As a horse girl, would recommend. As a student with a budget, wouldn't recommend paying the full price - it's not worth it. The mobile version is very good and free! However, this is a great cozy game for people who like horses. I like the story even though I wish there was more to it - especially the "side stories". I love all the different races, cross country and show jumping and the horses are very pretty!

yes, very fun and realistic, this is by far the best horse racing game I have ever played. It doesn't take super long to get through all of the levels but it takes long enough that it keeps you busy for a while. I definitely recommend this over the phone version

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!
