The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reactions from players, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and the prevalence of in-app purchases. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game is heavily designed around microtransactions, leading to a perception of it being a "cash grab." Overall, players acknowledge the fun gameplay but are critical of the intrusive ads and high costs associated with in-game purchases.
“Yes, there are in-app purchases, and yes, there are diamonds used in purchasing items, but there are so many ways to earn diamonds without spending any real money.”
“I think it's a great game and the in-game purchases are not bad; you can still progress without paying anything, and you can choose whether or not to watch most of the ads. It's also very fun! 😀”
“Its a really good game if you like to collect things and is just fun to me. I like to breed new and beautiful horses, and it's a very calm game. Almost everything is free, plus it has no ads, which I love!”
“However, it is a mobile game and it suffers from the same greedy tactics of in-app purchases.”
“Game has turned into a massive cash grab with forced ads everywhere.”
“I don't understand how you're expected to get far in this game without using gems... such potential, ruined by ads and money gouging.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often feeling that it leans towards a pay-to-win model due to the high costs associated with farming and breeding. The repetitive nature of tasks, such as searching for specific horses and the slow coin acquisition, detracts from the overall enjoyment, making gameplay feel laborious rather than fun. While the game has enjoyable elements for horse and farming enthusiasts, the grinding mechanics can lead to a loss of interest over time.
“Feels very grindy and pay-to-win.”
“Everything takes coins, and way too many of them (e.g., farming, breeding, etc.), which honestly takes the fun out of the game with how impossible it is to acquire coins.”
“Grinding for coins is very hard.”
