Getting started on Tutorial Island
Step
In short
Finishing Nancy's quests gives you a bridle and saddle and unlocks the boat to Mainland.
Every new player begins on Tutorial Island, where an NPC named Nancy walks you through the basics. She assigns small tasks that teach you harvesting, chopping trees, mining, crafting, and taming. Catching your first horse earns you a badge, and after that Nancy hands you a bridle and a saddle. Once her quests are done, head to William's travel boat to reach Mainland, where a short intro tour plays before you can explore freely. Nancy and Tutorial Island cannot be revisited after you leave.
- Use a harvester Nancy's tasks introduce basic resource gathering
- Chop trees and mine part of the tasks Nancy assigns
- Craft a Lasso you need one to catch your first wild horse
- Tame the horse catching it earns your first badge and triggers Nancy's reward
- Collect the bridle and saddle Nancy gives these to you after the taming quest
- Board William's boat this is the only way off Tutorial Island and onto Mainland

Finding and catching horses
TipsIn short
Exploring the islands is the core gameplay loop.
Once you reach Mainland the open world opens up across multiple islands. Wild horses roam freely, so walk through each region to learn which horses appear where. Use your Lasso to make the catch. Every horse you catch is recorded automatically in your stables.
Tips worth knowing
- Walk the full map of each island to spot which breeds appear in which areas
- Use the Lasso to complete the capture
- Check your stables after each catch to review what you have collected

- Spare horses sell horses you will not keep to earn money
- Trading swap horses or items with friends as an alternative to selling

Making the most of the Throwback Event
Warn
In short
The Throwback Event ran for exactly two weeks and brought back previously unavailable horses and coats.
The Throwback Event was the game's 100th update celebration. It ran from August 14, 2026 to August 28, 2026, lasting two weeks. During that window, past event coats returned to the wild, including V1 Friesians, V1 Clydesdales, V1 Quarter Horses, V1 Paint Horses, V1 Appaloosas, and a wide range of previous event coats. Six new limited coats were also added — the Oldschool Celebration V1 Friesian, Celebration V2 Friesian, Golden Horseshoe Shire, Candy Heart Arabian, Holiday Holly Connemara, and Caramel Apple Appaloosa — along with the Oil Slick overlay coat that could be applied to any breed. Horses caught during the event carry a special Throwback Event tag that distinguishes them from horses caught in the original events. The event also scattered 100 Time Capsules across the Throwback Islands, each one referencing a specific game update.
Worth watching out for
Horses tagged as Throwback Event are different from the originals
the tag makes them identifiable
All event horses spawned with their pure mane and tail colour only
Event horses could spawn with rare attributes like Island Unique Hairs, Horns, and Naturally Dyed hairs that were not possible in the original releases
Time Capsule locations were the same for every player
Coats excluded from the event
Ghostly, Burgundy Dapple, and Black Rainbow overlay — could not be caught even during this window
09
Playing with friends
TipsIn short

Wild Horse Islands is built around social play. Trading with friends lets both sides get horses or items. Roleplay is an entirely separate layer of the game if that interests you.
Tips worth knowing
- Trade horses and items with friends
- Explore islands together
- Roleplay with friends

Common questions
FAQCan I go back to Tutorial Island after leaving?
No — once you leave Tutorial Island you cannot return to it normally. Nancy also only appears there, so you will not encounter her anywhere else in the game.
What makes Throwback Event horses different from the originals?
Every horse caught during the Throwback Event carries a Throwback Event tag that sets it apart from horses caught during their original release windows. They also had the chance to spawn with rare attributes like Horns and Island Unique Hairs that were not possible in the original events.
How do I earn money without spending real cash?
Collecting resources while you explore and selling horses you do not need are both free ways to build up funds. Trading with friends is another option that costs nothing.
How do I find all 100 Time Capsules?
The capsule locations are the same for every player, spread across Mainland, Forest Island, Mountain Island, Lunar Island, and Wild Island.
