We have had this game for about two weeks now and my 6-year-old daughter has played nothing else since we bought it. It was easy for her to figure out on her own, which isn't always the case with DS games. She loves to groom the horses and pick out riding outfits for Barbie. But her favorite thing is taking her horse through the jumping course and winning ribbons. There are a bunch of other activities and mini-games too. I would highly recommend this game to young girls, especially those who are horse-crazy like mine!

I'm always looking for games that are easy for non reader children. My daughter received her DS system when she was 4 and now that she is almost 5 years old, we have a pretty good collection of games for non readers. In Barbie Riding Camp, there are a lot of great activties to do. We still have not completed the game, but as of where we are now I can tell you somewhat about the game. The person playing the game is the character Barbie. Barbie will talk to several people throughout the game. The instructions are told to you in actual voices, so there is no reading involved (except for one part, the journal area). You start off the game in a week mode, on Monday. At the beginning of the week, you will be introduced to several people around the riding camp. You'll be instructed either by people or arrows, on where to go. You can go to the riding area, or to the barn, to the camp houses and the main manor, plus you can go on walks through the Forest and Beaches. Each day, you will unlock a mini game in the guest house. Here you will meet up with your friends Theresa and Nikki. There are several little mini games, like catch the firefly, round up the puppies and kittens, match game, trace the stars and a few more. In the guest house is where Barbie will change her clothes and also go to sleep. Each day you will be given task to complete, in order to advance to a new day (Tuesday would be next). Each task is shown to you in an example or someone on the ranch talks to you and tells you exactly what to do. Some chores that are given to Barbie (after she designs and chooses her horse), would be to care, feed, wash her horse, plus change her horseshoes and brush her horse. Also, you will take care of the barn, by nailing boards together and so on. Other task assigned to you, is to complete a riding lesson - you have to chase the stars and colect them all, follow the paths and look for the arrows. When it's time to jump a fence or post, you'll see a little popup at bottom of screen turn grey, brown and then green (green for press the pop up, then jump). You'll have to complete each assigment and course to advance. Barbie also gets to go on treks through the Forest to find things like a cottage or watch and along the way, the horse needs to eat apples and carrots. Some days Barbie and horse get to ride on the Beach. We have not completed the entire week yet, but that is pretty much the sum of the game. I'm sure your little girl will love it, it's for sure a girly, girl game

Hi I'm a 21 year old Autistic adult gamer...

I love the Barbie video games and yeah I'm 21 and watch all the barbie movies too. I'm a big Barbie fan!

This game is awesome it will keep you busy for hours on end plus it lot's of fun and you get to learn about horses and how to take care of them. I'm playing this game for a second time just because I like it. I learned so much about horses and how to take care of them I would recommend this game to any one of all ages not just younger kids. You can be Barbie fan no matter how old you are!

Buy this game you like it!

Do not buy Barbie 12 dancing princesses unless it's for the GBA the DS version is the same thing to a t as the GBA version so be forwarned. Save your cash and get the cheaper version go with the GBA version for Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses and yes it will work on your Original DS and DS Lite for those of you who didn't know that.

Happy Gaming!

My five year old enjoyed the game, but beat it in two days. Thankfully she still goes back to play it from time to time so it wasn't a total waste. If your child is new to DS games it should last longer.

My daughter loved this game; however, it only took
her one day to get through it. Not really worth
the price, I'm afraid.

My six and ten year old grandaughters really enjoy playing the Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp. They both took turns playing it!

This game is perfect for any horse loving little girl! My daughter says that this is her favorite game of all. She gets to learn about taking care of horses and play fun mini games at the same time. She has made it to the end of the game, but says that it's still fun because you can keep doing tasks to get better at them. She insisted I write this review, my first, to let other girls know how much fun this game is. :)

I thought my youngest daughter would love this game because she loves barbies and horses. But for some reason she played it once and never picked it up again.

I bought this game with my own money I was so excited but it only lasted a couple of hours I guess it was fun while it lasted but I would say it is a bit young for me the mini games where so easy that it did not take more than 2 min per mini game you can play it all over again but it is the exact same thing you cant even change your close id say for kids 5 to 7

I bought it for my daughter and she seems to really like it. Was quick and trouble free transaction. Thank you.
