Personally, I find it deeply inspiring to keep seeing these examples of horse-loving gamers creating their own fun within an industry that so often ignores them. When active communities exist that create their very own Quadrille mechanics in games that only partially accomodate them, how many more people would be interested in something like this if it was an officially supported feature of a game?

It might be a funny scene, movie quote, animation, meme or a mashup of multiple sources. There is no proper online dressage game, no game that actively features a mechanic as the one that people are patching together for themselves in these cases. You can take any video, trim the best part, combine with other videos, add soundtrack. In both cases, users work within the limitations of their virtual worlds by applying their drive and creativity. In the case of SSO, the horses and animations are not user-generated and the dressage animation variety a bit more limited, but the spirit is very much the same: getting together with friends online to create something cool with virtual horses. Find an example of a dressage routine with almost 100k views here. What you see here is 8 players riding a coordinated routine in real time, with every participant steering their horses and switching to the proper animations in agreed-upon timing, using the interface in the screenshot on the right.Ī similar trend – of people gathering in virtual space to perform Quadrille routines – exists in the Star Stable Online community. This is what it can look like when a group of motivated Second Life equestrians gets practicing: Thanks to active SL content producers and TMQ community members Teager and Monstaar, I get the occasional insight into this fascinating niche. Second Life horse model seller Teeglepet offers a wide variety of breeds, textures, mane and tail styles, along with a myriad of custom animations design to let users play out the horse fantasy of their choice. In Second Life, content is primarily user-generated. In case this is your first time hearing of it: Second Life is a social online simulation, a virtual world where you can do just about anything.
Second Life, the sandboxiest of sandboxes, is no exception to this rule. From organizing non-violent trail ride events in Red Dead Redemption 2, to the elaborate modding community around The Sims 3: Pets and its horses, to ARK: Survival Evolved and its dedicated horse-servers, many horse-gaming enthusiasts have learned to make content where there is none. Plenty of games to spend your hard-earned cash on this week. Since I’ve begun to research horse games and related communities for this website, I keep finding a common theme: Where the market does not serve horse-hungry audiences, passionate players try to find their own fun wherever they can make it. 38 AU Shippin' Out November 3-7: Gears of War 2.
