• See your horses' personalities come to life with new animations.
• Coming Soon: Limited-Time Events featuring new outfits, tack sets and more!
• Bug fixes and improvements.
While clearly targeted at a younger audience, 'Barbie™ Horse Ride & Rescue' is surprisingly competent as a horse-sim game. The horse animations are fluid and realistic, which is often a weak point in mobile games of this genre. The open world is bright and inviting, filled with enough collectibles and side-quests to keep kids engaged for hours.
The grooming mini-games are tactile and rewarding, and I love that the game emphasizes the 'rescue' aspect rather than just racing. It teaches empathy and care in a way that feels like fun, not a chore. The customization options are also quite extensive, which we know is a big draw for Barbie fans. It’s a safe, polished, and wholesome game that provides a great sense of freedom and adventure.
Open-world horse riding and exploration
Interactive horse care and grooming mini-games
Extensive customization for Barbie and her horses
Multiple horse breeds to rescue and collect
Engaging story-based missions
Mount your horse and follow the map markers to the rescue zone. Use the 'Scout' ability to find the hidden horse. Once found, gently lead it back to the stable to begin the rehabilitation process.
Interact with the horses in your stable to increase their trust. Use the grooming tools in the mini-games to make them shine. Higher trust levels unlock better performance during trail rides and missions.
Take it to the stable to groom, feed, and care for it.
I downloaded this game about a week ago and it is super fun! I love the different game modes, all the different tack, and that we can ride around everywhere! This is nothing against the game, but here are a couple suggestions of things that I would love to see in the game that would make it absolutely way more fun! 1. It would be cool to be able to hop off your horse and walk around. 2. It would be really fun if we could use shampoo, conditioner, and wash our horse down. 3. Having more clothing options for the writers would be cool, especially ones of different colors and different style scarves. 4. Having different mane and tail styles as in different lengths or braids or have different hairstyles for your horses. 5. This is something small, but having some different and varied soundtracks would be really cool because then the soundtracks are unique to the game and remind you of the game. 6. Also, another thing that a lot of games don’t implement but a lot of us don’t wanna pay for stuff in the game so maybe incorporating a system so you can overtime we can save up a different sort of in-game credit to buy things that cost money. Maybe if we watch enough ads or do certain things we can then maybe purchase something that cost money normally. But overall, it’s a super fun game and I hope to see some cool updates! In the story is really fun and I look forward to seeing the progression of the storyline💕💕
A very good job making this game. I love how you can go get horses and I already have so much horses in the tables playing this for two days I think has been amazing but sometimes I’m just confused. Like I don’t know what to click on. It doesn’t show it sometimes but still it is a very good game and I really really really love it. Hope you read this and please read it. I just want you to fix your problem. I wish there was always a arrow to point you out find it out so you can actually know where it is and where to find it That’ll be really good if you just do it i’m not forcing you to do it but please just do it and if you do it, I’m gonna be so happy and I’ll always give you a five stars but not on all the games iPlay sometimes those games gonna get really annoying and I just don’t like it but this game is probably my favorite. Thank you for reading bye.
this is a pretty solid horse game. brings back some of the nostalgia of playing barbie horse adventures. it’s also better than some current console offerings for horse games such as barbie horse trails. however, i am not a fan of micro transactions in these games or the fact that you get a limited amount of energy. I would prefer paying a set one time fee to play instead. I do wish there were more character customization and horse/tack customization. the options available now are decent however. the mini games can get repetitive. i wish there were side quests and the open world was more interactive. i do think the open world aspect is very cool. there have been some bugs that i’ve noticed. sometimes when i am on the screen to “bond” with my horse, i am no longer able to interact with any buttons. and then if i close the app, it doesn’t save the xp that i earned. same when i rehome a horse, the game just freezes and i can’t interact with the game anymore. i also noticed it doesn’t save when i discover certain fast travel points so i have to keep rediscovering them. i think there was also one instance i bought some tack and it didn’t remember that i bought it, so it didn’t add it to my inventory when i opened up my app next time.
This brings back the old barbie games we used to play and its safe for kids because theres no way to contact other people just like the old games, thats a wonderful concept you brought back to keep kids safe. I wish Roblox didnt exist and there were only games like this to play. I would like to see a broader character customization and also it doesnt let me brush my horse right now but I really dont have any problems at all with this, every thing you have to pay extra for is cheap so its worth it over all. I’m very impressed honestly. Please don’t make the prices go up on this game because i promise you will make money off my subscription and 20 cents a day 😭 i love you God bless you all I’m so thankful I have something to play that isnt a huge money hole
I pre-downloaded this as soon as I seen it! At first I thought it would be kinda childish but I’m 15 almost 16 and I’ve been playing non stop!!! I love it! And to parents who are worried it’ll be too difficult for younger kids, do NOT worry! It’s a very simple game they might struggle with dialogue, but when it comes to actually playing it’s super easy and fun! They have a game pass but it’s not a game that REQUIRES the game pass or limits the storyline! I only want to suggest a few things! Which I’ve put in the survey. I would LOVE to see more breeds, breeding, and foals! Also maybe some more English riding tack and/or different styles in general! Overall this game is amazing and is definitely a favorite!
It was fun until the “trade for kiwi 20 times” or trade for something else. That takes SO long unless you use your stars, but that eventually costs real life money. I’ve had so many trade 15 or 20 times for a mission. It’s getting ridiculous. The skill up 40 times is annoying too, but much more doable than riding around in a circle for hours trying to find all the items for a trade. For example for the kiwi you need 12 pottery for 1 kiwi. Times that by 20 because I have to trade 20 times and that’s 240 pieces of pottery..I’m about to stop the subscription because even with it’s help it’s ridiculous.. idk I’m sorry if it’s an unreasonable complaint… Btw the take a picture of a brown tail deer only works in a certain location. There is a brown tail deer in the cowpoke area but it won’t count so you have to take a picture of the brown tailed deer in wild falls instead for the daily mission
Ok, this game is the on my top 10! And I get a lot of top games! I love this, especially the mystery part. However on my second time of logging in, the loading screen froze! I logged out, deleted games photos, and apps, but no luck. I checked my storage and it was perfectly fine, I even tried deleting the games itself! (I redownloaded it don’t worry although I didn’t wanna lose my progress) I know the devs are busy with their other game (Rival Stars Horse Racing, another game I love) But please! I love this game just a bit better than your other one and want to keep playing!
So when I first played this game I was OBSESSED. I played everyday for hours. The horses are adorable, love the coats and the fact that you can unlock more as you go. The story was fun and kept me engaged BUT after about a week of playing and progressing further into the story the longer I had to wait for horses to finish up being quarantined. I think it got to about 2 days of waiting before I could get another horse which made me wait multiple days before I could progress at all in the story and that caused me to lose interest very very quick. I also wasn’t a fan of eventually having to do 20 events to progress either, those took forever sometimes; especially the fashion ones since you had to wait for the results. Even having the gamepass I still had to wait a long time. Games that do this in my option lose my interest very very fast. Overall this is a very cute game, amazing animation and art style, engaging story and pretty fun overall but I do wish they wouldn’t make it so long to progress.
