Hi, having owned a couple of horses several years ago, and just bought a ps2, i thought i'd give this game a go. I am a mature female adult, and am finding this game very entertaining. I apologise to the horse when i pick his feet out and accidently scrape his 'frog', and i apologise when i sometimes canter into a tree. I have played a few horse games over the years, but this one is entertaining, has a story to follow and its not just about horse care. I have spent the last 3 days, avoiding all house work, just so i can get back to play the game. I haven't come across any game faults, and the graphics are good. I even get to gallop across a beach, which is one of my real life ambitions i've yet to achieve. I've attempted many other games, other than horse related, and gave them up after an hours or so play either because they were to difficult or the complete opposite and damn easy and boring. This game in my opinion is well worth the money for any horse lover.
