My daughter got this game for Christmas and since then plays almost every day with it. She loves horses, and she likes to take care of their virtual horse, to ride on virtually and in competitions to take part. In the beginning you need patience to find out, for example, as the horse may be washed or how many times you have to whistle for it comes from the pasture to you. But if you have all the tricks heraußen, it is really funny. And it come as the game always new tasks and challenges on the child (so it does not get bored). My daughter is already advanced to the competition in the US. The game also promotes a sense of responsibility - after each workout or competition to fall for the next "health" and "relationship", and to restore it, you have to worry again about horses - wash it, brush, feed, pet, etc. All in all a great game!
