 Great fun for the young Equestrian March 7, 2008

Got this game for my granddaughter along with many others, but this is by far her favorite Equestrian game. The graphics are great and the animation is hard to beat. I wasn't sure about buying this one, but it was well worth the money. She will spend many years playing this game.

I like riding the horses and picking your own horse. It is very fun to play. It gives me a lot to do, and you just want to keep on playing it to get to the top. Also, you just want to buy everything that is on the game. I play the game all the time since it is so fun to playHorse Life.
 disappointing February 7, 2008

This game promises a lot, but it is too hard for children. In one of the very first lessons, you are supposed to make the horse turn by tapping a circle and following an arrow with your stylus as these cues appear on screen. However, after making 2 turns successfully, our horse turns by itself into the arena, with no circle, arrow or other cue. Then the game "faults" and sends you back to the beginning of the lesson. After spending days stuck on this, I called tech support but got no fix for this problem. I wonder if my game is defective or if others are having the same problem. As is, the game is not fun and is basically worthless as it cannot be controlled. If you have no control, you cannot advance.

I bought this game for my 11 year old daughter for Christmas. She started liking horses and wanted a good game for her Nintendo DS. She really enjoys playing the game. She said that she will keep the game and not trade it in.

I love horses and video games and as such I play a lot of games with horse aspects. This is probably the 6th or 7th game I've played and while it isn't the best, it certainly is entertaining. Like most games made for kids, it is quite redundant (however not as much so as some of the horse games out there). The graphics are nice, the music isn't annoying. The selections are quite limited, though. Few horses, colors, clothes and tack to choose from. I really enjoy the way that the touch screen is used. It gives you a pattern to follow on the screen and if you complete it correctly your horse preforms the move.
Like other games you can brush & shampoo the horse and muck out stalls, pet your horse, train him, ride out in the cross country trail and compete with him. Unfortunately, this is all. Of course, having said that the only horse game I have found that isn't this way is Let's Ride: The Rosemond Hill Collection (that game has many more options).
If you can swallow the fact that the creators called the piaffe a half pass, get around the fact that the horse is preforming FEI level dressage moves while not on the bit, and that the jumps are completely irregular, this game is worth a try.
While I wouldn't pay $30 for it again, I'd recommend it for half that.
