Astride

Astride is a horse-riding game with breeding, customization, multiplayer, show jumping and dressage features. You can create and ride horses, explore the environment with other players, and take part in jumping and dressage activities.

Breed and customize horses

The breeding prototype lets you choose a mare and stallion to produce foals that inherit genetic traits from both parents. The genetics system combines breed characteristics, body and head shape, and coat color. Foals mature day by day into adult horses that you can ride, train and breed, allowing you to build a lineage and pedigree over generations.

The Horse Creator offers options for breeds, height, head shape, mane, tail and forelock styles, base coat colors, face and leg markings, and white patterns. Genetic options include tobiano, splash, cream, grey and silver, among others; genes influence the resulting coat.

Ride with others

Astride supports playing alone or in multiplayer. You can explore the environment with friends or strangers, host private servers protected by passcodes, or join public servers to meet players from around the world.

Jumping and dressage

The show jumping prototype lets you test how strides affect a horse's jumping and practice setting up an ideal approach. Choose from training courses and timed courses, compete with friends for the best times, or try cross-country jumps around the countryside and in rough terrain.

The dressage prototype offers several tests, with scores based on how closely you follow each program. Follow the path and change gaits at the right moments while performing movements such as the canter pirouette, passage and piaffe.
