This is a very good game for a young player who loves horses. Graphics aren’t the best but young kids don’t care about that. Reminds me of the fishing games, low key and a nice break from fast paced games. Game play is simple and easy. Younger kids will need to have the written words on the screen read to them.

We got the Wii fever, so I purchased this game for my two daughters who are 6 and 8. My 8-year-old really enjoys it because it's interactive and she loves horses. My youngest likes to play it too, but I really wish these games came with verbal instructions instead of having to read them on the screen. She is just starting to read and gets frustrated when she can't figure something out on her own. These seems to be common for most of the Wii games though. Other than that, they enjoy playing it.
My seven year old granddaughter loves to play this game. It teaches her about taking care of her horses just like in real life. She spends hours taking care and training her horse before competing. She has learned that, although winning is fun, the real fun is in competing. This parallels her real life competition in showing horses and getting them ready for competition. The game is quite realistic in its activities. This is our first WII game and this review is based on the DS version.
I wish they changed some points of the game for the WII version. It is still a pretty good game for the animal lover(kid) in your life. They will play this game for many hours and give you some peace and quite(so it pretty much is worth its price for this reason alone). So if your kid loves animals they might really like this game!
This game is perfect for my 8 year old girls. They have to read what the people say...it is not just said...so they have to use their reading skills. It also teaches that there is a lot more to horses than just riding. It makes the nastier jobs fun in this cute game. Keeps my kids busy and engaged.
