Oh how I wished for a game like this when i was a kid and actually competing in three day events!

This game is fairly solid and easy to figure out. I like having the different eventing levels to work towards. The controls take a little getting used to at first, and sometimes it is frustrating when your horse refuses a jump, but I like this as it is realistic. If you are riding in real life and come at a jump too fast or two slow, or at a bad angle, chances are, the horse will not jump it.

I would like to see more details included- for instance, falling off if you do something goofy, or having to take a break because you've pushed your horse too hard too quickly. Thigns to make this game more realistic.

It is irritating sometimes that the horse canters on the wrong lead, but overall, a fun game. I really wish I'd had this growing up, I think I would have gotten even more enjoyment out of it.

I agree with whoever said it would be nice to walk around the stables, barn, etc, instead of just scroll through the options.

The only thing that really annoys me is the amount of time you have to spend brushing and petting your horse. I don't play game a lot, so when I do get to sit down and play, I want to play! To me, sitting there and electronically petting your horse, then electronically brushing your horse for 5 minutes each, then watering and haying, is too much time. I believe you should have to click the button, which would signify that you did brush, pet, feed, water, etc, and then get to go about your business.

All in all, a fun game. I'll bet there are tons of young horse lovers that would love to play this.

excellent

I got this game as a gift that I had asked for, for many months. I think it is overall a very well put together game. My favorite part was the show jumping. Dressage seems tough at first but then you get the hang of it and you end up loving it. Cross country is great but it seems that in one part the horse will always refuse. It is in the 4 star stage I think the second competition down on the list. The 18th jump, you approach the horse will refuse even if you speed up, slow down, aim straight at it. I think it helps to go at it in an angle. But besides that I really enjoyed the game a lot and it will be many hours of fun for anyone who loves horses.

Fun!

This is a pretty easy game. Not fast moving. I would compare it to a car racing game where you can build your cars and open new tracks.

We all love it!!!

I bought this for the kids for Christmas and decided to test drive it myself first. It has great graphics, several levels, realistic courses and is the best I've seen on the market. I couldn't make them wait until Christmas so we've been playing it now for almost two months. The older kids (teenagers)beat the game in about a week but still find it entertaining by creating new horses and starting over with their new horses. The younger kids, ages 7 and 10, are still working their way through the levels. I'm very pleased with this purchase!

this is the BEST horse game for PS2

This is the best horse game ever! This game was purchased for my 10 year old who is very much into equine sports and she loves it. I've played it myself and find each of the levels very challenging. The graphics are wonderful, even the sound effects of the horses snorting as they exert effort is there! I would highly recommend for anyone (child or not) who is interesting in horse eventing.

What gives?

I just recieved this game today and I am already yelling at it and it is probably going to be on its way back shortly. When I go to create my horse after getting my rider..I get up to the adjust horse stats screen and can go no further...If I go back then nothing gets saved. Am I just a moron who cant figure this out or is there something wrong with it? I looked in the booklet and have been searching online for almost an hour now

My daughter loves this game. She's just 14 almost 15. It's more realistic than some other games. It's more fun also.
