Honoring Barbie’s Legacy of Imagination
Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has inspired creativity and confidence across generations. Her connection to horseback riding has been a cherished theme for decades — from the classic Barbie Horse Adventures games (2003–2008) to her latest Netflix series, Barbie Mysteries: The Great Horse Chase.
Now, with Barbie Horse Trails, that spirit of freedom and friendship is reimagined for modern players through an open-world lens — making it one of Barbie’s most ambitious video game adventures yet.
