60 of 161 · most liked firstIf you are looking for a well rounded horse game, then this is a *very* well rounded horse game. It covers many aspects of horse life that other games do not usually include. These aspects include, but not limited to, horse riding, horse caring (beyond just cleaning and feeding), training, working with multiple horses, breeding and selling said horses, and running a profitable stable yard (where guests can rent your horses). It takes a realistic approach to horses where it can while keeping…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game originally for my ex gf who is a real life equestrian and I wanted to get her something for rainy days. She started playing and I was amazed at how excited and happy this game was making her, so I purchased it for myself too. I am usually the kind of guy who plays RPG's and Resident Evil like horror games and so this is really not the kind of game I would usually go for. After 10 minutes of playing though, I was hooked! This is a wonderful game that touches on many aspects…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not bad. I've played many horse games over the years, and this is one of the best. That said, even the best wasn't that great. It might just be that I'm picky, though. It IS the best horse game currently on Steam, in my opinion. Note that this review is from the POV of an equestrian, and is probably best targeted at someone similar. This is mostly me being picky. Things I like: - I like that you can lead your horse. It takes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forever, but I recently realized I could speed up the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a horse lover, I am not against playing games clearly marketed for a much younger audience so long as they have horses in it. That being said I've tried a variety of horse type games (very few on Steam, mostly off Steam). While this game does allow you to interact with, care for, train, and ride your horse it's not the most enjoyable horse game I've ever played (actually far from it). The pacing for the story and time it takes for each task to be completed is... well... awful. In that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gifted to me as a gag gift but the joke is on him because I love it. Actually it is not really my style but a free game is a free game. 10/10 GOTY
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a former horse-crazy child, I've played a LOT of terrible horse games. This one, however, is surprisingly good. The graphics are quite nice and the minigames are just challenging enough. There are fairly difficult long-term goals--I've played 13 hours so far and not beaten the game yet. The controls are bit odd, but once you figure them out they are not hard to use. I would recommend this game to any horse-loving kid OR adult. I would have adored this game as a young girl and still have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This may sound strange but it's the best made game about horses that has ever seen the light of day. We are not fooling ourselves the game is intended for children and despite the ugly graphics it really can be enjoyed. I'm an adult stallion and I enjoyed the game very much, I didn't expect that I'd want to run it at all, not to mention playing a few hours (I guess I'm weird). For a child I would take it in the dark, and if you like horses, there are appropriate sites for that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really fun game, you can own multiple horses, breed them, care for them and so much more, buuut it gets super boring after a while. Sadly i have more negative than positive things to say: My main issue with this game is the star system, so summarise it, when you meet a certain standard, you get a higher star rating. The problem is that you have to maintain all your horses while having like 9 of them. Brushing, feeding and massaging every horse can take up an entire day if you have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ah, the golden age of horse games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As an avid equestrian since childhood, I have played several horse games, and this is by far the best one I've ever played. One of the most impressive points for me was the riding. It's not perfect, but the horses look better than in any other horse game I've played. Their gaits look realistic and when you turn them while trotting or cantering their heads actually look pretty. Their legs don't look all wonky and weird. The riding controls are very simple- click the left mouse button to speed up…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Riding Stables: Life With Horses basically has everything I'd want from a good horse game, but it falls apart in polish and execution. The tasks become too tedious too quickly and the UI and controls are ugly. I still give it a "recommend", because if you have the patience for it, all the features are there. Don't play it if you're easily bored by repetition though. Full review on The Mane Quest:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it because I used to love this game as a child. Still good, but I can't go back to those times anymore.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the idea of ithis game. Don't love the actual gameplay so far. Graphics and sound are wonderful but when you start out, you have to train foals in order to earn money. So if you fail at foal training then you can't buy anything. Like horse food. So your starter horse will get hungry and sick. You can't do anything with a sick horse except maybe brush and rename it. You won't be able to afford medicine or a new horse. Plus you won't be able to upgrade anything - which prevents you from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is too heavy on the tedium and too lacking in instruction and enjoyment. It expects you to spend WAY too much time cleaning hooves, grooming, walking your horse slowly from place to place, etc. When riding your horse in the field, your horse runs out of energy after just a few minutes - not enough time to get from one side of the field to the other, and when you're finished you need to slowly walk the horse back to its stall, put it away, then walk the saddle back to the saddle rack,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is Great! Fast Paced, Many selections of Horses!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game was originally on the wii, i was sooo happy to have rediscovered this game. it is a simple and easy to play game for anyone who loves horses.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game showed me how to live with a horse but now i have cancer 11/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nostalgic, I used to play this on my Wii all the time as kid. I love how it is the exact same at the original version and still works very well. The gameplay will truly never get old.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to play this game on the Wii when I was younger so I get nostalgic feelings when I play this game. Yet, I feel that I should give a full honest review of this game for those looking at playing this game for the first time. Here is my full review. The positives that I found with this game were: - The graphics for the time period and with the budget were pretty good - Free riding on the trails was fun - There were several languages to choose to play this game in within the start menu The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →By far the best horse game I have ever played. I was really surprised. With open riding and a wider variety of horse and farm maintenance, this game far exceeded my expectations. The only negative thing that I can say about it, for me at least, was that I didn't know how the star level worked, but I found the game's manual so that cleared it up. Plus, after 20 hours, I lost all my saves... but it's not the game's problem, just my computer's. But yeah, you should get it. It's a lot of fun, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i used to play this as a kid its definitely boring but in an enjoyable way
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →rdr2 aint got ♥♥♥♥ on this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a silly little game that takes itself far too seriously. For a game that pretends to be plot-driven it has a total lack of urgency about itself which is actually kind of nice. It gives you a series of instructions to complete ‘when you feel like it’ and turns you loose. It lets you get your feet without pressuring you overmuch… but it’s also not challenging. You learn to feel for how much time your tasks take and plan around them, you learn where everything is so you don’t waste…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game of my childhood; I used to play it on the Wii as a little boy, and of course back then the graphics were amazing and the gameplay was phenomenal! However, as I'm revisiting this game years later, there should be genuine honesty and good criticism in my review. If I could give it 5 stars, I would give it three. The game concept is fun, as you renovate a run-down stable to it's former glory. At the same time, you take care of all your horses and win the many…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really repetitive. I know I'm 24 years old but I don't think I would like this even as a kid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game ever it has horses
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have this game on the Wii, however it is called Gallop & Ride, rather than My Riding Stables... but aside from that, I am kinda too old for this game, but I don't care. It's my childhood and I love horses. I really enjoy this game, and I think it is a lot of fun to play. I recommend all horse lovers to give this game a try, it is very interactive, and I feel like there is a lot you can do.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've always loved this horse game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →awesome, pretty fun game for those looking for a more realistic game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing the best 75 hours of my life, i would recommend this to anyone. This game offers an immersive and life like experience like no other game! It makes you feel like you are there training, stroking and milking your stallion. Simply the greatest horse experience on the market 9.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this was my "crap" game in a gift giving game my friends and I were doing and I was sooooo excited. This review is after a few hr drunken binge. My feelings are truly reflected below. Pros: The graphics are top notch, all the pixels and bits Intense mini games that you do constantly ad nausem More grinding than grindr character customization is top notch with all 3 skins you can pick horsies, horsies everywhere horse name customization such as great names like "Glue" or "Mr, Deeznuts" for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You a horse fan? Then this game is the best horse related one on Steam. The horse and rider customization is VERY limited however, you get to pick your riders hair colour, shirt and pants and your first horses breed which there is only 3 choices dissapointily Hanoverian, Friesian and Andalusian. There is a few coat colours to pick from as well Black, White, Grey, Bay, Cream, Palomino and Red (Chestnut). You can pick what 'pattern' your horse has such as dapples, pinto markings, socks, blaze,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such an amazing game. I'm not a huge fan of playing games with bad quality, but this game really impressed me, it has a great storyline and you can do a lot of things, such as taking part on cross-country competitions and as the mayor objective, you have to rebuild an old stable. PROS: - Great animations; - You can choose between a lot of horse colours; - You can lead your horse around which is a thing that you don't see a lot on horse games; - There are several challenges you have to complete…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best 2€ ever spent. You can customize your horse and character. Awesome!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you have to grind a lot to get the horse's skills up, and it's more a stable management sim than a riding sim. when your horses' skills are maxxed out you have little reason to ride them, especially if you discovered everything in all riding locations. there is enough to play for some hours (~20 or so) but after you finish all the quests there is little to do except the daily grind
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the better horse games on Steam. However You're going to need a lot of patience. This is a grind-fest. 5 hours in and I still only have 1 horse. Why? Foal Training. Not sure I would recommend this game for children. They won't be able to obtain lots of horses straight away. Why? FOAL TRAINING! Seriously this mini-game will frustrate them to tears or tempers. You get 2 foals each day to train. Fail and it will effect half of your in-game earnings. Other half you obtain from doing the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been around horses irl all my life and I honestly love this game. I used to play the original Riding Star when I was a kid and as an adult, I wanted a bit of nostalgia. Thanks to playing the MMO Black Desert Online though, I've learned I really enjoy breeding horses in game as well. So when I found this game and breeding was an option, I had to get it. There are a few things I'd change as far as the first field. I wish the golden shoes were trackable so I knew how many were left, I wish…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fairly basic but overall enjoyable. Taking care of the horses and riding in the field is very fun, and I like the farm management aspect. Foal training is less than stellar, but tolerable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as a record holder for most hours in this game i can firmly tell you that this is not something you should buy get a different horse game one that wont break your computer and one that doesnt look like its from the early 00's
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it good? Absolutely not. Is it fun? I suppose ironically it can be fun. GRAPHICS The game tries to go for a realistic art style but falls short in nearly everything except the horses. - Rather nice character models for the horses. - Awful character models for the humans, like laughably bad. - Decent textures on buildings, very bad textures on everything else. - Animations are servicable but wonky in a lot of areas. GAMEPLAY - Absolutely horrific controls. - Counterintuitive UI that looks…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →many fun very horses much recommends wow
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a good horse simulation which lets you upgrade the buildings of your horse yard. It has a free riding mode in 3 different surroundings and also horse races. You can have up to 9 horses in your stable but you have to care for all of them too :p The ingame online shop offers you lots of stuff for your character and your horses which you can buy with your earned credits. You can also buy books there which contain many interesting informations for horse lovers. I can recommend this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, although it is extremely immoral to ride without a helmet, considering the game is targeted for kids.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Riding Stables: Life with Horses, developed by Sproing and published by familyplay together with Markt+Technik Verlag, is a niche life simulation that builds its identity around the quiet, routine-driven world of horse care and stable management. Rather than focusing on fast-paced gameplay or dramatic storytelling, it leans into a slower, more methodical experience where progress is earned through consistent effort and attention to detail. The game invites players to step into the role of a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/7DRih16foGQ Even when viewed in the mindset of the intended player base the pacing and spacing of aged game is punishing in a way to extend play time with little reason to do so.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do recommend this game for more kids then teens and adults. It does get boring after awhile, but if you're a curious horse person then sure. Try it out. I finished the whole game because I like completing the entire game.Like I said I do recommend this game ,but more towards kids. The graphics are okay for 2010. I played this game on the wii when I was a child. It was fun to play for me for nostalgic reasons as an 19 year old.I do wish they had more coat variations and more breeds. There are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes you need to go ride around on a horse. Don't @ me, friends, I know you will see this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better than i thought xD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as horse games go, this is definitely the one to beat.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Riding Stables: Life with Horses is an entertaining and immersive game that horse lovers and simulation fans will enjoy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has been on my wishlist for a while since it was the best rated horse game on steam, I was just waiting for it to go on sale. I was really looking forward to it after seeing all the positive reviews. Suffice to say, the game did not meet my expectations. I have some realism complaints, mainly that one of the (three) horse breed options at the beginning is a friesian, which in real life only comes in black, yet this game lets you make it whatever color. Admittedly a small complaint,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is pretty fun if you play it casually. It is well rounded with things to do. Breeding, training, running your stables and helping customers. I like those aspects alot. My only qualms is that the days should be longer, Its hard to look after 10 horses and meet their needs from 8am to 6pm. I would love if they did make the games time run alittle slower.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I ride horses in real life and i was always looking for a virtual version of it :D. This Sims / Tycoon-type game does a very good job of letting you experience what working on a horse farm is all about, very nice if you like horses and a multi-tasking game. You have to earn money from winning competitions, massaging horses, breeding foals, training and selling them and having paying guests stay at your farm all in the purpose of having your farm grow and taking care of your horses. Make sure to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unsurprisingly i grew up as a weird horse girl, so i've played a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ equestrian games. having been a working student, i also know what it's like to manage multiple horses and this game was actually pretty realistic. some of it gets pretty tedious after a while, but while i was feeding my horses or slowly leading my horse across the yard for the millionth time, i realized that actually managing a farm is quite tedious. this game spares you from monotony of turning out horses or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super cool. It has amazing graphics and a not too set storyline so you are pretty free to do as you wish!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HI. please add mac to life with horses. thx
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scrubbed horse's face, lost trust. Scrubbed horse's genitals, trust bar went up. 10/10 would please horse again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had this game when I was younger and it was an actual PC game that I would put in the computer it worked fantastic!! This Digital one sucks! it keeps freezing and kicking me out and then will stop on me. Horrible, horrible..Can't even play it!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this when I was a kid but never finished it till now, just like back then I wanted to make the herd from the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron :') Its seriously a well made game for its time!! Bit challenging towards the end to get 4 star rating, no wonder I never finished it as a kid :D Highly recommend for some nostalgic gaming
