[h2]Hey Riders! 🐎💥[/h2]

[h3]We need your SLANG!

If you’ve already tried out Hobby Horse (maybe during the Demo 👀), you probably noticed that when you clear obstacles, you get a little message like “Success” or “Fail” depending on how you did.

BUT.. we wanna make it way more fun 😏[/h3]



Right now you might’ve seen stuff like:
🔥 Success → Slay, You’re the GOAT
💀 Fail → Womp womp, Yikes

[h3]And honestly? You guys deserve more you energy ⚡[/h3]


ℹ️ Here’s the idea:
We want to bring in expressions from all around the world - the kind of words and slang YOU actually use every day.
So whether you absolutely nailed that jump or totally faceplanted… the game should react in a way that feels real (and maybe a little funny 😂).

💬 That’s why we need YOUR help!



😏Here’s how to send us your ideas:

Drop a comment and tell us:
1. Where you’re from
2. What word/phrase should replace “Success“ or “Fail“ in your language/style

For Example:
1. English
2. “Success“ or “Fail“ in my language/style:
a) Success - Slay!
b) Fail - Yikes


[h3]Make it fun. Make it chaotic. Make it iconic.[/h3]

[h3]Hey Hobby Horse Riders! 🐴✨[/h3]

In our last devlog, we revealed something BIG - a brand-new Western map that many of you already got a sneak peek at. Dusty streets, wooden buildings, that wild west vibe.. yeah, we saw your reactions and we loved them! 🌵🔥

But we didn’t stop there. Behind the scenes, we’re still working on tons of new obstacles, accessories, customization options for your trusty steeds and other cool additions. There’s a lot coming your way..

Today though, we’re focusing on something specific.
Let’s talk about the new obstacles 👀👇

🧲 The Horseshoe Jump

First up - a massive horseshoe obstacle!
Perfectly matching the western theme, this one is all about style and precision. It’s not just a regular jump - it’s a statement piece right in the middle of the dusty street. The shape makes it visually unique and timing your jump just right feels incredibly satisfying. It’s giving main character energy 🤠✨

Land it clean and you’ll feel like you just won the championship rodeo.



👢 Rotating Boot Obstacle
Now this one? Absolute chaos (in the best way possible).
We’ve added a rotating obstacle with giant boots swinging around! Yes. BOOTS.
You’ll need to watch the rhythm, wait for the perfect moment and dash through like a pro. It’s dynamic, it’s unpredictable and it’s going to test your reflexes big time. Miss the timing and.. well.. let’s just say those boots don’t mess around 😅

It adds movement and energy to the course, making every run feel more intense and alive.



✋ The Giant Spinning Hand
And finally - the obstacle nobody expected.
A huge rotating hand swinging across the path!
This one is pure fun. It feels dramatic, slightly ridiculous (in a good way) and totally memorable. The moment you see it moving across the canyon pass, you know things just got serious.
You’ll need sharp focus, quick reactions and maybe a little bit of courage. This obstacle is designed to keep you on your toes and make every run more exciting 💥



We’re super excited about how these obstacles bring more personality and movement to the Western map. They make the courses feel less static and way more interactive - and honestly? They just look really cool. 😎

And remember, this is only part of what’s coming. More customization, more creative elements and more surprises are in development right now.

[h3]Let us know what you think! Which obstacle would you try first? 👀[/h3]
