Don't expect too much with this game : (Apr 21, 2006
I got this game for Christmas 2005. It was okay. Here's a total review of it.
Riding-
There only three places you can ride.
1. The Practice Ring- In this one you're suppose to be practicing. You follow these arrows around a bunch of barrels and this *DING* goes everytime you follow the arrow. I enjoy crashing around the barrels and riding at break neck speed around the corral.
2. The Competition- You do the same routine as the practice. Sometimes when you're going around the barrel a girl will shout "Yeehaw!" or something like that. If you win the competition the crowd cheers and a lady shouts "The Champion!" (she shouts something before that but I can never tell what it is because the crowd is cheering to loudly). Each time you go to a new competition the color of the barrels change. The course is always the same.
3. The Pasture
If you are expecting to be riding through beautiful spectacular landscape you will be crushed. All the pasture really is is a field with a fence around it and a pretty background. You can race around these barrels which is kind of fun. One good thing about the pasture is it gives you a different barrel course to try. My favorite part (even though this isn't why they created it!) is to ride at really fast all around to the outskirts of the pasture.
The Characters:
Horse- you can only have 1 horse and if you change his colors they always go back when you exit the game (I've tried it several times) so you'd better choose the color you really want when you click the new game button. The saddles are nice and so are the blankets but the horse looks so short. He looks like a big Shetland pony. The reins look like giant strings. It is fun to name your horse though and its also neat to see its foot print when it moves around (in the competition, pasture, and practice.)
The Rider- the rider is kind of nice. You can personalize her by changing her pants, boots, shirts, and hats. She never smiles though but always has this scowly expression on her face except in the competition/practice/pasture then you can't see her face because of her huge hat(unless she looks back).
The Stable-
Nice very nice- if you could ever use it! The backgrounds are beautiful but you can never ever clean your horse or clean out its stall. Also there are about twelve stalls but you can only have one horse. Totally crazy.
The Stall-
Your horse has a huge stall complete with a window and a whole lifetime supply of hay. The corky thing is your horse never poops and he never has to have his stall cleaned. Totally unre
Taking Care of Your Horse
Grooming-You have this dinky little sponge thing which you wave over your horse's back. You can do it as quick/long as you want which means they don't really care if you do it or not.
Feeding- all you can feed your horse is apples and maybe carrots. You don't ever have to water him.
Glitches-
I've never really experienced really bad technical trouble. Sometimes it takes the game a while to load and sometimes it freezes (I think the freezing problem is my computer).
If the horse turns his head back and you press the right/left arrow key the horse begans to walk in a circle and the top/side rider's hat dissapears for a second. It's kind of funny because she's totally bald (besides her ponytail).
Scrapbook- the scrapbook doesn't work for me :(. It was the part I was looking forward to most (sniff). Mine does little video clips of you riding. I like it a lot :).
Well there's my review. This game is fun [...] go ahead and buy it. It is fun for the first couple of weeks. I recommend it for little kids more than kids my age (10 and up).

 A Good Game...but not a lot to doJan 25, 2005
This game is pretty fun. You can pick your rider's clothes and hair and your horse's coat, mane, saddle and pad. You can also name the rider and horse.
You can ride in the practice corral (which is totally easy and you can be a pro once you play it a few times), ride in a pasture (this is not quite so easy, you have to finish the courses within a few seconds. I'm not even past the second one yet!) Then you can ride in a competition. In the practice corral and pasture, there are arrows in the ground to follow, and in the competition there aren't any arrows, but there's a path that you follow and it's very easy--easy enough that the first few competitions I was in I won first and second place. The pictures and awards you got you can view them in the Scrapbook and print them out. There isn't a lot to do, but still I find this game fun.

A Really Great Game!Jan 26, 2005
I really love this game! It's a lot of fun, even though there are only three games. The pasture game is hard and me and my sister haven't gotten past the second course yet.
When you first get in, you can pick your rider's hair, clothes and name her. Then you can also pick what your horse's coat, mane, saddle, saddle pad and name it. Then you can practice riding, be in competitions, and ride in the pasture. Then pictures of you and your horse are saved in the Scrapbook and you can print them out. It's a really cool game.

 Short game, not worth the money.Jul 04, 2006
By Horseback rider
"Alyssa"
I got this game for Christmas a while back, and only recently did I start playing with it again. This game is the easiest to beat, and I have no doubts at all that a four year old could beat the game within a few hours.
First of all, "decorating" your character is just picking the color of your character's shirt, pants, hat, and shoes. Which, by the way, is not a large selection. The horses lack selection aswell.
Second of all, there are only three options when you finally start the game. You can practice, show, or do the impossible stunts in the pasture.
PRACTICING: Simply being timed while running around three barrels. Gets pretty boring.
SHOWING: The same barrels and same competition everytime. Even the scenery is the same, no matter what competition, but oh, the colors sometimes change.
PASTURE: First in the barrels, then impossibly timed patterns.
There is also a glitch that occurred on my game, where you could get a zebra or a giraffe (colored) horse. I got both while I could, which made the game a little more fun. But then, once I beat the game with both, it seemed useless to keep them.
Once you beat the last show, that's the only show that you can go back too. It's extremely easy to beat this game, except for the pasture patterns, which are just frustrating.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. It is NOT worth it's price. As a Western rider myself, I am sorely dissapointed in just about the only western horse game made.

A pretty fun gameNov 17, 2005
This game is fun, but there's not much to do. Dress and name your person, pick out the color of your horse and its tack, and then feed and groom your horse--if you want to.
Then you can ride. There's only three places: the practice ring, competitions, and in the pasture. It's pretty fun barrel racing, but that's really all the riding you're supposed to do.
You get a riding scrapbook, too. While you ride, the computer will take pictures of you. After riding you can go to your scrapbook and find some pictures. There's not always pictures in the practice ring, but after you've completed a competition, there's always a picture of you.
And also, you can save up to six games at a time.
This game wasn't disappointing when I got it, but I'd probably like it better if there was more to do.
And even if I was acting like I didn't like the game, I really do, but there's just not very much stuff to do: pick out your person and horse, feed it and groom it, and ride in three places.
Yes, it's fun, but there isn't very many things to do.
