I'm enjoying this game but its almost exactly the same as Saddle Up With Pippa Funnell, which is also from UbiSoft. They repackaged it to work on the WII system and added a beach area and changed the plot a little. It IS a good game but I already own Saddle Up with Pippa Funnell. I probably wouldn't have bought this if I had known it was practically the same game.

I really wanted a simple pet horse simulation... without a preset plot to follow. Just a horse that you have to raise and train and keep happy and healthy. I'd like to be able to feed my horse apples occasionally and maybe race with my friends, or be able to choose equestrian activities or choose not to do them.

The game looks lovely and the WII controls are a nice fit to this game. Once I solve the plot, maybe I'll have the simple horse sim that I originally wanted. Maybe there will be some way to let me feed my horse apples. :D

First off, I should have known that this game would be awesome because the develpers are Ubisoft, the same guys who brought us Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Assassin's Creed...

The only complaint I have is the fact that there isn't much customization in the way of the human rider but honestly it is a minor flaw as the customization comes in the way of the horses.

One of the coolest things about this particular game is that you can breed the horses and raise new foals to compete in the local or international championships...

I am absolutely blown away by the way you control the horse. For example there are three different gaits and you determine the gait by how slow or fast you move the Wii controller. *you hold it in your hands and move it the way you would hold the reins as if actually horseback riding*...

I mean there is so much to do *that I haven't mentioned* and I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Currently I've just bred my first foal, *a pretty black mare Fresian that I've named Raven* about to enter my first local championship and hopefully soon I will get my coveted white horse :-)

They really should have charged more for this great game but if you want a nice horse game with great controls and pretty graphics this is a must buy.

I bought this game as a 6th birthday gift for my daughter, and she likes playing it because she loves animals, but since she is not a strong reader yet I have to read the subtitles to her.. She is not able to play on her own.

Some of the scenes have picture directions and characters who speak. It would have been easy to make the game playable for younger children. I did not think that the description of the game on the box was accurate. The game runs you through a story, but you cannot raise horses???

My older daughter,15, who reads well does not like the preset story line.

Would be a good game for a young reader - maybe second grade and up?

We had bought this because our 7 year old loves Nintendogs and thought this would make a great addition. Boy, were we ever wrong. After almost 12 hours of non-stop "playing" on Easter Sunday and one 7 year old girl ready to cry, we are done with this game. It is not possible to keep the darn foal healthy. Both of us parents and our daughter have "worked to earn money" in the game but it is just not enough to buy all the stuff the foal needs. Or at least you can't earn it fast enough. We might try starting a new game tomorrow and see if it's possible NOT to visit grandpa to pick up the foal. Just work with the horse because that's a lot easier. As of right now I would recommend not to buy this game.

I really loved this game. Using the Wii is like riding a real horse. I got this game for my neice but I liked it so much I bought myself one. I like the story of the girl trying to save her uncles ranch by competeing in the compitions. You have to do the traing by finding the trainers (you have to ride around and look for them) then you do the local compitions to get federation points then you go to nationals all while haveing to deal with the bad guys how don't want you to win. Fun game and I enjoy it very much.

Got this for my 6 and 8 yr old horse-crazy daughters. I am about to make this game "disappear". It has resulted in non-stop whining and shouting at the TV. They are driven to play it because they love the story and tasks, but within minutes they are crying and frustrated because they can't control the horse. Controlling the horse uses a combination of the nunchuk and wii remote and it is not very easy. My husband and I have both tried and found it difficult, but do-able. But we are adults...for kids, it seems very frustrating. We have Barnyard and Pirates of the Caribbean, which use similar controls, and they are able to work those well enough, so it must be something about this game. I would not recommend this for young kids.

Somewhat difficult to get the horse to move at times. The 10 and 6 year old have really enjoyed this game and I think it is a very good learning tool for preparing a child for a real horse.

My daughter loves this but gets frustrated when she can't find the instructors and she wants to do something but the game makes her answer the phone or clean the horse first. It would also be nice if she could use her feet to control the horse like real riders should.

My daughter likes this game and I think it is enjoyable as well. You feel like you are ride the horse because of the controls. It is nice that it is like a story game and not just caring for a horse. It is a shame since it is a wii game the the character don't talk during the game only in the game movies that kid of brings the game down and the wii is suppose to be so top notch with its mega memory and stuff I would think characters talk throughout the game wouldn't be a problem. Would I get this game again? Yes for my daughter she likes animals for myself not as it lacks action and story telling but it is a good game for animal loving girls and even a boy can enjoy it to if they like animals.

This game is awesome, its taken me a week to finish the storyline, can be very intense at times. Loved the interaction between Lily and her horse, and she won some beautiful horses at the various competitions. I don't know if there are different endings, but the ranch was saved, and after all the credits were done playing lily comes back on and Edie tells her she can train for another competition, Lily works for the Federation now, so will see what thats about.Good game, hope Ubie comes out with another horse game for wii.
