This game was just what I was looking for! Not a game that takes loads of time to work on but enough in it to keep me interested and excited. The graphics are great and the movement of the horses while racing was wonderful! I loved the camera movement during races which made it feel like a movie and I liked how breeding you own foals is promoted and the save/load system was excellent!

To be honest it's fun inthe beginning then the game just starts to become unfair. They put you against bots that are made to win that game you can have the highest score of what you're gonna win but even then you can get something like 8th place. Then it makes you pay for a lot of stuff with money that it won't even give you. So practically you're broke half of the game while you get power ups or something. Overall the game is unfair and just a waste of time. But if you're into that then get it.

It looked like a fun game but it was horrible, when I tried to load into the game it brought me right back to my homepage on my phone cause glitching cause my phone to shut down and now I have to get a new phone I don't know how the game was itself because I never got to play it I highly recommend it not getting this game unless you want to buy a new phone

I enjoy the game very much ▪︎▪︎▪︎ Reminds me of the old gallop racer 2003 series for PlayStation Two. The breeding system is simple yet effective and ability to earn currencies from breeding your own bloodlines is always on the odds in every horse Racing game. 🏁One tip | If would be nice if we could ride the horse ourselves...sometimes the horses do block each other and are unable to race well.and win.

Love the game. Only 3 stars because you are so limited on your races. I'm trying to unlock my horses potential but I get penalized for repeating races. I can't choose what surface to race on in the Multileague. This holds us back and slows down the game progress. If I don't have options I get bored. Then soon after I uninstall.

This is like a redo of Rival Stars except it also feels like Equestrian world. I also like it because you get to race. You should download this game it is amazing I have only been playing for a day but it's amazing.. It's also not as laggy as Rival Stars is. In my opinion this game is better then Rival Stars...idk if you can breed horses though.

This is somehow less of a cash grab than other games, and that is not saying much. The game actively punishes you for playing for free with debuffs, having a limited pool of ads to watch for premium features, etc. Also forces you to sell horses to progress the story mode which is such an arbitrary way to disadvantage the player. It could have been a good game without the guise of freemium play or a league pass. You also have premium features shoved in your face constantly. Do better.

I love horses and was happy with this game untill I got the hang of it and after finally breeding and !saving! up to raise a half way decent horse, I noticed to up grade it's, qualities, sprint, speed, stamina, it costs 960 diamonds! Per upgrade? So now I am at point where it's not any fun to go further. I was enjoying playing it off line. So I thought oh, maybe on line I will be able to afford to keep going on a some what competetive level, but no, its about money now.. why so MaNY Diamonds
