This is a horrible game! The graphics are horrible and blurry, the horses are verrrrrryyy slow and they dont turn, and its really boring! The dressage is boring and slow, the cross country is impossible because the horses dont steer, and the stadium jumping a pain. If you want a good game, get Equestriad 2001. It has real-life jump courses, you can pick your country, and horse/rider (they're real people and horses too!) and it's really exciting and fun! It has everything this game has only 10 times better! The graphics are amazing, the horses are life-like, and there are a lot of courses. It's not available on amazon.com, but I've seen it in horse catalouges and tack shops. Let's Ride is only fun to kids 7-under, everyone else get Equestriad 2001! :)

This is the worst game I have ever purchased. The game is very outdated and difficult to use. The graphics are grainy and moving through the screens is ackward. Playing this game, I would imagine, is like playing a software game written in the 70's---it is archaic. I read the other reviews before purchasing this game and thought the software sounded good---because the reviews were positive. But trust me that this game is not a good one and the positive reviews were not accurate!!!

If you are 12 or under i do recomend this game. Although the graphics are not wonderful and it is hard to move around and find things while playing. I play a lot of horse games and this i must say wasn't the best. you first enter the game and immediatley wonder what to do. You can't change views so t is hard to see things at times, and when you are grooming a horse/pony in it's stall it s hard to find a way to quickly exit. I recomend this for younger children, but not girls who are horse crazy that are looking for something realistic.

I bought the game about a year or so ago from my local tack shop. I should have spend the extra $[] to get 'Mary King's Riding Star'. 'Let's Ride' is basically written in the Queen's English and the British measurements and all. The graphics are actually quite good in the stable, but that's about it. The lessons are easy and long. The actual showing portion is disapointing. Of the 12 or so horses the stable has, you can only use, I think, 5 of them. Cross Country is just running in a circle jumping logs that you can't always see. Dressage is nearly impossible to get passed the halt at X. Only show jumping is intersting. However, you often can't control the speed of your horse (always having to keep the speed on or never being able to slow down), the turns are way too tight, and refusals can come out of nowhere.
I recommed not buying this game. Go to a better game like 'Mary King's Riding Star', 'Farman Horse Racing', or any other game.

Sure the game looks great and sounds great in the store but as soon as it's home and on the computer it's horrible!!!The horses look strange, you can't take a lesson all you do is watch a video and answer questions. Stadium Jumping is okay it's not life like at ALL. You can't do cross country for you are going to fast, the trail is narrow and you can't see anything. Dressage is even harder for you have to get it exactly right and you have to memorize the test wich takes the fun out of it, you might as well be on a real horse at a horse show then trying to remeber it on a game. I recomend Horse Illustrated, Champion Season. DONT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

Please do not buy this game unless you want to be bored out of your skull. The horses look weird, the graphics are bad, and the lessons are soooooo boring! All you do is sit there and watch a video! I'd reccomend Stablemasters or Equestriad 2001 or Horse Illustrated Championship Season!

This game is an awesome game because it is a realistic horse adventure. This game has it all. From riding to grooming, this game certainly has many unique qualities and activities to work at and hopefully win. I have also played Let's Ride the Rosemond Hill collection. These games really help you learn to wok and share some responibility and it is a really fun game to play. This also teaches you to keep working at your dream to be a champion. (That is if you work hard enough for that dream.) This game could certainly enspire young riders to fufill their dream to be a winner. This definately is a wonderful and exciting gane to play.

Well, the game starts off real good. You get to groom your horse and pick which horse you will use in your riding lesson. but the only time you ever get to really ride the horse is when you are having your riding lesson (which is where you do hardly anything but listen to the instructor talk) and when you are in competitions. Besides that, you do NOTHING. i think the game is actually to TEACH YOU HOW TO RIDE AND MORE ABOUT HORSES than it is to have fun, comparing it to th Pippa Funnell games. you'll be wasting your time trying to get any fun out of it.

This game, in my opinion, was much too frustrating. I've owned it for about three or four years, and I still have yet to actually beat dressage! The controls are difficult, and even the "Advanced" level is elementary stuff. The most fun I had was with the paper doll game. If you're going to purchase a game, I highly recommend either "Saddle Up With Pippa Funnell" or "Equestriad 2001"

Sure, it looks like a really fun and exciting game to play but it's not. Only 5 of the 12 horses can go to the show. The riding lessons are REALLY boring and I think they don't help much. In the dressage, you have to memorize the course which I don't like. The cross country is totally lame and the show jumping is only OK. Even that part isn't really good. In the stables, the grooming is boring. You click on what you want to to use and then just click and drag over whatever part of the horse and there! the horse is groomed. The club room is very boring too. I would recommend Equestriad 2001 or Horse Illustrated which are both REALLY good games.
(note: after 2001 comes Serious Horseplay so if your search for it I'm not sure if you just have to put Equestriad 2001 or Equestriad 2001 Serious Horseplay)
