My daughters love this game

So refreshing to see a "western" horse game. My daughters were always finding games about english riding styles like dressage and such, but we are a western riding family! Thank you Silver Buckles for getting my girls back to their western roots! The game is fun for them. Not terribly challenging for my oldest,(10), but the youngest, (6), will be enjoying it for some time. The advertisement that the game has many different breeds is a mystery, as all the horses look exactly the same, save different colors. That was very dissapointing. However, at least my daughters can pick and choose the colors. The girls enjoy being able to take the rider on foot through the trail riding area and to be able to chase bunnies and such while trail riding with the horses.

I have played a few other horse computer games and this game has the best graphics and you get personilize it. You get to change yourself and your horses to fit your mood of the day. You can ride your hourse in a open field or in riding events. They are both lots of fun. I play it when I can. I highly recommend this game to anybody that loves horses!

I bought this game for my seven year old daugther. She's had it for a while now and still loves it as much as she did the first day. And every now and then, you will find me sneaking a turn, just going for a run on the cross country course, or taking on the challenge of a barrel race around some trees in the woods. I would buy it again, and I am definitely going to expand on the "Let;s Ride" series.

A must have for barrel racing lovers!!

Wow, this game is a must have for anyone who likes barrel racing! The graphics are really pretty good, and as far as the horses, they're out of this world!!! True, it isn't as challenging as some horse games I've played, but it's very fun, and actually relaxing!(except when you have to compete at the "Equestrian Center") But all round, this game is really fun, I would highly recommend it!

Great game - for newer computers

Santa brought this game for my girls, who are 4 and 6. Both have really enjoyed playing the game - on my newer computer. They have their own computer - a 2002 Sony VAIO. It will not play on this machine. I have updated all the drivers and still no go. I read someone with Vista custom installed and did the same with no better results. Finally emailed support and did receive a prompt reply. My video card is too old to play the game. So be sure your video card meets the specs - 32MB 3D graphics and FULLY DIRECTX 8.1 compatible.

It's a great game for my kid's age as it becomes a little redundant after you've fed, watered and ridden a couple of times. But they don't care. They just change the horse's color or the like and keep on playing!

Fun for any horse lover

I received the game today and it was a little frustrating installing the game onto my computer because I have Windows Vista. If you are having the same problem with the wizard being interrupted like I did, you have to Custom install it and make sure you don't install the DirectX9 component. After I figured that out, the game installed and loaded like it was suppose to. The game works great on Vista, graphics are fabulous and much better than I expected. I like that you can ride around the farm without the game blocking you from different areas. You can ride the horse to the practice arena and back again, take off to other places if you want to.

I'm still practicing with the movements and with the different formations you can ride - but the directions are pretty straight forward. I really liked the tutorials in the beginning of the game to get acquainted with the game. Some games don't do that and you end up hunting down the tutorials if you have problems. This game is very easy and a joy to play. I only have it a few hours and I can tell it's going to be addicting.

Now that I had a pleasant experience with this game, I'll probably buy some of the others in the collection.

fun for a while

Silver Buckle Stables is not one of the best games out there but it still is fun. I like it that you can walk around barn and not just click for where you want to go. the game is fun at first, but after you've unlocked every thing and have gotton to the highest level there is'nt much to do. Some of the good points of this game are: it has pretty good graphics, it's very realistic, you can name your horses, and you can ride around in the fields just for fun. Some of the bad points are: it gets boring after a while,and the horses never eat the feed they're given unless they're practicaly starving.
one other extra detail is, If you hit Caps Lock the character will run.

ok, but boring and not much to do.

This game was not as fun as other games I have. This game you didn't get to do much, and the graphics are not too good. I have seen just about every horse game ever made for computers. This one was NOT the greatest. The was chopps and easy to practice, but hard to beet.

It's ok...

I think that this game is ok, if you just like to ride. You don't do much of learning how to take care of your horse, except to brush, bathe, feed, and water your horse. All you really do is just ride. There are a lot of horse combinations (color, markings) which I think is good...
It's ok if you like to win western competitions like barrels, and poles.
