Horses of Hoofprint Bay: a hand-drawn horse barn simulation

Horses of Hoofprint Bay is a single-player, hand-drawn 2D barn-building and horse care simulation from Thogli Studios, published by The Mane Quest. You start with a run-down stable and one mare, then groom, train, compete, breed foals, ride trails, hire staff and upgrade the yard. It released on Steam on 4 November 2026 as a full release, not Early Access.

The developers describe themselves as three horse lovers who aim to keep the game accurate and educational where that does not get in the way of fun. An in-game library collects equestrian background on both in-game and real horses, and the store page states the game was made without generative AI.
