My Riding Stables: Life with Horses (PC version of My Riding Stables: Your Horse Breeding) is an adventure simulation game with arcade elements, in which players manage a stud farm and a riding school. The developer of the title is a German company Kalypso Media, which has been specializing in publishing strategic games for years. Their most famous franchise is Tropico.

Mechanics

We play as an owner of a dilapidated stud farm and riding school. Our task is to rebuild the reputation of this place, as well as manage horse breeding. The action is presented in three dimensions. Players can move freely between different buildings of the complex. There, you can find stables, a paddock, a guest house, a clinic, recreational areas, as well as numerous horse-riding tracks.

In My Riding Stables: Life with Horses, we decide on the development of our breeding by cross-breeding our horses (in total there are more than a hundred combinations of different external animal characteristics), which we can then sell to gain funds for further activities. Our tasks also include individual care of the horses, which was presented in the form of mini-games. We can, for example, wash them with a water hose or thoroughly clean and scrub their horseshoes. During the game, we must not forget about purely business aspects, which come down to budget management and the purchase of the necessary tools, and so on.

In addition to managerial tasks, we can get in the saddle at any time and ride on our horse. The creators provided 9 cross-country trails, as well as the opportunity to take part in races with other riders or rehearsals on obstacle courses.

Technical aspects

My Riding Stables: Life with Horses is closer to typical mobile productions than games for dedicated gaming platforms. Models of characters and environment are colorful but very simple. The title is also devoid of more advanced graphics effects.
