How to Ride Animals in Raise Animals
Riding animals is an easy task in Raise Animals. However, it can be a little confusing, especially if you’re new to the game. The tutorial only holds your hand so far and demands that you master the mechanics on your own. So, if you wish to understand the riding mechanic in the game and master it, then follow the instructions below.
- Launch Raise Animals on your device.
- When inside, click the Play button on the left side of the screen.
- Click the Select option under the animal that you currently have and wish to ride.
- Now, all you need to do is steer left and right to avoid hitting obstacles and other animals in your path. Use the A and D keys for this.



Note that the animals move in a straight line automatically. This means you cannot change their speed or make them move backward. However, you must make a separate move to leave your current animal behind and get on a new one.

Catching a new animal is a little tricky. It requires you to be precise and get the perfect timing. While this can be achieved with practice, we have the complete set of instructions to help you out.
- Click the Play button to start riding your animal.
- Keep an eye out for the animal that you wish to catch and ride.
- Ensure the animal is positioned in front of you. It shouldn’t be too far away or too close.
- Next, press the Space Bar to jump from your animal. It will propel you forward.
- Now, use your mouse to align the lasso’s circle and take it towards the animal you are aiming at.
- When done correctly, you will be prompted to press the E button to ride the animal.
- Wait for the heart meter to fill out completely. Once this is done, the animal is automatically added to your inventory.
- Exit the race, go to your farm, equip the animal, and click anywhere on the land to place the creature in your field.

Tips and Tricks That Will Help You Out
While it will certainly take time for you to master the technique and get atop new animals each turn, we have some tips and tricks that will come in handy.
- Make sure to target fast animals. This will help you keep up with better creatures as you keep moving forward.
- Before jumping, make sure the targeted animal is not too far away, too quick, or too close to you. This is because pressing the Space Bar propels you forward at a considerable speed and distance.
- Don’t panic if a desired animal gets behind or too close. The creatures respawn frequently, and you will get another chance soon.
- Keep a distance from obstacles and other animals. The game records getting too close as crashing into them and ends your run.
- Make sure to upgrade your Lasso. This can be done at the Lasso Gacha shop, where you can spend money on the upgrade. Doing so will increase your range, allowing you to catch animals easily.
