This is a great game, the horses are pretty and all, but my two friends have this game and the day after my second friend got the game, she said she has 20,000 dollars!! She has all the upgrades, and all she says is "you have to upgrade the guest house" I try to, but nothing happens!! Please help!!

I enjoyed playing My Horse Farm although I would not think of it as to being quite how it was described on the back of the (rather strange)backcover.(!)

Should have been fun

It's a great concept and could have been a wonderful game. The graphics are just awful--not even good cartoons. There should be a playable tutorial to help newbies get started, but instead you just kind of stumble through it, learning as you go. Even with that, I hoped it might be fun once I got into it, but it crashes frequently. I wasn't expecting perfection but I certainly didn't expect to be this disappointed.

realistic

We had borrowed this from the library and I ended up purchasing our own copy. Very realistic, the kids have to take care of all aspects of their horses and learn how to run the farm. Keeping track of their money and expenses. My 8 yo enjoys it. My 5 yo has fun playing but still doesn't get the money part of it of course. I even enjoy it!

I love this game

I love this game but does anyone know if "My Horse Farm: Welcome to Trotterville" is the same thing as this? Are these 2 different games or is that one a sequel?

I have had this game for awhile. I like it, it is an ok game, the graphics are not that good but it you can get over that its really not that bad. I would say that anyone under the age of 11 would have a hard time playing this game because I am 15 and I would say thats it is hard to keep your horse farm going. What i found was the best way to do that is to keep breeding my horses. I do like the game and play it when i am bored but it is not addicting. I would give it a 3 out of 5.

could be Wayyyyyyy better.

The graphics are clear, but they are bad! Horses look nothing like that and it is really gross! I would say get it for the younger kids, because they won't care.

There is nothing to do with the game except earn money, build your hotel, and keep your horse from getting sick. You don't get to ride that often because it said "you have ridden enough for this round" and it is very enoying. you can't pay enough monay to keep more than one horse, but you need to jump them to earn money so you can build your hotel / parking lot / jumping corse / breeding paddock / ect. But you can't do that unless you can jump the horse alot, and you can't. It is easy to go 'bankrupt' so I would say this game is not for little kids because of the money dealing.

not for older kids because of the dumbness of the horses look, not for younger kids because of the money problems.
So don't get this game!

This game stinks

I bought this due to all the rave reviews, but the people who love this must never have played a realistic PC game like the Nancy Drew series or the SIMs. The graphics stink and the manual is almost useless. If anyone created a realistic horse game that was fun they would be a millionare from all the horse addicted girls and women out there. The best i've seen so far is the barbie game for the playstation.

This Game Looks Kool!

This software has the feel of kids software, but the overall skills required are for someone older. You have to run the horse through different training levels, which have to be done through the arrow keys. The programming of the arrow keys are cumbersome, if you hold down too long the horse will go too fast, if you try to slow it down it often walks or stops altogether. Then the jumps, the timing & speed has to be right, so you are working the arrow keys then using the space bar for the jumps. As the mom & adult I have trouble working the keys with the right speed & jumps to accomplish the levels within a proper time frame to not lose the farm (you can only take the horse out once in a day or round, & each day costs funds). Now the other problem I have with the software. You have to run this from the CD-ROM, you have no choice to do a full hard drive install. Since this is for a kid, I generally burn a copy of the original, so the cd going in & out isn't the original that would be scratched & no good within a few months. Well the makers of this software put a block on their cd. You can make a copy of the cd, but you can't use that copy to play the game in the cd-rom. They even talk about it in their license agreement - which they say you can make 1 copy for backup only - but what good is that backup copy if you can't play the game with it? So you will overall find this software frustrating, personally as the parent I don't think it is worth the money - live & learn.
