My Riding Stables: Your Horse world Reviews

I played this game a lot when i was a kid. Didnt know that it was on steam so when i saw it i bought it. Obviously the graphics/gameplay is nothing like how games are made now, but still it is a decent game. I could play hours and hours on it. Id recommend this game for little horse lovers who really want to play a goal to goal game (you can take as long as you want achieving the goals though!)

I can't say too much, as this looks like an older game re-released on Steam many years later, but even taking that into consideration, this game is lacking. Let's do my usual list - [b]Pros:[/b] - Like the inclusion of horse breeding. - I like the fact you have three different "play modes", if you will. But I don't think they're any different from each other! (I simply wasn't intrigued enough to play them all - I just finished all the tasks in "stable manager/horse breeder" (whatever it is called...) mode.) - The game has a set of tasks that the player can follow to progress. - This game can be ran on a Windows 10 system with seemingly no fuss. - Gameplay is simple and well signposted - simple enough for kids to pick up. - When you hover over a part of the horse whilst grooming, a little label comes up with the body part. Good for teaching kids basic equine anatomy! - I'm by no means an expert, but the horse's gaits seem okay to me. The animation looks fluid. [b]Cons:[/b] - My biggest complaint is the [i]inexplicable, unexplained lagging*[/i] whenever there are characters on screen. It's AWFUL. All inputs are severely delayed by the lagging. Want to jump without knocking the bars on an obstacle down? No such luck here, if you're facing towards the farm! Whenever there isn't NPCs on screen, it runs absolutely fine! *(And no, before anyone moans "it's just your PC!", I don't have a super fancy gaming PC, but my laptop should be able to run this just fine. Maybe it's down to system incompatibilities, since this game is almost certainly pre-Windows 10. I am not technically-minded enough to know why the lag is so severe, but it is. It's horrendous! - Oh my goodness, the models. [strike]Star Stable who?[/strike] (sarcasm) I know this is an older game, but the horse models are just something else. Not the worst I've seen, but they're bad. Why are the faces so flat? The NPC models are even worse - they're enough to scare a small child. - Time either moves far too fast or too slowly. Again, this is affected by the lag from NPCs on screen. - Whatever you do, [b]do not click on an NPC more than once![/b] Their dialogue can glitch out and you'll hear your character and the NPC greeting each other on loop for about 2 minutes. It's funny the first time, but not so much when it keeps happening. - The horse's gallop is ridiculous. You go from a nice steady canter to becoming an actual rocket. I know horses are fast, but they aren't "rocket" fast. In conclusion... a nice, cheap game for young kids? Sure. But no more than that. [strike](Please ignore the 20 hour playtime I accrued. This was for, ahem, thorough testing.)[/strike]

Horrible graphics, horrible storyline and controls..heck Petz: Horzes 2 a 2008 game is better than this!

This game is not worth your attention and money. There are a lot of other horse games which are much better. Graphics wise. But also the game play. This game will not give you some tutorials on how to do things. Like brushing, training, giving lessons, setting up an tournament... To name a few. This game has potential if you ask me. But it is not executed well.

The horse game that i have owned for years , yet now all of a sudden apparently , I Cant save my game play anymore or even get past beginner stage, wont let me build guest house, i am fuming, waste of money now and time trying to fix this myself nothing works , verifying integrity , re-installing , NOTHING WORKS! DEVELOPERS NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP.

I wanted to like this game, but simply could not get into it. What put me off was the animations of the horse and rider, when riding. To me, they were horrid to watch, and put me off playing the game. It did not help that the controls felt a bit clunky, and it felt really bland, and lifeless when playing the game. As a player of Equestrian games, I have to say that I cannot recommend this game to others who enjoy playing horse games. I know I have only played ten minutes of it, but I cannot stress this enough... I simply could not get over the bad rider/horse animations, and the clunky gameplay that came with it.

This is a very nostalgic game for me, as I played it when I was about 5. On an old, green, square computer down in the basement (whenever my parents weren't using it for emails), it was always nice to insert the disc, knowing full well that I intended to mostly run around on a horse to try getting myself stuck in walls. That was back in the day where I'd happily wait 5 minutes on a loading screen. It was janky then, and it is janky now. That's what I love about it. :3 Riding off the map and into the void to grind stats, getting horses stuck on top of other horses, awkward and strange voice lines, jumping over weird world boundaries, poor tutorial, purposefully getting horses sick, all of it is just how I remember it. If you don't like buggy, old games, then I guess I can't and shouldn't recommend it for you. It's been over 15 years, and I'm biased. :/

The game brings several nice ideas to the table. However, I keep failing the jumping for super mini mistakes. The horse does not jump at all if the jump is not executed 10000% overcorrectly. Why have penalties with falling poles then? Why do I have nice and pretty outdoor jumps, if I cannot jump them 99,999% of the time? In all other horse games I played (lots and lots of them) I jumped rather well up to really good. In a Let's Play the jumping did not seem so difficult. Also, my horse keeps getting better abilities, but still jumps really badly. And: I barely complete the advanced riding lessons, because I keep getting mistakes althoug i make no mistake at all (touching all the arrows, even in galopp, in the given order). So maybe these 2 things are just bugs, but they completely ruin the game for two of three careers, and limit quick money making of the breeder to selling horses. Such a shame, this could have been so good!

First of all, complaining about graphics doesn't seem like something relative. You see from the screenshots how the graphic is. Also keep in mind that this game is from like 2007, not 2014. It's not a modern game. It's an old game. The one big downside of this game is the lack of tutorials. You don't get explained things and have to figure things out on your own. But it could be fine if you enjoy figuring things out by yourself. I managed to do it. Now I know how to better all stats. The music is pretty much the same the whole time, and sometimes I find it irritating that there's no speed up button or such. Also there's just the three choices in the beginning and you have to complete tasks to unlock the different riding paths. And it can be a drag having to run back and forth everywhere, tho at least you can run. Other than that I think this game is pretty good. I had it when I was a kid and I loved playing it. So I had to get it now because nostalgia. It's entertaining for some time and pretty easy once you learn how it all works. If you enjoy horse games I would definitely recommend this. The only thing I really wish for in this game is to be able to upgrade the foaling stable and breed at least two couple of horses at a time. For example you could breed your own mare in one stall and use the other one for horse breeders that comes and want to use your stallion.

I actually really love his game. I played this as a child, as many others disagree with the quality of the game, I am very happy with it. The game is way too dope to be hated on as such. Graphics: If you didn't like the graphics, then why buy it? You can tell it has lower graphics and is an old game. Honestly you're incredibly stupid if you wrote a bad review over the graphics.
