My mom and I were in the Half Price Book Store one day and this game was on the shelf so we got it. I thought that the intermediate level was IMPOSSIBLE at first but once you get the hang of it, it's really easy! I have had a lot of fun with this game and it has taught me a lot more about riding. The horses don't look all that real but the game is fun anyway!

Very outdated

When I first got horse and pony stables I thought it looked like a good game. I was wrong. It's very badly put together. First of all the graphics are terrible and the gameplay is very slow and scratchy. Here is basic overview of the whole thing: You start out in a stables that has about twelve horses, which are each a different color. All you can do with the horses is 'groom' them but the horses don't look any different after you've groomed them. After you have found your way around the stables you can sign up for lessons in the areana. All the lesson consists of is reading a paragraph on whatever (there are about 50 things you read in all the lessons.) Once you're done reading you take a test. Like if you read about how to stop the horse,the outline of a horse and rider will appear and you will have to click the correct position that the rider should be in. It gets very boring. Once you have passed you can enter a competition. You can compete in dressage, cross country and show jumping were you can chose from five different horses to ride, but they all look identical. In dressage You watch a five minute thing where you see a horse and rider move across the areana. Then it's your turn. You have to literally memorize their movements which is imposible. In show jumping and cross country you just go over a boring sequence of jumps in which the graphics are even worse. I got this game about a year ago and only played it for a week. Unless you're desperate for a horse game don't get it.

OK game......played better

I have this game and to tell you the truth I played it for an extermely long time like 2 or more hours for about a 1 week and a half.Then I got burnt out on it.If you do buy this game play it for like 30 min. a day or it will get boring.The only exciting part is the show.I reccomend show-jumping on the game...I have done that so much (especially course 1) that even that is getting boring.

I bought it, why don't you?

This game wuz exciting to me at first. You get to choose a horse, take care of it, and then race with it. But after awhile the races get old. You can't do much except clean the horse. So if you're planning a short lasting exciting game for your child...this is the game for u!

Not to good

No instructions were provided on how to play this game. It was very frustrating for me and my daughter. I wasn't even able to download from their website. Don't buy unless you are a genius.

Blah...

If you are going to get this game, then you are simply wasting your money. This game is soo boring. You can only pick through three horses to buy. There is an Arabian mare, an English gelding, and a Welsh Pony mare that is castrated. So even just out of the horses , the game is boring. When you go to tack up you "horse" they DAMAND you put on their " Cherry Red Saddlepad and my Leather Bridle and Saddle" Even a second after they eat they say " Pee u! You better start cleanin' "Missy"!" They dont even respect you! The game doesn't even give you clear instrucktions on how to do the competisions. You hear me out "WARNING!: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME BECUASE YOU MAY SUFFUR OF BORDISIOM!!!!!!!"

if u luv horses then u will luv this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a daughter that has been riding for two years. Her aunt, (who is a competative equestrian), gave her this CD last Christmas. After playing it for a while, my daughter has learned a lot more about riding, even surprising her aunt with what she has learned. I realize other reviewers have tanked this CD, but all I can say is that it has helped my daughter and she enjoys playing it.
