By far one of my favorite apps, year after year
I started playing this between 2010 and 2013 on my kindle fire. It was fairly new then, and it rocked. Years passed and I found my kindle, still alive. Opened this app for old times’ sake. Still as awesome as it was back then!!
The horses move super realistically. The graphics are amazing and my original generation kindle fire can run it without issues. My fifth gen ipad got it today and it runs even better. The items are nice and the goals are fairly doable to a casual player.
The mini games are fun and the paddock one is original as can be. Feeding is a bit obnoxious but I’ve played for years without doing it, so it’s not really a big deal. The tack and mane/tail options are super cute! And we won’t go into the scenery because the detail is incredible. Also, the audio is pretty fun and adds to the overall experience.
My only complaint is that it takes forever to get cash, and only two of the horses can be earned with free currency. On top of this the shows have super small blue bars, a far cry from the big blue ones you practice with for shows. That’s not much when you consider the hundred plus hours I’ve spent in this app since I got it years ago. Really wish they’d offer some more coin horses or backgrounds, or do promos where you could get the gem horses for coins, but overall not even mad, as it’s too fun. It doesn’t really hurt that their main competitor went offline in 2014 I guess xD

It's a really good game, but needs more
Please the only reason why I have it one star is to get your attention. I really like this game, but can you add more stuff, like trail rides, you are actually in the saddle when you are riding (settings or a button that you can change your position while riding. Like with the pictures), maybe less expensive things too. It is impossible to achieve the any of the challenges without money, and it is so hard to get the money. Can you please make things cheaper or easier to get money? I always have fun doing this game in the beginning, but in the end it is too hard to get money, finish challenges , and eventually gets boring. Please at least try to makes these changes, or I will just keep going back and forth with this game. If you do make the changes I will eventually change my stars.

Settle down people!!! It's a great game except... updates
This game is great. SETTLE DOWN PEOPLE! I loves the game, but please add more horse breeds and horse breeding. The game would be way more popular if you could add more horse breeds also you should let there be more than one horse in the paddock at the time! Everybody is wishing for that. Well most people want more horse breeds. Haters why take the time to write hate comments? Write something good about the game. Your just wasting your time. Yes the game does need better stuff, but there is not reason to hate on the game. Obviously the game creators took a long time to make this game. Again when you write a hate comment on the the game your just probably jealous that you haven't created a game. The game is great just some people like hating on the game. Obviously the creators of the game are still working on it. Plus you haters don't know who those people are you might cause them to delete the game. Stop the hate. Yes there should be a few updates, but there's no reason to hate on the game be grateful that this game was created. Great game!

Warning :Highly addictive!
I had this game, but sadly it glitched out and changed languages-groan. But it's super simple to fix. All you do is delete it-yes it will delete all your progress. Cope- then connect the device to a computer. Simply re-download it on ITunes! But seriously, I could not get off once I began playing it. I don't see what the big problem with ads is. It's not like this is real life or anything. Come on people, it's a virtual game, what's the big deal? Any way, I thought it was brilliantly designed and very enjoyable. But I agree, there should be breeding and more than one horse allowed in a paddock, as well as leisure riding, cross country and dressage competitions, and the ability to 'tack up', as Horseytime has already stated.

Great but not perfect
This is a good game but unrealistic. For instance in a competition the horse isn't going to change its leading leg every stride, it will stay on the leg that it needs to make the upcoming turn. A show jumpers trot won't be so high. Therefore the movement of the horse needs an awful lot of work to look anything like that of a real horse. Another thing that would be nice to see is maybe a choice in the discipline of your horse for example a choice of doing dressage or eventing once in a while instead of constant show jumping. Another thing is why do you have trotting poles in a show jumping course. These are merely a training aid! It seems that the creators of this game have a) never seen a decent horse move b) haven't watched a horse competition and c) haven't done much research into the equine world. Although upon saying this the game is rapidly improving and I find it fun to play, I still can't help but laugh at the unco appearance of the horse :P
