“Nature, good friends and cute fellow riders make Horse Club Adventures a success!” declared Liliana Senra of PC Games. “A large open-world map, loads of missions and side-quests to do. Multiple and various gameplay options. This game is seriously big!” raved Steve Perrin of Little Bits of Gaming. “Looks freakin’ adorable!” exclaimed Ollie Reynolds of Nintendo Life. Alice Ruppert of The Mane Quest praised the music as it “adjusts based on which area of the world you’re in, with a lovely mysterious-sounding forest tune and some more cheerful tracks near stables and cafés.” “The music is happy and uplifting,” writes Jason Patrick of Thumb Culture, “giving it that country feeling!”
The soundtrack is comprised of blissful and lively acoustic folk, featuring acoustic guitar, ukulele, flute, fiddle, and many other cheerful and expressive folk instruments. Happy and wholesome folk tracks come together to create an engagingly rural, countryside style. The music is composed and performed by BAFTA-nominated composer/musician Winifred Phillips, whose award-winning music has been performed at such venues as the Palais Des Congres in Paris, the Eventim Apollo in London, the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and the Teatro degli Arcimboldi in Milan. Phillips is a Society of Composers and Lyricists Award-nominee. Most recently, Phillips’ music was performed by the renowned Helix Collective chamber ensemble as a part of their “Level UP!” concert celebrating women and POC composers. Phillips’ repertoire has repeatedly focused on uplifting and life-affirming projects – including her music for Sackboy: A Big Adventure (hailed as “joyous” with “a real sense of wonder” by BBC Radio 3). The Washington Post has praised Phillips’ music as “captivating!”
