The graphics of the game are generally considered decent but dated, reflecting its age and budget constraints. While some players appreciate the attention to detail and animations, others find them lacking compared to modern standards. Overall, the visuals are seen as acceptable for a game of its time, with a few standout elements, particularly in horse design and scenery.
- “I have not got that far into the game, but from what I have seen it is very realistic in terms of graphics and gameplay, which is all you could ever wish for in a game with horses.”
- “It has amazing graphics and a not too set storyline so you are pretty free to do as you wish!”
- “The graphics are not as realistic as most modern games, however, what it does have is beautiful.”
- “The controls are slow and unintuitive, the graphics look bad even for the year it was made, there is no story, it's incredibly repetitive and the grind is exhausting.”
- “The game tries to go for a realistic art style but falls short in nearly everything except the horses.”
- “Cons: money is hard to earn until you reach a certain level, foal training is broken and doesn't work, game gets a wee bit boring after you win all the races, limited number of breeds, graphics are a bit dated.”

The gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics, including a balance system, realistic jumping, and various minigames that provide variety. While the controls are generally smooth and intuitive, some players find the gameplay can become repetitive, particularly with the maintenance tasks for horses. Overall, it appeals more to younger audiences and casual players rather than those seeking a competitive or in-depth experience.
- “This is a game of my childhood; I used to play it on the Wii as a little boy, and of course back then the graphics were amazing and the gameplay was phenomenal!”
- “Every aspect feels as though it was thought through; reading books to improve your skills actually includes information (I've ridden most of my life and loved horses all of it, and there was still stuff I learned!), the controls for the lunging, massaging, and breeding minigames are easy enough to pick up and provide gameplay variety, and you need to balance your own training and work plans with the needs of any guests you have staying.”
- “If you wanted to completely level up all of your horses, you'd easily get hours and hours of gameplay.”
- “Don't love the actual gameplay so far.”
- “Gameplay does get repetitive very quickly; horses get dirty doing nothing and require endless bathing and brushing, and there is not enough in the riding side for the more competitive types looking to improve their skill in a game.”
- “Good for younger children and teaching the aspects of finances or time management as well as basic horse care, but definitely would not recommend for the older horse-savvy person unless you're looking for very casual gameplay or just need an extra horse game because you've exhausted every other one on the market.”

The game's story is generally perceived as minimal and lacking depth, primarily revolving around objectives related to upgrading a ranch and managing horse care. While some players appreciate the free-form nature of the gameplay and the nostalgic elements, others find the repetitive tasks and absence of a compelling narrative disappointing. Overall, it caters more to casual players who enjoy horse simulation rather than those seeking a rich storyline.
- “Voice acting: the opening cutscene of the story mode was beautifully done.”
- “Story: the story is good, you renovate an old stable and build up your farm from scratch, which I like.”
- “I'm not a huge fan of playing games with bad quality, but this game really impressed me. It has a great storyline and you can do a lot of things, such as taking part in cross-country competitions, and as the major objective, you have to rebuild an old stable.”
- “The controls are slow and unintuitive, the graphics look bad even for the year it was made, there is no story, it's incredibly repetitive and the grind is exhausting.”
- “There is not a storyline for the game, just objectives that have to be reached in order to reach the next star rating.”
- “I did accidentally skip the intro as I was trying to increase the volume, so I'm not sure how much story I missed there, but inside the game there didn't seem to be much.”
