My two daughters (ages 6 and 11), both experienced game players, enjoy "My Horse Farm" tremendously. My 6-year old does need occasional help from her older sister, but can play without assistance most of the time. My 11-year old also plays on her own without being bored. I do think its a great accomplishment for the game's creators that both girls like it! I recommend it highly!

The Game is Fantastic

I bought this for my 8 yr old grand daughter for Christmas. She is an avid horse lover. It is amazing what she is capable of figuring out on her own. On the game, she has been saving up money to purchase stud fees. She has even figured out if you take things back to the store you purchased for the horse, that they return money.
At first she was a little stumped, but after she caught on what was going on the computer hasnt shut off since then.
Highly recommend this game for a learning experience.

A Great Horse Game

I'm 12 years old, and I thought this game was great! If you think that the cartoonish graphics look bad, they really aren't, because the game is still REALLY fun and cool with them. The game is very challenging; it teaches you how to manage a business during the ups and downs of money managment. I found this game challenging, as sometimes I was bankrupt, but other times I had well over 50,000 dollars. The game progresses in levels- your farm starts on level one, and the more you upgrade, the higher the levels it becomes. It is very hard to get started. You start with 4,000 dollars, but don't take it for granted. I start upgrading my farm gradually instead of spending my money recklessly. Overall, a very rewarding game. You get to train the horses which is very fun. Many other horse games "claim" that you get to train them, but this one actually works. Your horses start off as being not very good for riding, but you care for them and teach them how to jump and pace themselves. You also get to build up their strength and endurance, as well as sell and breed your horses. The game is fantastic! Once you get the hang of it, your business will be booming! 5 out of 5 stars! *****

Awesome from the very beginning

Well, here I am! Back after Christmas like I said. Anyway, I just started playing My Horse Farm about an hour ago, and I am totally addicted! At First, the barn, the house, and the pasture are shabby, and they're the only pieces of land that you own. But you can buy all of the land around you and make it into a riding hall, a parking lot (once you make the parking lot, you automaticly get a trailer), an exercise ring, etc. I didn't realize how hard it was to start with only $4000! Here, I'll list some things I've picked up in the short while I've been playing:
*When you go into the horse's stall, she doesn't even look at you until you feed her because she doesn't trust you. Pet her a lot and groom her to earn her trust.
*Do the first level practice twice without over-heating or going to fast and falling, and then you can advance to the second level (although you have to set up obsticles)
*When flys start buzzing around your horse when she's in the stall, it's time to clean it.
*If you click the tack to put it on, it doesn't appear on the horse, but it's still on.
*If you upgrade you barn a little, your horse will stay healthier. My horse needed shots because she was eating hay from the ground, and when I upgraded the barn, the hay was in a hay rack.
*You don't need to upgrade the pastures first thing; I would start by building the guest house, and then the parking lot. Also, as I said, upgrading the barn is really good too.
*It takes a good few rounds to have a foal. You can breed your horse, and then take her to the vet to have a pregnancy test done, and she'll tell you if she's pregnat. Also, by upgrading you barn, you'll get another stall to keep the foal in when she/he's old enough.
*Your saddles will work for a while; I would get the insect repellant blanket, the clippers, and the least expensive pad before anything else.
*When your mare is pregnat, be sure to get her the mare and foal food. I forgot about that, and that was why my mare didn't seem pregnat at all.
Well, if I pick up anymore useful tips, I'll be back!

I have a tip

Let me start by saying I LOVE this game!!! Anyway, when your horse gets injured with a contusion, go to the vet alone, click long term medication, and buy the medicene that's in little tablets. Then go home, click on grooming, click on the first aid kit, click on the medicene and wah lah! Your horse is cured! (almost)

Don't be fooled by the graphics, this game rocks! Personally I found the graphics rather cute myself though! You start out with $4000 and a horse. Usally I sell the horse (after it is acually worth some money) and get another one. You have to take your horse to the vet to get it's shots and/or neuter your male or see if your female is going to have a foal. There are two ways to make your horse have a foal: Bying a male horse to breed with your female one (or the other way around) or going to the breeders with a female horse and paying the stud fee to breed your mare with any of the stallions. You can enter compations or just ride your horse around.

Now here are the only bad things:
The Compations are very hard
It is excpensive to upgrade your stable (though it is a must do thing)
Also, you can't see the horses you are boarding

Now back to the numarious good things! Another good thing about the game is that the begining may be hard, once you get the hang of it, you really earn a lot of money! You can still earn a lot of money without racing, I make a lot of money without racing at least. This is a must buy game that never gets old! No matter how many times you play, no matter how much money you've earned, you can still keep trying to breed a champion!

Horse Farm is a hit!

My 8-year old daughter has been crazy about horses for about a year now. We gave her this game because it's about as close to owning a horse as she is likely to get! She's having a ball with it, but I don't really know much about the quality of the game myself as I haven't played it. I've seen her playing it though, and the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I think the graphics might have been better, but they are pretty good anyway, plenty good enough for an 8-year old to enjoy. What matters is SHE loves it!

Awesome game

I wish that I could have given it 10 stars, but too bad. It is really fun and you can own up to five horses. They have many colors of horse, and you start out with a chestnut mare. Overall, this game is really easy and you get to have fun and bond with your horses. It is REALLY fun and I HIGHLY recommend it to horse lovers everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A GREAT horse game

This game is great for learning responsibility and how to buget your money. The Gaphics might stink, but you really get used to them after a while. This game shows the real expenses of having a horse. It is really challenging starting with $4,000, but it is so much fun. At the very begining upgrade your stables. Also don't spend all of your money first thing.Plus I found that if breed your mare before you sell it, it will sell for more money. This game is great for horse lovers everywhere.

I AM 15 AND LOVE THIS GAME!

This game is full of challenges. I think younger kids can learn a ton about horses and caring for them. If it get too hard, they can just go out to the trails to ride and jump. Teens like me are going to have to really think about running a farm. I am always thinking about my next steps and how to make my business grow. I guess I am addicted. The most important thing is that it's fun.
