Barbie Returns to the Saddle: "Horse Ride & Rescue" Announced for 2026
The "Barbie fever" of recent years is finding a new home in the equestrian world. New Zealand developer PikPok—the team behind Rival Stars Horse Racing—has partnered with Mattel to announce Barbie: Horse Ride & Rescue. While Barbie and ponies are childhood classics, this title is specifically designed as a detailed, relaxed experience for older teens and adults.
The Mystery of Moonrise Valley
Set in the picturesque Moonrise Valley, the story follows Barbie "Brooklyn" Roberts and Barbie "Malibu" Roberts as they investigate a local mystery: why are groups of horses suddenly roaming wild across the region?
As a player, you create your own custom character and join the duo as a volunteer at the Roaming Hearts Rescue Ranch. This hub serves as your base of operations for rehabilitating the animals you discover.
