I went to check out the Myrtlewood Stables website, and there was this ad for Myrtlewood Stables Virtual Horse Ranch on the front page, the link for which brings you to the site for Virtual Horse Ranch II. VHRII was a 3D successor of Virtual Horse Ranch, a virtual pet site.
I then found a later successor of VHR, Virtual Horse Ranch 3D. Here is the kickstarter video, a gameplay video, and the Orbis Games Youtube channel. VHR3D seems to be dead in the water for now, with their last update being from 2019.
I'll do some proper research when I have the time, but I thought I ought to share this now in case anyone here has played any these games, or knows anything more about them.

Here's my art piece to accompany @ssoineswolfbell 's fic for the SSOblr Big Bang! I wanted to work with really bright colors reminiscent of pandoria and get the feeling of the fear that strikes the heart when seeing the firgrove wolves during western camp.

“This whole wolf situation is weird, but let's not make a big deal out of it, all right?” Josh added, and Ines hummed vaguely in response.
Ines promptly became obsessed with the wolves.
Or:
The wolves stalking Firegrove might be a bigger issue than it seems.
Be sure to check out @graphi-horse-time's wonderful art piece!!

06. Which Breed is your favorite? Which Generation is it from, and why do you love it so much?
07. What is your favorite coat color - if you have one?
20. What part of the Main Story is your favorite?
23. Which Druid Circle do you prefer? Is there a reason for your preference? Is it tied to the Soul Rider of the Circle?
27. What character from the game is your favorite? Are there multiple?
29. What's your favorite location in the game? Is it even available yet, or do you yearn for it from different games/mediums?
6. Which Breed is your favorite? Which Generation is it from, and why do you love it so much?
I can't choose between the G3 Arabian, Appaloosa, and Icelandic, but it doesn't matter since the American Saddlebred is going to be my new favorite in a few weeks :)
I answered 7 in a previous ask.
20. What part of the Main Story is your favorite?
Saving Anne. I had just gotten back into the game and had fallen into SSOblr sort of by accident, and I remember the energy in the community around that time was unreal. I feel almost nostalgic for that era of SSOblr. The quest itself was really well-written and well-polished. The cutscenes were fantastic. It actually lived up to the hype. It really felt like the start of something bigger, but nothing they've done since then has compared to that.
23. Which Druid Circle do you prefer? Is there a reason for your preference? Is it tied to the Soul Rider of the Circle?
I think that all of the Circles have the potential to be interesting, but the Moon Circle captured my imagination enough that I was inspired to create an OC for it (Dominick) I sometimes think about creating my own generation of Soul Riders just so that I can further explore and expand on the Circles.
27. What character from the game is your favorite? Are there multiple?
Lisa and Starshine have been my favorites since SSL. I wanted to grow up to be just like Lisa someday. I actually like her SSO design, but I wish they'd develop her personality a little more.
Alex is the character that I can relate to the most, and to me, she's the most compelling of the Soul Riders. Of course, all of the Soul Riders have their own traumas and challenges to overcome, but Alex is really disadvantaged in comparison. Her family is poor and without stable income, her father is absent, her mother is a deadbeat, and she's having to take care of her younger sibling on top of all of that. Also, with Lisa and Linda, it feels as though they have some separation of their everyday lives and their Soul Rider duties, whereas for Anne and Alex, their involvement with the Druids has had tangible, "real"-life consequences for them. The fandom doesn't seem to discuss her much outside of her relationship with Maya, and maybe that's because she's often delegated to comedic relief, but she really has a lot on her plate, even without the whole "saving the world" thing.
29. What's your favorite location in the game? Is it even available yet, or do you yearn for it from different games/mediums?
I hate to be That Guy, but honestly, I like the older areas best. Jorvik City, Dino Valley, Pi's cave, the oil rig, Cape West, Jarleheim, all of the old interiors… It's not that I think the updated areas are bad (in fact, I think they're a major improvement), it's just that they've lost the dark and mysterious atmosphere that the original areas had. I really wanted to like Valedale and the Wildwoods, but they just don't have that same intrigue.
If I had to pick just one place, I'd say the bridge between Jorvik and Pandoria.
#ty for the ask#sorry for writing so much. i drank sooo much caffeine and now i feel like i'm gonna explode
