What players say
Was a little hard for me to get started, but once you get into a rhythm for things then it can be very fun to play and addictive.

I played many of their games in the past but first time playing one on Steam. Overall I got what I expected and it was fun, but controls could have been better for PC.
So fun to arrange your farm, buy and breed horses. Train them up and strategically build your brand so people visit the farm and spend money so you can keep buying more horses! I'm in year 9 and 7 mos and enjoying how cozy this one is :)
