Announcing the TMQ Horse Game Press & Influencer Contact List – Sign up now!

I’m putting together a contact list for creators of horse game related content – YouTubers, Twitch streamers, TikTokers, game writers… as long as you’re interested in making content about horse games, this list is for you!
My intention is that next time a studio making a horse game asks me for relevant influencers (which has happened on a handful of occasions), I will have a proper resource for them rather than just naming a handful of people from the top of my head.

Developers and studios with horse-relevant games to promote can then contact me and I can forward their outreach to the relevant creators.
Please help spread the word by sharing this post with any horse game content creators that you follow!
This information and a link to the sign-up form has also been added at the top of the website, see themanequest.com/content-creators

The Ranch of Rivershine stands out among the horse game niche. I’ve followed Rivershine and its creator Éloise Laroche of Cozy Bee Games for years and previously featured them on TMQ on multiple occasion.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a game about horse girl racing. Yes, you read that right, not horse racing, horse girl racing.
