I struggled for a long time on whether or not to recommend this game, for several reasons. I’m just a video game horse girl who was dissatisfied with only four stable stalls in RDR2, and then lack of ability to breed horses and sell them with their papers for a good profit. And this game solved some of those issues. But in the end, when I broke the game down into pros and cons, the cons outweighed the pros.

PROS:
For a game that was originally a mobile game, the horses look incredible. There are so many options to customize horses, and every horse is bound to be unique for that reason.
There are multiple activities to do in the game, including racing, free roaming, cross country, and breeding.

NEITHER PRO NOR CON:
Training wasn't really a pro or a con, as it was just clicking "train" over and over again until you max out. I'm glad that training isn't tedious, but it's also not fun.
The human models aren’t nearly as pretty as the horses. The in-game art for the people is so beautiful, and then there’s the models - they look like potato monstrosities, but that’s more funny than annoying to me personally. That’s not even mentioning the ‘crowds’ at the cross country events. Some of them are literally 2d, and most look absolutely awful. But again, it doesn’t affect gameplay.

CONS:
Good lord, is it painfully obvious that this game was originally a microtransaction infused mobile game. You have to wait for certain things in the game, which is a pain in the ass. Nobody wants to just sit there and wait until the game is ready to be played. It's like sitting in a loading screen for five minutes. Yes, you can do other things while you wait, but you can say that about anything. You can pay with in game money for it, but why in the world would I do that when money is also a pain in the ass?
I quickly got sick of racing. Racing isn't really fun or engaging. You just tap the spacebar at the end and hope your horse does well enough to win. And at a certain point, you barely make any money from racing anyway. You win only a bit more money than you paid to enter the race. Cross country is just doing the same tracks over and over again to make money once you hit the wall of "not high enough prestige level".
Speaking of - the game bars you from progressing normally. You have to gain prestige levels in order to do certain things, including breed certain horses or upgrade your stables or storehouse.
The storehouse system sucks, and forces you to keep coming back to sell items because it’s always ****ing full.
The prestige system sucks. It’s such a time waster, much like these mobile games.
Breeding is terrible. Even if you use only your own horses, you have to pay an arm and a leg for it. And the resulting foal with be worth only a fraction of what you paid to get it. The game encourages you to pay for caretakers to boost the foal’s stats, but it’s RIDICULOUSLY expensive to do. You will never get a profit from breeding horses. You will always lose money if you buy a horse specifically for breeding, and sell it later when it becomes obsolete. In fact, most horse related transactions will waste way more money than you earn. The homestead system prevents you from going broke, but jfc. This game was obviously created to do exactly this - and then force players to either pay or wait to get more money.
The point of the game seems to be getting better quality horses, but honestly I can’t tell the difference between bad quality horses and good quality horses when riding them in free roam. They all move slowly and handle pretty badly. Turning is so slow, the game tells you to slow your horse to a near stop if you actually want to turn properly. It’s annoying.

The only way to make real money in the game is to just do the cross country mission with the most money winnings attached to it. Do that over and over again. Then you can afford your upgrades, breeding (which shouldn’t cost me to breed my own damn horses), accessories, and horse creator.

I’m frustrated and disappointed. My suggestion would be not to buy this game at full price. If you’re a horse game fan and it looks interesting, wait for it to go on sale first.
