Sept. 2025
Love this game! It doesn't take up much space and it has tons to offer for the horse experience, and the graphics are GREAT! I love to play the Sims 4 more than anything but when you have a small laptop and don't have much to choose from when it comes to disk space it's an amazing choice. They have 7 different horse breeds to choose from and you can even BREED your OWN foals! The horse breeds include.... - Thoroughbred - Selle Francais - Quarter Horse - Appaloosa - Akhal-Teke - Arabian - Mustang - Anglo-Arab I love the fact that this game is (again lol) of small size but still has so many updates and quirks to the game-play. It offers things such as steeplechase, flat-racing, and cross country. Another thing I love is that once you make it to Prestige 20 (this are what they call the "levels") you can race and breed to your hearts content and even MOVE horses to the PASTURE! - Things I Wish the Game Included (which is surprisingly not much) 1. I wish the game had more of a different POV. For example I wish there was more to feeding, exercising, and tacking the horses. I'm a big "I want a lot of detail" gal, but doesn't make me dislike this game one bit. 2. I wish the story had a little more interaction, like detailed videos of what happened instead of the characters just popping up with dialogue. I honestly would even be satisfied if the characters had their voice actors actually say the dialogue, such as Francis Kwan's voice saying he hates Richard would be quite hilarious. And that is my honest opinion about this game. It's definitely a grind type of game, so if you love to curl up with something to snack on and drink, with a movie in the background (and an undoubtedly big love for all things horse), you've found the perfect game!

On the mobile game I wanted to mainly focus on getting a pretty horse with good stats, but the time it'd take and the need of micro transactions to get different breeds of horses really limited how much I enjoyed playing. On desktop, I can breed horses as much as I want, especially since the foaling time and foal training can be sped up with very easy to get coins. You also get the option to purchase/breed multiple breeds of horses. Not to mention how customizable your beginning horse is + any future horse you want to create

After just less than 50 hrs of playtime, completing the entire story line, breeding the highest rated horse possible with maximum stats, trying every free roam area, and completing all possible races... yeah this game is mint. Good story line, easy to understand and play, achievable goals throughout the game, lots to do and see. My only suggestion would be have more to the free roam. For example, add more actions that you can control such as pawing the ground, rearing, walking (rather than always cantering everywhere), grazing, etc. Even if these actions don't "do" anything, they just add to the realistic feel of the game and allow you to immerse yourself in the world. And please please PLEASE increase the free roam space!! Would rather a bigger map than a new area map.

I liked the game, but they could put some time into updating the desktop version. The mobile has a bunch of new horse breed while the desktop has the same, what like, 3 or 4 breeds. I like the patterns and what not but more breeds please

I love playing this game when I'm dealing with major depressive episodes. It doesn't take much effort, and it's got very calming music. Plus, horses. 10/10
