Do you know any online horse games?

Do you know any free online horse games where you can adopt a virtual horse and play, feed, and train it and do racing and showjumping.Do you know any online horse games?
First of all, my apologies that this is such a long answer, but it does need some explaining.



My recommendation is that you give Second Life a try.



One of the many things you can do in Second Life is to buy and ride a horse. Since the recent introduction of what is called 'sculptie prims' the horses in SL have become much more reaistic.



You can buy almost any breed of horse you can think of with a choice of American or English saddle - even a side saddle if you wish. You can even have a carriage.



Optional extras include stables and various stable tools - for example, the brushes allow you to brush your horse. The SL AKK Ranch includes 2 large sims (regions) with areas to ride though as well as two show jumping areas. You do not have to restrict yourself to the ranch though. There are other areas suitable for riding. If you have a love of all things Victorian, then the Caledon areas are great fun to ride through in SL and the owners of that area actively ecourage people with Victorian-dressed avatars to ride in Caledon.



If medieval or fantasy is more your thing, there are regions where you can dress your avatar in suitable clothes and ride there. I even saw a jousting arena in one such area.

Controlling the horse is simple - it's a variation of the SL walk/run/jump system, and I explain that later.



It's free to join and play Second Life. However, the horses - like many things in SecondLife - are not free. They cost around L$2000 (that's about $8 US or æ‹¢4 UK). However, you can obtain a demo horse for free at the ranch, so you do get the chance to see if you like SL horse riding before you part with your money. The Demo horse is good for three tries. In other words, you sit on the horse and until you take it off, that is one use of the horse. After the third use you cannot use it again and you cannot get another demo horse.



The horses are sold at a place called the AKK Ranch. It's not hard to find. When you join SL, go through orientation and then help island. After that you go to a welcome area. From this point you are all alone in the SL world. So click on the search button at the bottom of the screen and look in 'Places'. Search for the following places and pick up lots of freebies.



Freebie Island

Free Dove

NCI Plaza



There are lots of other places that have freebies, but you will need to speak to someone like me who knows where they all are.



When you are ready, do a search for AKK Ranch and teleport there. It's important to know one thing about the demos. You get a notecard that tells you to drag the horse from your inventory to the ground. DON'T!! It takes up one of your free uses of the horse. Instead, right click on the horse in your inventory and select 'wear'. I know it sounds silly, but that's how it works.



Use the direction keys to move about.

Press CTR %26amp; R together to change to gallop. Do this again to return to trot.

Tap the Page Up key to jump.



That's all there is to it.



You can buy a variety of riding clothes in Second Life. On the face of it, SL can appear to be a bit expensive to play, but if you know where to look it can be very cheap. If you do want to be able to spend money in SL, you will need to add your credit card details to your account page, but you only buy as much SL money as you need to. To begin with, there is a cap on how much money you can purchase each week. That's to stop you from going crazy early on and ending up with a huge real life credit card bill. You will quickly give yourself an SL allowance and stick to it.



You will also make friends with other horse enthusiasts in Second Life. Two of my best friends in SL are horse owners in real life - one of them competing in shows (and people say us SL players don't have a real life? ha!).



If you decide to give SL a look and need help with anything, send me an Instant Message in Second Life. My avatar name is River Kyomoon.



To join SL, go to this site.

http://www.secondlife.com/



When you join, ignore all options to pay premium membership. Right now, it's not something you need and you may never need it. For now, don't even add your credit card details. Have a good look around Second Life and see if it's for you. If it isn't, you've not lost anything and you can still come back at any time and just hang out from time to time. If you do like it, add your card details so you can buy in-world money.



I hope this helps you and you find something you enjoy in SL. Don't hessitate to contact me in the game world. I often help new players find their feet in SL.
