Welcome to the latest update notes for Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition! Update 1.33 has arrived, bringing new missions, fresh story content, and a brand-new breed to the ranch.

This update expands on cross country and steeplechase with new goals to chase and even more compelling story to unfold.  Whether you’re here for the story or simply to welcome a new horse to your ranch, there’s plenty to discover.

New Horse Breed

Introducing, for the very first time on the Rival Stars Ranch, The Anglo-Arab!

Originating in France, the Anglo-Arab blends the endurance and spirit of the Arabian with the speed and strength of the Thoroughbred. This balance makes it a natural all-rounder, well-suited for all types of events and rides, from flat racing to cross-country, show jumping and beyond.

Breed Bonus:
+5 Agility
+2 Sprint Energy

Alongside this new breed comes the Braided Mane, an elegant new trait you can add to your horses in the Horse Creator or pass down through breeding to create generations of gorgeous champions. This trait has a 40% chance of appearing on Anglo Arabs, and a 10% chance of appearing on any other horse.

New Story and Missions

Two storylines are expanding in this update, bringing new depth to both Cross Country and Steeplechase.

Cross Country continues with four additional chapters, featuring fresh missions and the return of Richard, whose presence adds new rivalries and opportunities to the competition.

Steeplechase is getting its first set of story missions. The opening three chapters follow a journey shaped by family legacy and the arrival of Alex, a new character who sparks rivalries as the tournament approaches.

Together, these chapters introduce new challenges, new faces, and the next stage of your racing story.
