arrow lags [Posted on 2006-12-29]
My daughter loves horses and really wants to play this game but the way the arrow and background lags as you move is very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Would have given 0 stars if possible [Posted on 2007-01-02]
The graphics are nice but that is about all, the game is jerky, steering is impossible and the jumping is laughable. Wouldn't spend a penny on this game let alone $20.00

CTRL lets you jump [Posted on 2007-04-04]
Cheers; my daughter and I bought this and have been sorry ever since. The manual is on the disk, and only there can you find out that the CTRL key lets you jump. The graphics are distracting -- we found that if we changed the graphic settings to remove shadows and eliminate sophisticated effects it was less attractive but a little easier to steer the horse through the obstacles. Not worth all the trouble tho!

Is it........... [Posted on 2007-05-08]
Is it hard game or like is it hard to move the horses or exully i know that but is this game like fake place?

This game is not worth your money or time. [Posted on 2007-08-28]
I received this as a gift some time ago and finally decided to try it out. Since you steer your horse with the arrow keys, and also determine its speed with arrow keys, it is very difficult to move with any speed through the courses. If you don't slow to a walk, you'll end up running into the rails, barriers, etc. They don't tell you up front that the CTRL key is for jumping, and the left shift key is for the whip. You have to find the manual(pdf file), which is not even mentioned on the display for the game, or even the packaging on the one I got. I'll give them credit for interesting landscape graphics, but that's about it.
