Our take on Horse Riding Deluxe 2
The focus on horse ownership gives the game a narrow identity: much of the activity revolves around care, training, equipment, and stable resources. That specialization leaves less room for broader adventure systems outside the horse-centered routine.
What is Horse Riding Deluxe 2?
Horse Riding Deluxe 2 centers on buying, taming, training, feeding, grooming, healing, and customizing horses.
The game includes 18 horses, which can be purchased from dealers or found in the wild. Training covers agility, top speed, and acceleration, with effects on horse behavior. Players can equip saddles, saddlecloths, reins, and hair colors, and obtain 7 dogs as pets. An open world contains quests, resources, HRD coins, wild horses, and racetracks. Completing tasks provides rewards and gold, while 24 racetracks offer medals. Stable expansion allows more horses to be kept, but feeding them requires sufficient resources.
