS GAME IS IN DEVELOPMENT (see the attached early access info for more details)
Please join the Discord channel to give feedback or get help!

Tobiano is a sport horse simulator with realistic genetics, management, and riding. Shop for horses and train them through the levels to succeed at shows or sell for profit. Breed horses with unique personalities and conformation. Grow your facility to add stables, farm feed, or craft tack.  Without microtransactions or ads.
Note: This game comes in an offline and an online version, check the details at the bottom of this store page to be sure you get the right version for your preferences!

Training

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.Beginner horse

Breeding

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 conformationThere 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!

Feeding and management

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

Tack

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

Explore

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.

Not recommended Jun 24, 2026
I am all for paying for early access games; this one I regret paying for. It is not worth the price it has on it yet. It has a lot of potential, but needs significant improvement before it matches the price. Pretty disappointed.

This game is so wonderful for having just 1 person working on it. The gameplay is both advanced and nostalgic. I love that this isn't a pay to win type game and i actually have to put time into feeding and training my horses- ALSO funds! you cant just keep buying horses without taking feed and tack costs into consideration. Overall, I'm very excited to see where this game goes and I hope that more people end up buying it to further support the developer

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

For a game in EA, it is already really promising. The riding mechanics for dressage are very realistic - something not often seen in horse games. There is currently dressage, breeding and quests - all of which are interesting and progressive. The solo dev is active on discord and always willing to give help, accept feedback or fix any bugs that are reported. Looking forward to seeing where this game goes

This is such a cute farm management game that I have been yearning for- for years!! Thank you so much for filling this gap in the horse game market, developer. You've made my 6 year old dreams come true!
