### 5/5 — Isla

*2026-06-08, version 1.1*

I just don’t know how to get anything

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2024-12-31, version 1.1*

Don’t get me wrong, I REALLY love horses. But when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. Seeing & completing the quests were really nice, but I noticed changes. The horses that followed me were kind of sliding, and their legs didn’t move at all. Plus, I was constantly on the move, because Ambush Attacks happened a lot. 

Overall, the game could be improved.

### 5/5 — it’s so bad it’s addicting

*2024-05-10, version 1.1*

this is so funny it’s so bad but it’s so good

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-04-22, version 1.1*

I’m 11 and my mom is picky about the games I play and she doesn’t like online multiplayer games . She is like a cop 👮🏼‍♀️.she even has this game I love it 😍.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2024-01-25, version 1.1*

Not much to do boring and I just don’t see anyone actually wanting to play it there are so many better horse game’s out there there is just to much that Needs to be fixed in this game

### 1/5 — Things about the game

*2023-08-13, version 1.1*

One you can’t even choose what horse you want to what are you post to do in their free I decide you don’t play that game because it is absolutely rubbish you can’t do anything on there it’s just really bad ever made this game is rubbish at making those games

### 1/5 — No logic here …!

*2023-07-01, version 1.1*

While there is great grafts in the game; horses eat grass and in the game grass is EVERYWHERE but you can’t eat it…this is not logical for horses, having to find your family and water is logical and protecting your territory is something horses would do and having to fight connivers would be…but fighting a rabbit doesn’t make since, rabbits and horses don’t fight for the same place they would live together. This game has A LOT of UNNECESSARY action that drains your energy.	
NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!!!

### 3/5 — Kinda boring

*2023-02-19, version 1.1*

This game is BORING

### 1/5 — Meh

*2023-02-04, version 1.1*
