Version v3.2.0-beta.2
Beta, released on July 14, 2026
Back has always been a slightly suspicious concept in Horse. Every link made a new Trail, so what exactly were you meant to go back to? Trails® 3 answers that: Horse now remembers the path through pages and Trails as one continuous trip. It turns out the Back button merely needed a family tree.
Use the buttons, press Command+[ or Command+], swipe with two fingers on a Mac trackpad, or use the Back and Forward buttons on a mouse. They all follow the same path.

- Back and Forward now travel through both a page’s own history and the Trails you followed to reach it.
- Navigate Back and Forward with the toolbar buttons, Command+[ and Command+], a two-finger trackpad swipe, or the extra buttons on a mouse.
- Pressing Back, Escape, or selecting another Trail while a Subtrail is opening now cancels the opening cleanly.
- Rapid clicks, redirects, retries, connection errors, and slow pages no longer cross their wires, duplicate Trails, or rewrite the wrong page after you have moved elsewhere.
- Clicking a zoomable image inside Wikipedia’s media viewer opens the full image as a Subtrail while leaving the lightbox where it belongs.
- Menu actions used immediately after opening a menu no longer disappear while the menu is still settling into place.
- Back and Forward remain attached to the right path across multiple windows, unloaded Trails, interrupted openings, and pages that change their own history.
- Disabled navigation buttons no longer show tooltips for actions that cannot be used.
- A link that is becoming a Subtrail now appears as a small provisional child with a loader. The Trail you are leaving stays exactly as it is, because it is not secretly loading anything.
- The Settings and sidebar controls have swapped places, with consistent icons, sizing, colors, and tooltips across the top of Horse.
