In this update, we’re opening the gates to a brand new Free Roam location. Head past the show jumping arena and into the wilds.
Introducing Canyon Falls—
Welcome to Canyon Falls—A fresh new area with a whole new look. Think rugged cliffs, winding canyons, and stretches of wild bush dotted with sunlit cacti. Everything’s bathed in warm, golden light, giving it a laid-back, Western feel.
You can gallop through wide open valleys, snap some sunset shots of your horse, or just take it easy by the peaceful waterfall that inspired the name. There’s also a cosy barn and a quiet pasture tucked into the canyon—perfect for those everyday, down-to-earth moments.
There’s plenty to uncover, and we can’t wait to see the photos you capture in this beautiful new environment

Horse Creator - Quick buy
The horse-buying process in the Horse Creator just got a whole lot easier! We heard your feedback loud and clear in the last user survey (you guys rock!), so we've simplified things to make your life simpler.
Gone are the days of creating a horse, saving it to your collection, opening your collection, pressing "Show in Story Market", going to Story, going to Market, refreshing the market, and finally, purchasing your new equine friend. Phew, even typing that out was exhausting!
Now, the new and improved flow is as easy as pie. Simply create your horse, and press the "Buy" button on the same screen. Yes, you read that right - just one screen! And the best part? You can even see in real-time how much your new horse will cost.
