I just want a high quality horse game. Is that so much to ask? :( Apparently so.
And I mean, specifically focused on the horses, not an adventure game with unusually well done "horses as cars" like RDR2 or Zelda BOTW. A "girly" horse game, like one where you take care of and breed horses and participate in horse jumping or whatever, or one where you ride a horse around a forest and it has an actual personality and acts like an animal and not just a mode of transportation (Shadow of the Colossus is the one game I can remember feeling anywhere close to this, and even that was very minimal).
It's maddening because the minute someone makes one it'll sell like hotcakes - there are so many horse enthusiasts dismayed by the lack of quality horse games just waiting in the wings - aaaaand yet here we are. Sigh.
Have you seen https://www.themanequest.com/? It's aimed at people like you trying to find a high-quality horse game. Tons of reviews of horse games on that site. I'm not even into horses but the website captivated me anyways.
I'm not sure if you're bringing this up because of the new Sims 4 expansion, but I thought Sims 3 Pets did a pretty good job with the horses and comes close to what you're describing, but I'm guessing you want something more in line with a traditional RPG.
