There are several different breeds, and lots of different coat colours and morphs, and the tack customization is pretty cool too.

The horse graphics and mannerisms is pretty spot on, clearly the people who made this really love horses.

I haven't touched multiplayer yet but all the campaign races and mechanics work flawlessly for me.

Do note that once you reach maximum rank, top level horses can be used in multiplayer races, which is a nice touch (prior to max rank, you simply choose from a list of premade horses).
