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.

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 conformation

There 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.
