The world’s most iconic doll has returned to one of her most beloved pastimes in a brand-new, open-world equestrian adventure that has just trotted onto consoles and PC – Barbie Horse Trails.
Barbie Horse Trails is the new title from PHL Collective and Outright Games with this charming new quest now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC for £34.99.
Prepare to join Barbie and Barbie in Canterbury Trails Park, where you’ll ride your trusted horse, Lucky, help restore the park, and uncover a host of mysteries.
A Cherished Legacy Reborn
The Barbie brand’s connection to horse riding is a beloved and recurring theme. Many will remember the popular Barbie Horse Adventures series from the 2000s, and the theme continues to this day in the television series, Barbie Mysteries: The Great Horse Chase.
Erika Winterholler, Head of Licensed Games, Mattel Digital Studios, said: “For generations, Barbie has inspired imagination and empowerment, and for many fans, her horse-riding adventures were a treasured escape into the digital world of Barbie. With Barbie Horse Trails, we’re celebrating that cherished legacy while opening a new chapter, inviting players to rediscover the joy of Barbie horse games and create their own stories alongside Barbie “Malibu”, Barbie “Brooklyn”, and their friends in Canterbury Trails Park.”
“Launching Barbie Horse Trails today is an incredible milestone,” added Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games. “Collaborating with Mattel to bring this iconic brand to life in an immersive adventure has been such a joy. Barbie is such an enduring global icon, and we’re incredibly proud to work with Mattel on a game that captures the brand’s spirit of friendship, adventure, and discovery.”
Welcome to Canterbury Trails Park
In Barbie Horse Trails, you will join Barbie “Brooklyn” Roberts and Barbie “Malibu” Roberts as they become Junior Park Rangers-in-Training. You’ll team up with Head Ranger Annalise to solve mysteries, restore the park’s natural spaces, and discover ancient artifacts.
This is a game built for exploration. You will get to explore a vast open world, including peaceful lakesides, wildflower meadows, and lush forests. Mini-games and races will challenge your riding skills, while dynamic quests will invite you to discover the park’s wildlife and uncover the mystery of a legendary horse.
You won’t be alone on your adventure either. You’ll get to reunite with beloved characters like Ken, Teresa, Nikki, and Daisy, who will offer guidance and join in on activities throughout the park.
As you explore, you will find collectible chests that will allow you to customise your outfits and gear – you know, Barbie style. You can also build a bond with your horse, Lucky, by cleaning, grooming, and feeding them, and you can even dress them up with colourful accessories like bridles, saddles, and ribbons.

We’ve been keenly anticipating this new family-friendly adventure for a little while now. It was back in August that we first got wind of the new title when we reported that you could saddle up with Barbie Horse Trails for an October release. Now, that day has finally arrived.
