Care screen from the official gallery, for readers comparing this sim with other horse games

This game is a hand-drawn stable sim. It is not the horror game Horses. Freezing and crashing show up as a search suggestion, and I could not find a public cluster of crash reports on Steam discussions, reviews, or the subreddit as of 6 Nov 2026. I will not invent a settings fix for a problem I cannot cite.

A horse that feels too wild is the Explosive state on the health page, from too little work, cleared by lunging. The full game has no day limit. The February demo save does not carry over, and the October demo save does.

Questions

Is Horses of Hoofprint Bay the horror game Horses?

No. This is a cozy stable sim by Thogli Studios on Steam.

Why does my horse feel too wild?

Players use that phrase for the Explosive state, which is low exercise. See the health page.

The game keeps freezing. What do I change?

I did not find a public pattern of freezes to document. I will not invent troubleshooting steps.

Is it Early Access?

No. The full release came out on 4 Nov 2026.

Are there redeem codes?

This is a paid single-player game. I found no code campaign in the public announcements I checked.
