I bought this game, wanting my PS2 Horse Video Games collection to grow. This is probably one of the best you can get, I love this game, you can have six horses, take care of them, train them, and then compete. This is a great game and you should add it to your collection! If you like this game, you should also try: Horsez, Lets Ride: Silver Buckle Stables, Gallop racer: 2004, and The Breeders cup. these are fabulous games!!

This game is absolutely gorgeous!!! It has no story-line, but those are my kind of games- unlimited play. You can have up to six horses, and you have to earn better equipment and stuff. It has the best graphics I have ever seen,too. it really looks like a horse it's so realistic. You cannot free-ride on trails or anything, though. So I just take my horse on the Cross Country course and walk around most or all of the jumps. It is the best game ever, and all horse and 3-day event lovers should own it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this game is soooooooooooooooo fun!!!! you get to choose your horse and add to it's stats after each show or good training session. Also if u do good in show u unlock show outfits and tack. I would highly reccomend this to all ages. if u are a parent looking for a great game for your horse luver BUY THIS FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is probably the most realistic game i have ever had. I cant stop playing it. I love the events. Although the controls are hard to get used to.

Even though i love it, the game doesnt last long. [..].I would HIGHLY reccomend this game. Although i would prefer it if you could walk around the farm rather then just be able to scroll around.

If none of this made sense to you then it basically says: BUY THE GAME, ITS AWSOME!!!!!!

My daughter is extremely horse crazy. We had bought several PC games for her to play, but some were not compatible with our computer. After 2 games being returned I decided to look for a PS2 game, because that is what my son plays his games on. Long story short she loves the game and competes with her freinds in something that she absolutely enjoys. Graphics are good and game content is good. We are very satisfied.

I bought this for the kids for Christmas and decided to test drive it myself first. It has great graphics, several levels, realistic courses and is the best I've seen on the market. I couldn't make them wait until Christmas so we've been playing it now for almost two months. The older kids (teenagers)beat the game in about a week but still find it entertaining by creating new horses and starting over with their new horses. The younger kids, ages 7 and 10, are still working their way through the levels. I'm very pleased with this purchase!

This is a great game, and I have been trying to get my hands on a really great horse game for a very long time. When I read over the reviews for the game, I wanted to get it right away. Once I got it, I started to play it in my car because I loved it so much is basically what I am trying to say. So to sum it all up, BUY THE GAME!!! It is so fun and you sould know for yourself.

I think overall that this game is perfect for horse crazy people. However I have just one glich on the game. In Badminton, four star, on jump seventeen I can't jump over it. I have tried going over it with my horse at several different paces. Eventually though I found out that is I run my horse at a canter around the jump for twenty times, and then tried to jump, I could. Hope that this can help someone if they have the same problem.

This game is really cool! I wanted something realistic and not cheesy, as I'm an older gamer, and not pre-teen. I love that this game has all of it. The jumping, the dressage, and the cross-country. Like all games, it's not PERFECT, but it's pretty darn close! I really liked this game overall.

Allow me to begin by saying that of all the horse-related video games out there, this is one of the best. It is based on English-style riding and competing: events include jumping, dressage, and cross-country. The game is only one-player, which is unfortunate because it would drastically improve the fun-factor to be able to race against or compete with your friends. The game is more strategy-based than hands-on excitement. In the jumping events, you simply guide your horse to the jumps and he does all the work. In the cross-country event, you have a bit more control. You control the horse's speed and direct him to the jumps (though he still automatically jumps without input from you) and how tired he gets and his trust in you are controlled by your handling. Dressage is done cleverly (but its a bit too easy, if you ask me). It's a concept similar to Guitar Hero, in which the controller buttons scroll across the screen and you have to hit the correct buttons at the right time (with the music) and your horse obeys according to your accuracy. Though the game is somewhat entertaining and mildly challenging, it gets a bit dry and boring after the first few competing events. It will appeal to those who enjoy playing SIMS and similar games that involve lots of time spent on creating and building up a character. For the folks who need fast-moving, intense excitement in their games, you may want to pass on this one. All in all, it's not one of those games that you can't tear yourself away from, but it is one of the few horse games that allow you to actually interact with and control your horse.
