It works on our older computer-very fun..but if you have WIN XP- beware!
It won't even load..we have a new computer.
us eon older windows versions!

In this game, you are Barbie. You choose your horse's color and name. You get to bathe, brush, saddle, and give your horse treats. You can ride around just for fun on the pretty farm, discovering new places, or race other riders. Aslo, there are challenges on the bulliten board for you to complete.

This game is a lot of fun! It is pretty easy, so I reccomend it for younger horse lovers. But, I'm 13, and I still love this game.

Although this game has been around for a long time, I still play it. IT is fun and helps your child solv fun puzzles. It tells them a LITTLE about wildlife. Very good.

This game is wonderful. In my opinion, it is still the most realistic and simply..FUN horse computer game out there. You can choose from several varieties of horses to ride, and several names to call your horse, go on missions, and adventures, or just ride around for fun and groom and feed your horse. My kid sister and I have gotten so much enjoyment out of it over the years. However, I'm sad to say that that enjoyment has ended since upgrading to Windows XP. As someone else said, the game won't even load. This is a great game and I'd highly recommend it, but unfortunately, only those with Windows 95/98/ME systems can play it.

It's kinda sad, but even at 14, I still like this game. It has a good feel on what it's like to own and ride a real horse. (Of course I have, many times.) This is good for children and then once they get older, I recommend "Time to Ride".

I purchased this software second hand; I had high hopes based on the reviews, but did not have a five star experience. With all of Mattel's dollars, they could not produce a computer game that was interesting, didn't work at a snail's pace, and had some kind of real challenge for a six year old. This software isn't even a deal if it were free. You ride a course & occassionally jump over something. That gets old real fast. Teresa asks for the same race over and over again & the race is where you run straight & jump over two things. Supposedly you can pick "missions" for Barbie, but they didn't work. You can groom the horse which consists of washing her with a brush & then brushing. These challenges would be better fit for a younger child, but since the software freezes & glitches up consistenly, there's no age that this software is good for. Save your money for a better video game system!! So disappointing.
