Horses of Hoofprint Bay is a hand-drawn 2D stable-building sim from Thogli Studios, published by The Mane Quest. It launched on 4 Nov 2026 for Windows and Linux on Steam. The US price I recorded on 6 Nov 2026 was $26.99, on sale at $22.94 through 11 Nov 2026. A free demo is still listed.

Start here

There is no browser build I can embed. The game is a Unity desktop title sold on Steam, and the demo is a separate Steam app. Use the Steam button for the store page, or open Where to Play for the legitimate purchase path.

People also spell the name Hoofprint Bay, hoof print bay, or horse shoe bay. Those queries are this same game. It is not the unrelated horror game Horses, and it is not a coat-color glossary.

What the public record shows

The store lists a single-player game, 24 languages, and no macOS, phone, or console build. Valve marks Steam Deck Playable. At 06:44 UTC on 6 Nov 2026 the store showed 787 reviews and 99 percent positive. I keep that review count dated because it moves.

Supporter Pack is a $6.99 art extra and does not change the sim. The soundtrack is still listed as coming soon, with no price. Later pages cover platforms, the demo save split, traits, the 20-stall cap, and the Apple Tree route from the February demo.
