### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-25, version 1.75*

Love this game and like if if you do a dressage one to it to?

### 5/5 — Love game but wish  everything was open to everybody

*2026-08-25, version 1.75*

Wish everything was opened to everyone and that we had dressage

### 5/5 — Customize horses and more ways to get gold on mobile

*2026-08-24, version 1.75*

So I fell like we can be able to make our own horse coats in different breeds and add like more ways to get gold on mobile

### 5/5 — BEST GAME

*2026-08-23, version 1.75*

It’s so kid friendly and has lots of great ideas and it doesn’t take money !

### 5/5 — Love This Game, But I Have. Suggestion

*2026-08-23, version 1.75*

First of all I love, love this game, it’s so much fun and the graphics are amazing. I love all the different styles of horse riding you can do, I only wish one was added, dressage. I just love, love, love dressage, I think it’s a really elegant and a beautiful way to ride a horse. Now I know the whole controversy over it and how some people think it’s abuse to the horse but tbh not every single horse that competes or does dressage is in an abusive situation. It’s all up to the trainer and the rider, yes some horses are in abusive situation but thats because of them. So all i ask of the game developers is to consider adding dressage to the game, it would be so much fun if you did!

### 4/5 — The best game except need some upgrade, so please read

*2026-08-23, version 1.75*

So I love this game so much, but I really wish that they would upgrade it where you can change the color of your stalls and can you change the stall shapes.

### 2/5 — Awesome game

*2026-08-22, version 1.75*

I started playing rival stars when one of my friends recommended it. I thought it would be an average horse racing game that would have had quality and very glitchy but when I joined the game I realised just how wrong I was. Rival Stars has awesome graphics and realistic commentary. Super fun and REALLY addicting to play! Love this game!!!!! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this horse game

*2026-08-22, version 1.75*

It is definitely very fun I love how it offers steeplechase not that many games offers it and the graphics are amazing

### 1/5 — Help!!

*2026-08-22, version 1.75*

I create a team, no one is able to join, and I am unable to join a team no matter how many times I restart my game 😭😭

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-22, version 1.75*

I mean, the desktop version is better but still, I love all my horses! I wish I could do more instead of having to get star club, I didn’t even know about this game until seri pixel biologist played it!
