Waste of Time

This game is impossible. Save your money and don't buy it! It really is not like taking care of a real horse! The time it took me to clean the hooves on this game I could have cleaned 5 of my real horses. I took it back, after the first night of playing it.

It is just a horrible game!

Warning: Extremely Boring

The graphics might rock, but the game is repetitive. Everyday you do the same thing: Wake up, Go to the barn at 0.5 miles an hour. Clean the horses & the stalls, and ride. Then you clean the horses again, walk at 0.5 miles per hour yet again, and go back to bed. I suggest not to spend your money on this game. My horse farm is a much better game.

Very Dissapointing

I was supremely dissapointed in this game---my computer cannot play it! My video card (a very recent version of 'Intel') is apparently not compatible, despite the fact that I have played other games with DirectX. While I do think the game would be great, I strongly suggest that anyone interested in buying check the website and make sure that their video card is not one of the several types that does not work.

If you are like me, and your video card will not work with the game, an excellent alternative is "Let's Ride: The Rosemond Hill Collection". That is also a good alternative for younger players as it is less complicated and requires less patience.

I ABSALOOTLY HATE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the worst horse game EVER! I could NOT get past the mountain terrain cross-country competition. I hate it more then whips!
Good things:
You can groom your horse.
You can trail ride.

Bad things:
There's barely any, but I wish they would invent a game just like it WITHOUT the mountain terrain competitions, so I could play it without hating it, making my horse sick of lack of grooming, and uninstalling it.
I hated it so much I gave it to a friend who really wanted it. Exept I abandoned to tell her it was difficult.

Originally my opinion of this game was very poor, however, it was due to the fact that my graphics card was not compatible with the game and made it somewhat unplayable and frustrating. Unfortunately I cannot change the star rating :\

Once that problem was fixed, it was a very enjoyable game to play and the mystery was engaging, even for an adult such as myself :-) There is another Saddle Up game that is just as good to play as well.

Difficult......

this game is not very fun.. but i never got very far because mine got messed up at the beginning, but your person is the slowest walker ever to be in a videogame! it took me five minutes just to walk in a circle.... This game is fun only when you are riding... nothing else....if you want a FUN FUN FUN horse game, go find another game... not this one... i love horses, and if i got further maybe i would like it....

Not great for the younger player

My daughter is seven, and she's pretty darned good at most computer games. She loves horses (not up close and personal, though), so her dad bought Saddle Up for her. She got the hang of riding the courses and doing the grooming tasks fairly quickly... but I think she's too young to solve the "challenges" in the game. And I'm just a dumb mommy, which means I'm no help at all.

The manufacturer's website offers NO hints at all. And the customer discussion forum is just full of comments from people who couldn't get the game loaded.

Many of the happy reviewers here seem to be teenagers. I would advise, dear parent, that you avoid buying this game if your kidlet is around the age of my own. She does enjoy the riding and grooming, but since we can't seem to get any further into the "adventure" side of the story, she has gotten bored and rather frustrated. Me, too!

DONT BUY THIS GAME!!!! PARENTS BE WARNED!!!!!

Horse games are about the only thing I play, and this one is definately the worst. The movements are hard to get used to and the graphics are not very good. If you're looking for a good horse game, I definately recommend "The Saddle Club" PC game.

Mediocre Riding Representation

The horses in this game are shocking! I have never seen a horse with such choppy gaits, you get sea sick just looking at it! Horses may not have suspension, but a horse would never make an eventer with gaits like that- think of the terrible scores they'd get in the dressage! The 'Adventure' section was better, riding around the trails was amusing enough.
