addedAdded 9 new courses and 2 new championships: London 2012 and Paris 2024. Three of the Paris 2024 courses were available for download on the Workshop, these have now been removed from the Workshop and included by default in the game; the existing leaderboards for these courses are maintained.
changedAdded a new obstacle type, the water jump. Make sure you ride with a sufficiently long canter to clear the water! This new obstacle has been included on 4 previously existing courses as well as 6 of the new courses.
addedSignificantly increased the horses' sensitivity to turning: you can now make much sharper turns, like in real life show jumping. The horses will also tend towards a straight trajectory faster than before when you release the joystick.
addedAdded branding to some of the obstacles to increase their realism.
addedUpdated the behavior of the dynamic variables (balance, stride length, turn curvature) when jumping. Before, there were sharp changes in sensitivity while the horse was taking off, on the air, or landing. Now these adjustments to sensitivity are introduced smoothly.
changedEnglish commentary has been updated with state-of-the-art TTS. Now comments in English sound more realistic, and there is 5x higher variety of comments, both in terms of content and intonation.

  • Added a new obstacle type, the water jump. Make sure you ride with a sufficiently long canter to clear the water! This new obstacle has been included on 4 previously existing courses as well as 6 of the new courses.

  • Significantly increased the horses' sensitivity to turning: you can now make much sharper turns, like in real life show jumping. The horses will also tend towards a straight trajectory faster than before when you release the joystick.

  • Added branding to some of the obstacles to increase their realism.

  • Updated the behavior of the dynamic variables (balance, stride length, turn curvature) when jumping. Before, there were sharp changes in sensitivity while the horse was taking off, on the air, or landing. Now these adjustments to sensitivity are introduced smoothly.

  • English commentary has been updated with state-of-the-art TTS. Now comments in English sound more realistic, and there is 5x higher variety of comments, both in terms of content and intonation.

  • The horse trajectory indicator, the white stripe on the ground showing where the horse is heading, is now only available on Beginner and Intermediate difficulty levels. On Professional difficulty level you now need to feel and adjust where the horse is heading without the help of the (unrealistic) ground indicator.

  • Fixed a bug whereby any triggered horse jump counted as having cleared the obstacle. Now you actually have to cross the obstacle through the center and in the right direction. This also means that if the horse jump is triggered by passing very near an obstacle that you are not intending to jump (in the context of a jump-off-type turn) you will no longer be disqualified for "jumping the wrong obstacle".

  • Slight re-balancing of horse stats: Baloubet du Rouet is no longer significantly better than other horses, so give them all a try!

  • Updated the rider face and hand textures, they no longer look like mannequins.

  • Implemented performance enhancements (optimal texture compression, use of DLSS).

  • The course name font on the course selection screen now adapts to accommodate the very long user-generated course names.

  • Cleaned the Workshop from "bad" submissions. There were about 100 submissions that were no more than a test from the part of the player, for instance a couple of random obstacles and no start/finish detectors. These have now been hidden so that they do not unnecessarily crowd the Workshop. Please consider deleting any submissions that are of this kind.

I hope you will enjoy this update as much as I have. See you in the leaderboards!
