Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue is a PlayStation 2 game where players help Barbie track down escaped horses and foals after a storm opens the ranch gate. The game features three distinct environments: forest, mountains, and beach. Each area culminates in locating three foals plus a horse, while players must also compete in a race to rescue a horse found by another character.
A storm comes in and causes the gate at a ranch to open, letting horses and foals run away. Barbie must track down the foals and horses through 3 parts of 3 different settings: the forest, the mountains, and the beach. There is an average of three foals plus one horse that can be found at the end of the section. In the 2nd part of the section, a missing horse will be found by someone else, and Barbie must race them.
