Hi Rival Stars Community,

Update 1.73 is rolling out, and in this update, we’re giving you a few more ways to bring out the best in your horses.

We’re adding three new Sooty horse coat colors, two new tail styles, and a collection of Show Jumping improvements shaped by the feedback you’ve been sharing with us.

So, let’s take a look at what’s coming!

New Sooty Coats to Collect

If you love coats with a little extra depth and drama, this one’s for you.

Sooty Coats bring rich, darker shades to your horses, adding a little extra depth to some already beautiful looks.

They’re a great option for players who love building standout stables, taking gorgeous photos, or discovering new color combinations through breeding!

‍

Events where you can claim Sooty Coat colors are coming soon, giving you another reason to keep an eye on the Event Hub and start planning which horses might suit these stunning new shades!

We’re adding two new tail styles, giving you even more ways to customize your favorite horses.

New Tail Styles:

• Hunter Braid
• Short Tail

‍

The Hunter Braid gives your horse a neat, stylish look, while the Short Tail offers something simple and clean. Both styles are great new options for players who love finding the perfect look.

These new looks will be available soon, so keep an eye on the Event Hub to see what’s coming up and start planning which horses you want to style first!

Show Jumping Fixes and Updates

Show Jumping has been added to the Hall of Fame, giving you a new way to see how your best horses stack up and to improve your scores.

That also gives us another good reason to keep making sure Show Jumping feels fair and fun to play. We’ve already made improvements based on your feedback, including a recent hotfix for the jump bar issues.

In this update, we’re continuing that work with more fixes and improvements to support Show Jumping events and make the mode easier to read while you play.

Thank you to everyone who has continued sharing feedback, screenshots, and reports as Show Jumping has grown. Your feedback helps us focus on the changes that matter most.

What’s Coming Up Next?

‍

We’re excited to share that Rival Stars Horse Racing is partnering with Oceana and Playing for the Planet in support of the annual Green Game Jam.

Together, we’ll be helping raise funding and awareness for ocean reefs, with all net proceeds donated to support their work protecting our environment.

This event will kick off over the next week, with special events and goodies for everyone to enjoy. We can’t wait to share more soon, and we hope you’ll join us as we come together for a great cause.

As always, thank you for your feedback, your support, and for continuing to make Rival Stars Horse Racing such a special community.

See you at the starting gates!
