Customer Reviews

Awesome game!!Review by EventingRider
I own this game and i LOVE it...I can't stop playing it..the graphics are amazing and i like the fact that you can create your own horse instead of just picking the horses they have...I do think that they should've included a bigger variety of horse breeds to choose from...i reccomend this game to anyone who's a horse lover,rides in three day events like i do,and has a TON OF PATIENCE...because the four star training can become frustrating...I like this game a whole lot better than Time To Ride and My Horse Farm

The BEST game i have EVER had
Trust me, i have had so many games in my life its unbelievable. And this game has the be the best. The graphcs are great and the horses are SO realistic.

Basically at first u choose make urself. You pick your difficulty, nationality, your apperearance, your name etc. Then you get shown around your stables. After that you go to your stables and pick your horse. You pick its breed, height and gender. then you pick its color, markings, name and so on. Once youve done all of that you pick what its good at, speed, jumping, stamina, trust and agility.

Once youve done all that you have to train and look after your horse and you can qualify for major events, ADelaide, Kentucky, Badminton and burgley. Once youve done each of them you move up a level, it starts at 2* then 3 then 4. Each time you do something you get rewarded, whether it is a better style of clothing or a new horse.

If you dont want to do that you can go riding with your friends in any event of ANY level.

This is a MUST HAVE game. If you love horses, games and fun you'll love this game.

Fun game but ....
Let's get to the good stuff first... I am a western rider so buying this game not knowing what to expect I was a bit skeptical. The graphics of this game are fantastic - the horses are very "real" as are the riders you get to create in the image of yourself. You get to take care of the horse you create and you get to ride three disciplines - Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country. Now being from the western style of riding, I've never done any of the three and had no clue as to what they involve. The Dressage portion you'll need hand and eye coordination and you definitely need no distractions if you want to succeed in all three events. This part of the game is the most fun and worth it. You also have Lucinda giving you encouragement and tips as you go along - which is good.

Now for the bad stuff. Well, not so much bad stuff but I was wanting basic horse supplies when I first tried the game - you will eventually get all the supplies you need but you have earn the items. So the more you win events, the more stuff you get. And basically you start off with the bare basics, one outfit per event for you and your horse. As you win events, you receive treats such as better tack, better clothes, and sweets for your horse. The other thing is that most of the movement is with your keyboard, not your mouse. I'm better with the mouse than the keyboard, so this has proven a challenge for me, somewhat. The cross country courses are a bit confusing, especially for me, since I've never done those before. The Dressage takes some time to get the knack if you don't know what it is or how the patterns go. It's best to get into a rhythm and stick with it. I was hoping for more interaction with other riders and others on the farm.

If you have a good graphics card, and a strong computer, you are going to be pleased with this game. Once you get started, this game is very addicting!
