Critic Reviews

76 Extreme Gamer
My Horse & Me is a well produced family oriented game that focuses on the fun of owning a horse. Spending time with your virtual horse is stress free, simple to learn and most importantly, fun.
45 GameZone
If all you seek is the novelty factor and don't care about gameplay, My Horse and Me is a galloping time. Not a good or great time, but a time nonetheless. If any form of interactive entertainment is desired, you'll have to jump over many, many hurdles to find it.
43 IGN
The fact of the matter is there are better, and worse, horse games for the DS out there. Nothing new is offered or improved upon, making My Horse and Me entirely forgettable.
30 Kombo
The developers in charge of the DS version must have not cared enough about the game to spend some time fixing the major problems. Even if this game is targeted towards young girls, they deserve better than this.
20 GamerNode
This game is only worth it if you want to get your daughter to stop begging for a pony. Once she plays this, she'll never ask for a horse again.
15 NintendoWorldReport
The simplistic design and superficial gameplay are sure to turn off everyone, including the young girl target group, and especially horse owners.
