Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hobbyhorsing Simulator at none against Equestrian the Game's 10. Hobbyhorsing Simulator also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Equestrian the Game's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 11) and rating (4.0 vs 3.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Equestrian the Game holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Equestrian the Game has 11K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Equestrian the Game's written reviews are positive against 69% of Hobbyhorsing Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Equestrian the Game ships an update fortnightly, Hobbyhorsing Simulator daily. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
