Exciting news awaits in the latest update!
Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled ride as we introduce the Arabian and Selle Français horse breeds onto the tracks of Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition. A whole stable of surprises awaits you, so let's jump in!
Meet the new breeds
Arabian
Renowned for its beauty, intelligence, and endurance, the Arabian stands at 15.1 hands, boasting a distinctive face that adds to its majestic allure. Perfectly suited for any cross-country endeavour, this breed navigates diverse terrain easily and elegantly, reflecting centuries of selective breeding for agility and resilience.
Selle Français
Originating from France, the Selle Français combines strength, athleticism, and a willingness to please its rider, making it the ultimate sport horse. Standing at 16 hands tall, these majestic creatures possess powerful hindquarters, enabling them to excel at jumping over obstacles with unparalleled prowess. With their blend of majesty and patience, Selle Français horses are esteemed champions in the field, making them an ideal choice for Steeplechase.
These stunning new breeds are now available in-game, eagerly awaiting a new companion. They can be found within the Market, breeding screen Stud List, and the Horse Creator mode.
With the introduction of these new breeds, we've implemented some adjustments to highlight the
power and individuality of each horse. We refer to these as breed bonuses.
Breed Bonuses
A breed bonus is the additional stats a horse receives at birth based on its breed. Keeping that in mind, let’s explore what makes each breed unique.
Arabian:
The Arabian's breed stat bonus of +5 to Sprint Energy and +2 to Agility makes it a formidable competitor in endurance challenges and Cross-Country events,
Selle Français:
With a bonus breed stat of +5 in Jump and +2 in Acceleration, they excel in Steeplechase competitions, showcasing their agility and speed with finesse.
Thoroughbred:
With a bonus breed stat of +5 in Acceleration and +2 in Sprint, they shine in Flat Racing competitions, demonstrating their speed and mastery in dominating the track.
Cross breeding
Currently, breeding between different horse breeds results in a 50/50 chance of obtaining either breed. Patterns, colours, and dilution may be inherited from both breeds, creating distinctive and unique combinations.
You can also pass on your legacy (see previous update notes) to a different breed allowing you to have a legacy of champion horses that span across disciplines.
What's on the horizon?
We've got some neat updates in the pipeline and we're excited to share them with you. These include tweaks to free roam, bringing in fresh patterns, and unveiling a completely new breed. Stay tuned as we'll have more details about these upcoming changes to share with you soon.
That wraps up this update, folks. Thanks for hanging out! Don't forget to stay tuned to the community for the latest news and competitions. Until next time, happy racing/riding, everyone!
