As If Disney Dreamlight Valley Could Get Any More Magical, The...

As much as I love Disney Dreamlight Valley, getting around by foot can be tedious. You don't really think about it when you've only got the valley to explore, as each of the biomes feel so close you don't need to make a massive journey to get where you need to go. However, the sheer size of the game now it has received three expansions, alongside all the unlockable biomes in the Dream Castle, means there's a lot more ground to cover. And frankly, running around on foot doesn't cut it. Of course, you can glide, but I don't keep on top of my stamina enough to constantly do that.

Fortunately, the newest expansion, Wishblossom Ranch, has unleashed what I can only describe as the best method of transport for a game like this: horses. That's right, if you're someone who grew up wanting to be a princess and asking for a pony every Christmas, then Disney Dreamlight Valley has finally answered your wishes.

Within the Wishblossom Ranch DLC you'll be able to befriend numerous horses too, rather than just being lumped with one. You'll have wild horses to customise and befriend, but most notably, three iconic Disney horses have been added: Maximus from Tangled, Khan from Mulan, and Pegasus from Hercules. All of which play an integral role in the expansion's story, rather than just being bolt-on companions.

In fact, adding mounts has drastically changed the Dreamlight Valley experience for the better, making your life as a valleygoer a lot more efficient. Not only does it make travel faster—your horse trots quicker than any villager walks and you can gallop to cover a huge distance in a fraction of the time it would take you normally—you can also appoint each horse with a set of skills too. Much like villagers, you need to level them up first, but with how much time you're bound to spend with your horses after the excitement of them being added in the first place, you'll probably level up in no time.

These skills aren't the full set you're used to though. They include things like mining, digging holes, and watering crops. It all sounds very basic, but the great thing about getting your horse to do these things for you is that your stamina will never deplete. Sure, the animation of a horse breaking a rock is probably a few frames longer than if you did it with your pickaxe, but it's generally going to be a lot shorter than having to consume several meals back to back, or visit your house to restore your stamina bar. Honestly, the lack of back and forth when I want to
