About The Ranch of Rivershine
The Ranch of Rivershine lets you build a personal ranch where you care for horses daily—feeding, brushing, and choosing stalls or pastures. You develop each horse’s speed, endurance, flexibility, and jump skills, guiding them from novice to champion.
Beyond horses, you can expand the farm with chickens, sheep, goats, crops, and fruit orchards, while exploring trails, attending festivals, and uncovering the town’s mystery. The game offers single‑player simulation with controller support and Steam Cloud saves.
