rating wild horse's valley!

wild horse's valley is a browser game where you're the lead stallion of a herd! you lead your horses through a beautiful world and react to the random events that occur!

there's weather conditions! there's little animals you can trade acorns with! there's little items that appear in the scenery that you can click on! when i was playing around easter season there were so many easter eggs full of goodies, and when i played around april fool's day there were minifridges laying around stocked with treats!

once an hour, you can send your mares out to forage for food, and once an in-game day, you can have a practice fight with each of your stallions to raise your battle stats! you can then go into defense mode and try to fight off other player's lead stallions for rewards, but with the risk of a herd member being stolen! if there's another player in defense mode, you can try to battle them to get a new herd member! there's even a way to form alliances with other leadstallions to fight foes together! the game currently has over 155 coat colors to collect, and you can see your progress in the collections tab! there's pony and item exchange pages! there's forums! there's rankings with prizes! there's even quests and storylines to progress through!

it looks like there is horse breeding but i don't have it unlocked yet!

wild horse's valley is made and run by only two people!! and one of them did all of the art??? that's mindblowing to me!! there's so much art in this game, and it's all gorgeous!!!

here's their page of what the game offers! it really is ad-free and not pay to win, although you can pay for the luxury of not clicking through every single one of your herdmembers to send them foraging and things like that. on the rankings page it says there are some active players with over 300 horses in their herds, so i think that's fair!

it's a really sweet game! my one complaint is that there aren't enough active players for some of the multiplayer functions to work. i've never seen an alliance open or a herd in defense mode other than me, so i can't take part in those fights. that will probably fix itself in time, though! the art in this game is really really lovely and makes me so happy, and no matter how many months i forget about the game, my herd is still there when i log back in. they also added rainbow horses for the month of june!

i'm rating wild horse's valley 4.5 stars out of 5!

★★★★✬

All Legs 38W9508 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: One doesn’t have to look hard to see the love between a dam and her foal. This colt is likely no more than a day or so old. He is still a bit wobbly but horses stand within minutes of birth. They have to in order to nurse, and they must nurse in order to survive. They usually begin trying to run within a day and this little guy is no exception. You can see from his stature, he is all legs. The legs of horses at birth are proportionately large compared to adults. The reasons for this are clear. #WildHorses

Weird Horsegirl Ganondorf fun fact of today is that in Ocarina of Time Ganondorf rides without a bridle! Even in the concept art his horse lacks any bit or reigns (as does Epona, and every other horse).

What it mainly means is that the N64 didn't have the power to mess with an unnecessary complex item to render -- but what it could be interpreted to mean for the sake of fandom fun is that the horses are raised and trained to be ridden bridleless.

Not to be up my own headcanons about horses being a big thing in Gerudo Valley and Malon's mom being Gerudo and there being a reason that Gan's horse is specified as a pure black Gerudo Stallion because other Gerudo horses don't look like that but -- have you seen the dressings on the other horses?

All of them, even Zelda's horse, have a call to Gerudo patterning. Except for Epona, who was only able to be approached, touched, and ridden by Link and presumably Malon herself.

It's no secret that the Gerudo are more or less pulled from African and Arabic cultures, but fun fact about Arabian horses, they used to be given as prized gifts to royalty and important political figures.

So if they are inspired by Arabian horse history --

Although the specific area of the Arabian Peninsula where the breed originated can’t be pinpointed, it is widely accepted that around 2500 B.C., the Bedouin people were responsible for developing the desert horses that became the ancestors of the Arabian horse. The nomads’ keen horse sense and meticulous attention to proper care and breeding created an animal that could withstand the harsh environment of the desert, surviving extreme heat and cold with little water and the food they shared with their handlers. A life of travel also required horses with great lung capacity, endurance and stamina. (x)

It's very possible that all of the horses in OoT have ancestry in Gerudo Valley!
