    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being boring, repetitive, and lacking a storyline, with controls that are unnecessarily difficult and mechanics that feel subpar compared to other horse games. Despite these issues, some players appreciate the accurate horse anatomy and animation, suggesting it may still appeal to dedicated fans of the genre. Overall, the experience is described as linear and uninspired, with graphics that have not evolved since 2008.

    • “The actual riding isn't enjoyable at all, and the mechanics feel like a mediocre version of every other horse game like this ever made (e.g. Silver Buckle Stables).”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a storyline, which contributes to a perception of boring and repetitive gameplay. It seems best suited for casual players or horse enthusiasts rather than those seeking a more engaging narrative experience. Overall, the absence of a story is a significant drawback for many reviewers.

    • “There is no storyline; the gameplay is boring and repetitive, and the controls are unnecessarily hard.”
    • “I believe to play this, you need to be a horse fan who isn't too serious about gaming since there's no storyline and it is very simple.”
    • “The game doesn't have any storyline at all, just as a heads up.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that a significant portion of their playtime—around an hour—was spent on repetitive tasks like caring for horses and leveling up stats to progress in competitions.

    • “It took about 8 hours for me to beat all of the competitions, and my biggest complaint is that probably an hour of that was spent caring for horses or grinding stats to get to the next competition.”
