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 The game is very outdated and difficult to use.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

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!

This is a really bad game!

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!

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.

Let's Ride looks fun,but thats only the outside. When I got this game I thought it would be really fun.Here are some bad things about this game.

1.You can ride 12 horses but only 5 can be used in shows. 2.The lessons are soooooooooooo boring! All you do is listen to the instructor talk! You don't do anything! 3.You can't feed the horses not even treats. 5.The instructors treat you like a baby.

Anyways this game is really bad. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

No instructions were provided on how to play this game. It was very frustrating for me and my daughter. I wasn't even able to download from their website. Don't buy unless you are a genius.

Not the best buy

there are so many better games out there then this one. the graphics arent good at all. You dont get to ride in your lesson you just watch videos. The barn has 12 horses but only 5 can go 2 the show. The dressage you have to memorize your test, the cross country is horrible because if you gallop, you cant steer. The show jumping is ok but you cant turn if you canter. There are better games out there.

DON'T BUY IT! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

Sure, it looks like a really fun and exciting game to play but it's not. Only 5 of the 12 horses can go to the show. The riding lessons are REALLY boring and I think they don't help much. In the dressage, you have to memorize the course which I don't like. The cross country is totally lame and the show jumping is only OK. Even that part isn't really good. In the stables, the grooming is boring. You click on what you want to to use and then just click and drag over whatever part of the horse and there! the horse is groomed. The club room is very boring too. I would recommend Equestriad 2001 or Horse Illustrated which are both REALLY good games.
(note: after 2001 comes Serious Horseplay so if your search for it I'm not sure if you just have to put Equestriad 2001 or Equestriad 2001 Serious Horseplay)
