I bought this game for my 7 year old. She played with it for 5 minutes and said...."You can have this game mom....it's too hard for me." So I tried playing it and EVENTUALLY I figured out what I was supposed to do. So far, it's an okay game. You have to choose a horse and take care of it (brushing, feeding, cleaning, riding). Then you have to build a guest house on your property. And as someone else said, the house is free, but it doesn't show up at all on your property until day #2. Then guests show up at your ranch. And that is as far as I've gotten. From what I can see in the game and directions....you basically run a ranch, keep your guests happy, upgrade your properties, buy, breed and sell horses to make money, go into town for supplies, compete in shows, etc. I can see how younger children would get easily bored with it is a slow moving game and there don't appear to be any REAL challenges to it. But for a kid who likes horses and is interested in a sims (business) style ranch game...I guess it's okay.Read full review
My daughter loves horses and saw this game at a store awhile back. The GameBoy Advance is outdated now and stores are no longer carrying the games. I found this item on e-bay a lot cheaper than what it would have been at the store! The game itself is a lot more complicated than what we thought. I would not say that my daughter "enjoys" it. The player conducts real business and finances and must do chores daily. I had to play it several times to get her anywhere on the game and I'm still not doing well financially (in the game) myself. This product is definitely for pre-teen to adult.
I bought this for my daughter who wanted another horse. This game gives her all the horses she wants with no real one to take care of. The game is detailed in the ways of taking care of horses and running a horse farm. I myself enjoy playing.
Shipped quick, arrived early, perfect working condition!

Not the game I thought it would be, kind of boring. My 6 year old seems to like it for about 15 minutes....I also hate that all these games come with very little insturction in the booklet, I shouldn't have to go online to find out things!! Would not recommend buying this game at all, or at least buy it used and save yourself a couple of bucks.
