*All* Horse Games Should Be Like "Winner's Circle"

For those of you who've played and enjoyed this game, I'm on your side. "Winner's Circle" will let you play "free ride" in two worlds: island and forest.
However, what I like about this game is creating your own horse. Most games make you have a horse that would have four white stockings, four white socks, or just none for leg markings. Winner's Circle *isn't* like that. They let you let the horse have a white sock, a black half-pastern, a black sock, a white stocking, and more. For example, if your horse is a brown and you want it to have stockings, you use your controls to go to "white stockings" and a random stocking will go onto the horse's legs. It could be two stockings in the back, three stockings on the front and left hind leg, or it could be one stocking on the left front foot.
Anywho, this is a game that makes your horse look like an actual one when it comes to markings, unlike those games that go, "Hey, let's make a horse have all four stockings and all four socks." This is why *all* horse games should be like Winner's Circle.

This game is quite easy, but still has a bit of a learning curve to master- around 15 minutes for a child, I'd say. The riding is reasonable- although most of the competition is focused around winning ribbons to buy clothes in the shop that is convieniently located in the stable area. Play as Ashley, Mary-Kate or create your own character. Creating your own horse was good, with a wide range of colours and markings available. No different horse "personalities" though. A horsey girl or teen would really enjoy this game.

Play it Ride it!!!!!!!!!

As a young woman who has been showing, training, breeding, and riding horses since a very young age, it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to horsemanship games. When I opened up a Christmas gift to find this game, I inwardly groaned and said, Ewwww. Mary-Kate and Ashley. Later that day, I was glued to the Playstation. My parents had to drag me off of it to go to bed. Needless to say, I was very impressed.
Starting out in the stable, you can customize your own rider and horse, and set out to ride, whether you choose horse trials, three or single day eventing, horseshoe hunting, or a simple trail ride, you can be gaurunteed that you'll have fun. The game focuses around the 3-day-eventing, with progression in levels (you work your way up from beginner's circle to winner's circle) and new course layouts for each level.
A fun aspect of the game is the collection of ribbons you can win while trail riding, which can then be spent like money in the tack shop. While there's no tack in the shop, you can buy clothes for your rider, which (however girly it may seem) is rather fun. You can have a tweed coat for showing your chestnut horse, or a black hunt coat for a white horse. The possibilites are endless.
The trail-riding worlds (island and forest) are both huge, with beautiful scenery and landscapes. Each has several hidden minigames, but you'll probably just find yourself galloping aroung exploring. With the two-player option, you can ride with a friend, which is even more fun. The music that plays in the background for these worlds (also featured in horse trials and horseshoe hunts) is catchy and sugary.
The one thing I didn't like about this game is MK-A's voice overs, like "You're on the wrong trail" or "you missed a checkpoint" during the cross-country course. Can you say ANNOYING? Another thing is that, while caring for your horse, the rider will say stupid things like, when brushing the tail "someone needs to use some conditioner!" or when cleaning out the stall, "it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it." I mean, is it really neccesary?
However, these are not trivial problems and if you love horses, you should definately purchase this game! It's great for those rainy days that you can't go out to the barn. Saddle up and I'll see you on the trails!

This game is so cool first time, but is too easy

This game is really cool is ur under 14 and love horses and riding. You can design and name ur own horse, which u can then ride in dressage, x country, jumping free ride. You can win ribbons and trade them for outfits and maps in the shop, and you can feed groom, and generally care for ur horse, to get more points in dressage. The only problem is, it's too easy, and i completed it within a week. Buy it though, coz it's worth the money.

FUN GAME!!

I enjoyed this game a lot. I like how you can create your own horse and compete in Dressage, Cross-Country, and Showjumping. There are a few things I dont think are the greatest. One: The charaters you choose from are UGLY! They say make a charater that looks like you. What, do Mary-Kate and Ashley think everyone is UGLY!?!?!?! I dunno. Two: If you accidently miss a checkpoint, the stupid voices will say 'YOU missed a checkpoint!' It gets SOOOOOOOOOO annoying! Third: In the tack show, I thought they could have done better. They didn't have any saddles, bridles no tack. Only clothes. No duh you can tell its a Mary-Kate and Ashley game.
Everything else, I thought was great. It may seem I hated this game, but i really didn't. Try it out for yourelf! You might like it.

I bought this game because I thought it looked fun and I love horses. I was very dissapointed with it though. It gets very boring after the third or fourth time you've played it. Sometimes I place first and one of the twins (not sure wich one i am not a huge fan of the olsen twins) says I did bad. The graphics are horrible and on the free ride the ribbons are no where to be found. This game could have been alot better but like I said it is fun the first few times you play it.

Good,but Funky
