Celebrate the Year of the Horse with Steam Horse Fest discounts

Steam Horse Fest is running through February 23, offering discounts on a range of games about horses and related animals. You can browse the full lineup on Steam, and one highlighted pick is My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, which is 55% off. Red Dead Redemption 2 appears in the event but remains at full price.

Though not solely a horse game, it lets players form close bonds with equine companions: you can track and tame wild horses, buy ones from stables, braid manes, brush and feed them, and watch dirt or snow affect their appearance. The game also features mechanics like drifting with mounts.

For a dose of nostalgia, Petz Horsez 2 is on sale for $2 (or 85p in the UK), while Umamusume: Pretty Derby remains free-to-play and proved popular with the team last year. If you want something upcoming, The Legend of Khiimori launches in early access on March 3; it casts you as a 13th-century Mongolian delivery person and has been described as basically horse Death Stranding.
