Horse Shoeing - Play Online for Free! | Poki Game

Horse Shoeing is a barn simulation game built around a string of small caretaking mini-games rather than one continuous task. You run a stable, and each horse that comes in needs its hooves cleaned, its old shoes pulled off and new ones fitted, and its coat brushed out before it's ready to go back to work or out for a ride.

Every mini-game follows the same idea: on-screen prompts show you what to do next, and you hold the mouse button (or your finger on a touch screen) to carry it out — scraping a hoof clean, hammering in a shoe, running a brush along a horse's back. It's low-pressure and repetitive in a satisfying way, more about keeping animals cared for than racing a clock.

Controls

Hold down the left mouse button and follow the on-screen prompts for each task. On mobile, hold your finger on the screen the same way.

Tips

• Watch the on-screen prompt closely before acting — each mini-game swaps its instructions, so the same hold-and-drag motion means something different from one task to the next.
• Work through a horse's tasks fully (hooves, shoes, coat) before moving to the next one rather than skipping around.

It suits anyone who wants a slow, cozy game about looking after animals rather than a competitive one — nothing to install, it just runs in the browser.
