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! :)

Terrible software

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 The game is very outdated and difficult to use.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!!!

It's Fun for Young Girls

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.

SOME ADVICE FROM ME

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!

It looks better than you think

This game was boring! I like the barbie horse game better! DON"T BUY IT

1. All you do is watch the instructor talk in lesssons. They don't even tell you the right stuff. Do you pot by going back than foward? I don't think so!

2. The only time you can controlll your horse is in the ... shows.

3. The horses are mad ugly (well ponies because that is all they really have!)

4. The graphics stink!

Dont Judge a game by it's COVER!!

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!!!!!!!!

Not worth it

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.

FUN! If you never rode a horse in REAL LIFE!

I am an itermidate rider and all this game does is try to teach you how to ride. Or at least thats what they try to acomplish. I learned nothing not even in the Advanced course. Grooming is a little fun. The eventing would be if the graphics were not prehistoric. The new Let's Ride! is 100% better! (Riding Star/Equestriad/Chamipionship Season) Hey if you want to but this game to learn 2 ride, spend your money on a REAL RIDING LESSON

LET'S RIDE

i got this game a while a go and i absolutly hated it. I ride horses in real life and most horse games its pretty fun to make fun of the mistakes and stuff and ride the horses but in this game all they do is go through really long lessons. And the lessons arn't even controlling the horse. All you do is sit there forever listening to the lady go on and on about how to ride a horse. Even if you can't ride, listening to a computer isn't going to help at all!
