The gameplay is generally well-received, with effective mechanics, though some players find the horse animations a bit stiff, making it challenging to master striding. The game offers a level of difficulty that rewards players with real-life knowledge of equestrian mechanics.
“It's a good game; the mechanics work nicely, but I find it pretty hard to get a feel for the striding as the animations for the horses are a little stiff.”
“This is one of the two current horse games that offers a challenge, and real-life knowledge of striding mechanics will benefit you greatly.”

While the game offers enjoyable gameplay, it suffers from significant optimization issues, with users noting excessive memory usage of 24.6GB, which is considered excessive for an indie title. Improvements in optimization are necessary to enhance the overall experience.
“Fun, but desperately needs some optimization work.”
“Obviously, an indie game is not going to be as optimized as some AAA one with a large team, but there is a line, and 24.6 GB memory use is way over it in my opinion.”
