This game is fun and all, but it could use improvments..... Graphics for one thing but the most confusing thing is when you have to muck out the stalls everything is fine until u have to go outside and dump it then u can't get back in!
it's pretty good as a riding sim, but it has it's flaws.

People don't need to bash this game so much. Yes it has it's flaws, but it's a cheep quality game, so that's what you expect! Seriously, I highly doubt the designers intended it to be a best seller. So of course, it has it's flaws. Get used to it.
I'm tried of hearing kids go "I ride horses and real life blah blah blah" whatever, anyone who reviews like that is just looking for a chance to brag. Almost anyone I know who would buy a game like this rides horses or has their own, I do too! But I'm not going to throw my real life expeirence into the game just to bash it. It obvious that these people know nothing about video games...rarley ever are simulators true to what they're trying to portray. OMG!!! LIKE, on the SIMS!!! It's so crappy and unrealistic! I don't go to school everyday and I can like, do stuff that they can't do. Well, you know what? I'm also not 3 inches tall and made of polygons!!
It's called a game for a reason.
That being said, the game has it's good points...Yes the wheelbarrow thing is a pain in the @$$. Especailly if you're too close to the door when it closes, it will knock you into the neighboring stall and you'll get stuck. But it goes with he quality of the game. It wasn't designed to be a best seller.
And I get tired of walking back and forth to put the tools back, but oh well. The good points of the game makes up for it. True, Melissa is overly mean and John is ugly (and gay I'd bet) and overly nice, but who cares!? it's still pretty neat how you get to take care of the horses...I like how they tried to make it as realistic as a sim would allow.
I think though, that it was way to short. They could have added some other elements, like breeding.
The only thing I'm really ticked about is the way the competetions are. In my game, I'm convinced it's impossible to beat Melissa. I saw where one person said they've beat her every time. We'll, I'd like to know how! I swear I've done everything I possible can in the comeptetions and no matter what, she always comes out first. I've been constantly beating my own top scores, and each time I score lower, she does too! There's 20 seconds between me and the third place person! When I was getting that speed, so was Melissa. Take the first jumping competition. I make 30 secs...she does 28. I make 29, she does 27, I do 28, and she makes 26!! I have no penalties what so ever, but it's plain to see that her score is affected by mine each time. Or else she wouldn't be getting lower and lower...she'd be doing the same.
I'm cutting all the corners, running my horse into the ground practically. So whoever can beat her, e-mail me at jessica.pearson@earthlink.net cause the way it is now, I'm thinking my game is rigged.
Great, but fast

I thought it was a great game but it went by to fast. I mastered this game in 1 day. It was pretty cool, then I wouldn't have gaven it 4 stars. It's cool how you can ride 5 horses in total, you start out with 1 horse, but you can ride two of your friends horses. As you go threw competitions you get to choose out of some horses if you come in 1st,2nd,or 3rd,but you can only win two.
What an AWESOME GAME this is!

This is a really fun game! It's so fun how you can take care of your horses--feed, groom, put them in the pasture, ride, and more!
If you win the competitions, you'll get a chance to get a new horse! And they all have different speeds--some slow, some fast, some jump more far than others...they're all so interesting!
And if you don't take good care of your horses, they won't perform as well in the competitions. So you have to take good care of them if you want to win the competitions--and new horses!
This is such a fun game, because it's YOUR responsibility to take good care of your horse.
This is a great game--you should get it.
How to beat Melissa

Okay, sorry if this sound insulting, but you guys have it COMPLETELY wrong about beating Melissa. You can beat her on ANY horse, even Alpha in the last competition. You get a higher score by practicing. You may already know a course and can be able to jump okay, but the more you do a course, the better chance you have of beating Melissa. Sorry, I got tired of reading all these reviews saying you can only beat her with Cocktail or blah blah. WRONG. If you do the Steeplechase and Cross and Show Jumping at least 5-10 (do it more the harder the level), you can beat her. (No faults still, of course)
There, does that help you? You can beat Melissa on ANY horse. Even Alpha.

i really liked this game. i think legacy of rosemond is the best. when you start your aunt has died, and you get her horse, alhpa. you train alpha and then you have to different stuff in the barn for him- like gromming and feeding him. after you do well in a compition you can get a new horse. my favorites are cocktail and sunny girl. the bad thing is that you can only have 3 horses at a time and if you want a new one you have to get rid of another. i also don't like that the girl you play moves so slow and i am always getting stuck with her. but besides that this is a good and fun game!
Worth the money

I was reading the reviews for this game and I was very shocked by some of the reviews it got! I have every horse game (computer,PS2,X-Box,exc.)and I never played a better computer horse game ever! If your child likes horses then this is a very good game for you to purchase. Do not listen to some of these reviews because they are true and fair to this game!
I sure hope this review helps!
This game is fun...

THis game is pretty fun, but it does take a long time. If you know how to operate the keys on the keyboard, Alpha (or another horse) will go and if you shave edges off on the jumper course, you'll beat Melissa! This is very hard to do, trust me... Also, what helped me was writing down what i have to do before each comp. (cleaning out comet's stall, taking rocky out) so if i have trouble in another game, I can go back to what I wrote and do it. At the end, with the dance, that's kind of wierd and awkward, and the people look like robots. Rather than dancing, I'd rather be riding.
I don't get what the liniment from the cabinet does. It doesn't really do anything!
Make sure that you go in the lounge often. Sometimes there will be phone calls with your family or an interview! That's really fun because you choose what to say!
Overall, this game is ok...
Oh, and if you have nothing to do, you can ride comet, rocky, or talk to melissa or john! That's fun...
TOO GOOD FOR WORDS

This game is AWSOME. Although it took me a while to figure out how to unlock the 4th competetition i kept going because i just loved it!!!! Unfortunately my dog ate the disc so i have to wait for my birthday to get a new one. My friend has it and she finds it hard to do the apple part but i got her past and now she cant get off it!!!!!!!!! I just cant explain how good this game is as it is truely too good for words but i can explain what happens.
Basically at the beginning you start out with a horse called Alpha. He is extremely slow at the beginning but you train him and he becomes faster.
The first competition is very easy to unlock however not as easy to win. I ALWAYS come second but sometimes im even lucky enough to come first. If i win this competition i win the other aswell.
The second part if you win you get the choice of more horses, you get the choice of 6 horses but normally you get the choice of 4. You can only pick ONE of the horses and more often than not it is very hard to choose. Ok so it isnt the most realistic game but who cares? If you love the game then it doesnt matter!!!
I have just one way to conculed this review..................
BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!!!!!
For all horse lovers, and dont let your dog get hold of the disc!!!!!!!!!!!!
