Yeah I forgot the controls my first competition in that game and I like knock down all the jumps there was like two jumps I did good but most of them were pretty bad
Agreed. This looks like it's still in alpha. I know it's a mobile game, but I think Abigail's right. They could've had much more to work with if they did PC instead. It's still hard to find many good horse games out there, so they wouldn't have to compete too much.
@@KokomoKami Not if they're this quality. Go back and read my message again. I said that I thought they could do more with a PC version, not "mobile players don't deserve any games"
I have to wait until May but I am really looking forwards to it because I am SO TIRED of all the annoying paywalls/microtansactions/ads in Rival Stars Horse Racing mobile!
If you have an android and aren’t opposed to apks, you can download it early. There’s accounts so I assume it won’t affect your progress when it actually releases.
I have to admit as a seasoned player of ETG who has GP level horses and fully upgraded everything (lmao I'm American but I just dl the APKs for it because weird countrylocked soft launches are gross) that some of the complaints I'm seeing here are just a lack of playing the game further; horses ingame really do have their own personalities and quirks, and while currently not all rein/leg commands are available as jumping is the testing focus, you can already perform and train quite a bit of dressage movements. Horses also visibly improve over time in almost every way, which I've never seen in a horse game and think looks fantastic. I do think the microtransactions, especially for a game in early access, are awful, and that once you're at max level it's hard to find anything new to do other than trail rides and photography. I also think training horses is far too time consuming and repetitive, as you can either send them to a training facility that takes ages to do barely anything, or you can choose the "faster" approach which demands you repeatedly grind the same super basic movement tasks for hours in order to level your horse. I hope more intuitive and interesting ways to train are added, especially since we have features like fear that make it really fun to train responsiveness/trust in rider by taking the horses by their fears, and that feels much more natural and enjoyable. I think this game is currently lacking a lot of depth, but imo it's leagues ahead of any other mobile horse game, and once we get dressage there should be a good amount more to do. I think one of the largest issues with player boredom is that as a horse game focused more on realistic riding and simulation, Equestrian isn't going to have fantasy quests or crazy unrealistic things to do with your horse, and I think a lot of players don't realize that a game where all you do is horse related tasks and avtivities isn't going to have much variety. Maybe a basic plotline could help, but I think a lot of boredom comes down to the player expecting something like SSO and then getting a riding simulator instead. That's not to say things shouldn't be improved, but I'm not sure how much improvement we will see when, as a real life equestrian too, horses are pretty repetitive in terms of riding. I do hope we get stuff like groundwork, ways to further bond with horses, ways to care for them, and more horse personalities. And more places to ride, plus a first person camera. For any newcomers worried about being bored with the game, I'd highly recommend creating your first horse with negative traits and super high energy. It makes the horse feel more opinionated and less like a pixel horse, and while your jumping will be a little more difficult, jumping becomes super easy after a bit and you'll be thankful to have a horse who adds an extra challenge! I've got horses who will buck while cantering after jumps out of excitement and I've never seen that in other games; it makes it so much more fun and reveals so many details you might miss if you try to just make a horse with no issues.
Can I ask what traits your horse has that makes it buck? None of mine have ever done that but I’d really like to have a horse that does, it’ll make it more interesting & entertaining for me when training. :)
I'd like to add to this since it's been a bit. It has become a much better example for a realistic horse game. However, apon global release we could no longer pick our first horses personality and even the trailer got nerfed potential wise. It is a decent game, especially when comparing to other things out there. I get that it's a small staff but if you really look at it you can see it's headed in the same direction as sso; more money. I'm just hoping it stays around long enough to grow into the game it could be.
You are absolutely right! I have been playing this game for a long time and it has really improved especially in terms of graphics!; It's also the only normal horse game I can play... (because I'm not in the world either... I'm from Israel and in Israel we hardly have such good horse games that are free... and because of the circumstances... I consider this to be the best horse game I've played for free! My dream is to have a horse and this game just makes my dream come true, albeit in a virtual way but still!! I hope that later on the game will improve and there will be more abilities in dressage and that it will be possible to get off the horse but as a start This game is just great!!
I’ve been a part of the beta testing for about 6 months and I love it. When you have time you should definitely look into the stats of the horses and the temperament. Unlike other games they’re not just numbers, they actually effect how each individual horse behaves when you ride them. I’m pretty sure they are working on being able to “play” the training but I’m not entirely sure. Either way you can train your horse out on the trail for most of the stats. Also this game works best for devices with more than 2GB of RAM. My phone only has 2 and I’m unable to go on trail rides.
I been following the company on Instagram since they started create this game and the reason why they did this game on mobile because they said there wasn't much horse game like this on mobile that's why they did it on mobile besides that I love your videos ❤️
@@Leah_loves_horses if you press go forwards and pull back at the same time you can get collected walk, collected trot, collected canter piaffe and passage :)
I believe the reasoning for them doing a mobile game, is- almost every mobile horse game has bad graphics, bad controls, and unrealistic caring/mechanics. This seems the best so far.
@@smellsbad2742 well rival has a bigger team, more funding, and has been around longer so ofc they're gonna be better at the start. I believe etg will become better if given the time
@@KokomoKami I don't even remember writing this comment. But I can't seem to find anything about PikPok and their teams, budget, or how long the game was in development but you are likely right since they were founded in '97. I agree ETG can, and will, be better in the future, but I think this wasn't the best stage of progress for them to have launched in. Now, especially that global release is about 1.5 months away
@@smellsbad2742 yeah, etg has been around for about 4-5 years. It's had MANY changes in both graphics and gameplay which is why I believe it's so bad rn. They're old models look NOTHING compared to what they are now
New Zealand was the first country to have access, I'd definitely say the controls at first are pretty hard to get the hang of, but I've been playing for quite awhile and I really enjoy it
The first thing I did, after completing the first tutorial after you move in, was go into the free riding mode to practice and figure things out in my own time. I think the tutorial should've taken place there with some helpful tips popping up that don't pause the gameplay. They also don't mention how to go into the collected gait. It could be difficult to figure out for some. Also, the jump metre pops up way inconsistently time-wise. It comes up more consistently on my iPad as opposed to my phone. Phone is pretty laggy too. It definitely feels like the game is a work in progress.

I think they put more work into the horses than the characters, but the characters are kinda a big part of the game so I think they should’ve put abit more effort into the characters

I played this game since the first launch and it changed a lot since then! Like even the tutorial and how you start really changed. I went on and off the game since then, cause they’re not much to do after you upgrade all your estate and have Grand Prix horses. But I like discovering the new courses that come with each pass and the items😊 I think it’s good you’ll take a bigger look at it after this video cause the customization, the horses with their personalities and the new environments are really fun to explore and, I think, are worthy☺️ I completely agree with your comments on the graphics and the light, it needs to be work on but since it’s soft launch, I am just waiting to see how they’re going to upgrade these elements! But I would have like that they focus on that instead of focusing on the micro transactions and market system… even if they also worked a lot on jumps, arena and free roam, I would’ve like them to work more on the horses, the hair, the character, the reins and also the tack that clip sometimes into the horses. But that is the deal with mobile game I guess, micro transactions are part of it, I just hope it will not limit the game like it does with rival star or many many other games on mobile! I am glad you explained the situation for the live cause I saw a lot of impatience and wasn’t aware that they just gave the stream time and not the release time. So I understand more the impatience now🙂 I am just so glad to have a game with lead change to be honest 😂 before Tales of Ravin, it was the only horse game I played that had a lead change (not counting red dead) and, gosh, playing a horse game that don’t change the lead just upset me 🙃 I am so happy to see horse game evolving towards something more realistic, it just very good news for the horse gaming world in my opinion 😊 So yeah, I think it has a good potential and it’s nice for a mobile game! It needs more stuff to be a game that motivates to play each day. Breeding and dressage is coming so we will see if it makes it more interesting on the long terme! It still needs some work but if they put the effort where it’s needed, I am sure the final product will be very nice 😊

Hello! Just some tips for ETG, you can get it on PC later on as they are working on it, you can do dressage moves/ collected moves. I’m my opinions I don’t think it’s the best because there is no gallop!
You're absolutely right about the tutorial thing, i've tried the game and i failed thousands of times because i didn't understand how to lean forward in the correct way

Finally got to play it and I agree, the tutorial was very confusing and stressful for me and almost 40% of the time I was not understanding well what the game wanted me to do.

Honestly i’ve been waiting for this game for over a year and i love it sm and i cant wait for global release but the thing is they are a small team they aren’t like starstable with a huge team and people are complaining about bring it to pc then to mobile i think thats rude because its ment to be a mobile game and alot of the better horse games are on pc like starstable was for a while (now its on mobile) but that took years and other good graphic games like rdr2 and tales of rein ravine and the other new horse game coming they are all on pc not even on other computers or mobile so it is really rude how mostly everyone is saying it should be on pc then to mobile is rude because its ment to be a mobile game as well as they have a small team so you cant expect top quality game as well as the training at least its better than more than half the horse games out there like sso its just racing which is boring and rival stars you have to wait a while ect. So etg has made it so you can do it manually which i thought was really well done and was a fantastic add and then the riding hall too. Ofc they’ll also have bugs in the game aswell but they try to fix it as much as possible and honestly in my opinion etg is better than sso, rival stars and so on but ofc tales of rein ravine is a really well done game to but currently it is boring in a way and the other new horse game coming out (1. It’ll cost money and 2. Its coming out at the end of the year.) ( i forgot the new hirse game coming out called) but etg has really done a good job and some of you just expect way to good of a game to come out and people like me really love the game and think they have done a great job on it (Edit, you put up the Australian flag its not in Australia.)

I've actually played this game and it's rather fun the controls are a bit confusing and hard to get used to but it's definitely an amazing game and definitely has a lot of potential my horse was a warmblood something I forgot and it's cremello idk how to spell with two giant white socks in the back and a few lil ones in front she also has a badger face and blue eyes :D

I really like the game! However it's so realistic that it's kinda annoying sometimes 😭 like some of my horses sometimes refuse to do any gait collected 😭 But I love it still! It's very realistic but I hope that there will be dressage competitions as well and that the "season" was only 1 month so that you get something new every month. Breeding would be good too Can you change the mane styles of a horse you buy btw? I haven't found anything like that
I think the environment needs a bit of rework. In the older version before 2021, the environment looked way more realistic and the colors were way more powerful. Now it's seems that the graphics got "downgraded" :( And what made me sad as well is that they get rid off of the customizing for chracter treats for the beginner horse. It made the game more special before :/

I haven't even gotten access yet, but this just... the tutorial is definitely rushed, the way it "resets" you after you fail a jump in both the competitions AND the meadow is just awful, the graphics look worse than what was advertised.... and yes, what some people are pointing out in the way of how it was released seriously pushes users to buy into the microtransactions. 😔 I recently started modding The Sims 3 on the PC to get my horse training / breeding fix. If I want to ride, SecondLife or Red Dead are there and great for that. I don't think this game could offer me any aspect of a horse game I can't get better in other places.
Yeah but in comparison to other mobile games this one is better, by a mile better still. That was their whole point of making it a mobile game first. They have barely any competition on mobile.
@LunarWolf94 It honestly feels like such a handicap, though... or a purposeful reason to not try hardee. The mechanics are there, they did a lot of research, but the implementation is lackluster. 😞
@@ZielOmizu Oh i agree completely. I'm also beginning to think that going for mobile was potentially a way to hide the fact they can't really make a high quality PC game, and thought people wouldn't mind if the game looks simple because it's a mobile game. I'm still hoping to play on PC some day, mostly because I like the general idea they had/have in mind, but yeah, mobile just isn't it in my opinion.
I think so too, and I’m glad! I haven’t got a PC, only an iPad, and miss out on the vast majority of games. So there is a market for games like this. I AM hoping they’ll develop the breeding side soon, though!
@@spellywelly yes i can’t wait for the global release and for breeding to come to the game though I would like for them to implement more disciplines first such as dressage, xc and maybe the puissance wall comps
Weird story time this is the 3rd horse game I’ve downloaded lol, yesterday I was watching a RUclipsr play HorseRidingTales and she brought up star-stables and a bunch of nostalgia slapped me in my face. So I went to go check if it was one mobile and sure enough it was, so I started playing for the first time ever yesterday! And then I was on Tiktok and I saw something called rival stars, so I went to check it out & I’m actually not that big of a fan of racing games cause for one I like to vibe with my horse. But then I was watching Tt’s about the game while it was downloading/is downloading. And it passed the vibe checkk
I really dislike the controls of this game. Its harder than actual horse back riding lol. Also now that my horse is overleveled for the first race the game keeps crashing. The game has so much potential but right now its just so bad. The controls are bad and there is not that much to do (but maybe thats because mine kept freezing). It feels like they put all their effort in the character and horse creation and everything else came last. Also i dont understand why they didnt just make a comp game. They plans they had were great but a bit much for a phone to handle. I also really dont like microtransactions. It would have been much more fun as a buyable game on the comp. Anyways, i deleted the game after 15 min of playing because it kept crashing and the game was very dissapointing compared to what i was expecting.

How do you train your horse to intermediate level in showjumping in etg? And how do you do dressage in etg I have a lot of questions😅 I would love to have answers to them Tysm!❤
I feel like this game is more aimed at people that have been riding horses for a while, and even being someone who has ridden for a while, this feels a little disappointing since it's a free mobile game and the market isn't very niche at all. Hopefully they fix it to something similar to Rein Ravine /:
I really like the game! The only thing that needs improving are the graphics but when you're playing the game you kinda don't really notice the graphics because it's about the game. Atleast, it's what I experience :)

Downloaded the game and it took ages to even start, got to create the human and then it went off so haven't even had a chance to properly play it, graffics aren't to bad though
I think people should stop hating on this game and give them suggestions it’s still new and it’s on mobile cause mobile has like one good horse game and it’s rival stars horse racing and pc has like the sims Rdr2 and some others (no hate intended)
I played this game and on the next round of doing the jumps it actually makes you just knock the jumps down and you don’t restart because I play the game
I play it and I have something like Sporkle (or is it Rain?). Anyway the point is I have a pinto horse. You should take your horse out for a buncha rides BEFORE you compete so your horse will always jump.
I downloaded the game before watching this video which was pretty stupid off me, then i came to the rushed tutorial and absolutely rage quit because it was so rushed. Long story short i didn't like it at ALL!😊
The controls really take time to get used to and as someone who had to learn it all by myself I acctually think a rushed turtorial is better than none.

If you have an android and aren’t opposed to apks, you can download it early. There’s accounts so I assume it won’t affect your progress when it actually releases.
I have to admit as a seasoned player of ETG who has GP level horses and fully upgraded everything (lmao I'm American but I just dl the APKs for it because weird countrylocked soft launches are gross) that some of the complaints I'm seeing here are just a lack of playing the game further; horses ingame really do have their own personalities and quirks, and while currently not all rein/leg commands are available as jumping is the testing focus, you can already perform and train quite a bit of dressage movements.

Hey, just to let you know you can do training in the meadows as well! Like jump training ect..there are also dressage moves ect!
What dressage moves and how!!!
@@Leah_loves_horses u can do passage, piaffe, collected walk, trot and canter
@@Leah_loves_horses if you press go forwards and pull back at the same time you can get collected walk, collected trot, collected canter piaffe and passage :)
I always get kikced out the game when going to meadows:(
@@r0nj4_ me to! I don’t know the problem i contacted support so I will try tell you tmr or something if I find the issue
I believe the reasoning for them doing a mobile game, is- almost every mobile horse game has bad graphics, bad controls, and unrealistic caring/mechanics. This seems the best so far.
I'm gonna be honest and say rival stars is far better, and it's not even focused on the jumping/free ride aspect
@@smellsbad2742 well rival has a bigger team, more funding, and has been around longer so ofc they're gonna be better at the start. I believe etg will become better if given the time
@@KokomoKami I don't even remember writing this comment. But I can't seem to find anything about PikPok and their teams, budget, or how long the game was in development but you are likely right since they were founded in '97. I agree ETG can, and will, be better in the future, but I think this wasn't the best stage of progress for them to have launched in. Now, especially that global release is about 1.5 months away
@@smellsbad2742 yeah, etg has been around for about 4-5 years. It's had MANY changes in both graphics and gameplay which is why I believe it's so bad rn. They're old models look NOTHING compared to what they are now
New Zealand was the first country to have access, I'd definitely say the controls at first are pretty hard to get the hang of, but I've been playing for quite awhile and I really enjoy it
The first thing I did, after completing the first tutorial after you move in, was go into the free riding mode to practice and figure things out in my own time. I think the tutorial should've taken place there with some helpful tips popping up that don't pause the gameplay. They also don't mention how to go into the collected gait. It could be difficult to figure out for some.
Also, the jump metre pops up way inconsistently time-wise. It comes up more consistently on my iPad as opposed to my phone. Phone is pretty laggy too.
It definitely feels like the game is a work in progress.
You are absolutely right! I have been playing this game for a long time and it has really improved especially in terms of graphics!; It's also the only normal horse game I can play... (because I'm not in the world either... I'm from Israel and in Israel we hardly have such good horse games that are free... and because of the circumstances... I consider this to be the best horse game I've played for free! My dream is to have a horse and this game just makes my dream come true, albeit in a virtual way but still!! I hope that later on the game will improve and there will be more abilities in dressage and that it will be possible to get off the horse but as a start This game is just great!!
I think they put more work into the horses than the characters, but the characters are kinda a big part of the game so I think they should’ve put abit more effort into the characters

Its hard to find decent horse games on mobile. This doesn't seem too bad :)
It truly isnt it might be a little weird at first but it will get better lol
Star stable is a good One!
@@grace.ma3 not really.. gets boring after you do most quest in moorland and you have to pay to even unlock things
@@kinzes3415 nah it’s paying for star rider to unlock ur not paying every time to unlock
@@kinzes3415 if you get star rider and continue questing there’s an actual storyline
Amazing video! I do agree that the lighting is a bit off. Especially when you are looking at the side of the horse! XD
I'm kinda sad, my expectations were way to high but it's ok lol
I played this game since the first launch and it changed a lot since then! Like even the tutorial and how you start really changed.
I went on and off the game since then, cause they’re not much to do after you upgrade all your estate and have Grand Prix horses.
But I like discovering the new courses that come with each pass and the items😊
I think it’s good you’ll take a bigger look at it after this video cause the customization, the horses with their personalities and the new environments are really fun to explore and, I think, are worthy☺️
I completely agree with your comments on the graphics and the light, it needs to be work on but since it’s soft launch, I am just waiting to see how they’re going to upgrade these elements! But I would have like that they focus on that instead of focusing on the micro transactions and market system… even if they also worked a lot on jumps, arena and free roam, I would’ve like them to work more on the horses, the hair, the character, the reins and also the tack that clip sometimes into the horses. But that is the deal with mobile game I guess, micro transactions are part of it, I just hope it will not limit the game like it does with rival star or many many other games on mobile!
I am glad you explained the situation for the live cause I saw a lot of impatience and wasn’t aware that they just gave the stream time and not the release time. So I understand more the impatience now🙂
I am just so glad to have a game with lead change to be honest 😂 before Tales of Ravin, it was the only horse game I played that had a lead change (not counting red dead) and, gosh, playing a horse game that don’t change the lead just upset me 🙃
I am so happy to see horse game evolving towards something more realistic, it just very good news for the horse gaming world in my opinion 😊
So yeah, I think it has a good potential and it’s nice for a mobile game! It needs more stuff to be a game that motivates to play each day. Breeding and dressage is coming so we will see if it makes it more interesting on the long terme! It still needs some work but if they put the effort where it’s needed, I am sure the final product will be very nice 😊

I was there when equestrian was in VERY early development I was there. it’s so nice to see how far it’s gone (too bad it’s not in the us yet c r y)
Hey Abigail, I just wanted to say if ur horse refuses pull the rains all the way back so u go backwards and then stop then canter and try again 👍🏼
Hello! Just some tips for ETG, you can get it on PC later on as they are working on it, you can do dressage moves/ collected moves. I’m my opinions I don’t think it’s the best because there is no gallop!
yeah its better then sso though
@@equinefaye5893 no it isnt
when is the pc release date? if you know :)
@@mariahwilson6521 shut up I don’t know
There is a canter!!
You're absolutely right about the tutorial thing, i've tried the game and i failed thousands of times because i didn't understand how to lean forward in the correct way

When she said “Easy boy” in a cowboy accent I was wheezing SO HARD 😂
"he is the tallest horse known to man" >:D XDD love that
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who struggled with the competition. I really struggled with it.
I loved this video so much I really hope you make more of Etg its so amazing :)
Finally got to play it and I agree, the tutorial was very confusing and stressful for me and almost 40% of the time I was not understanding well what the game wanted me to do.

I feel you when I made Duchess the Friesian she had 36 penalties in the practice competition lol now she's a great jumper now I love my Duchess
I have had this game for a little bit now and One of my horses (Luna) ALWAYS bucks the rider off XD Amazing vid btwwwww
Years ago my grandpa sold a horse named Jericho, and seeing how you made him it looks just like him!
Honestly i’ve been waiting for this game for over a year and i love it sm and i cant wait for global release but the thing is they are a small team they aren’t like starstable with a huge team and people are complaining about bring it to pc then to mobile i think thats rude because its ment to be a mobile game and alot of the better horse games are on pc like starstable was for a while (now its on mobile) but that took years and other good graphic games like rdr2 and tales of rein ravine and the other new horse game coming they are all on pc not even on other computers or mobile so it is really rude how mostly everyone is saying it should be on pc then to mobile is rude because its ment to be a mobile game as well as they have a small team so you cant expect top quality game as well as the training at least its better than more than half the horse games out there like sso its just racing which is boring and rival stars you have to wait a while ect. So etg has made it so you can do it manually which i thought was really well done and was a fantastic add and then the riding hall too. Ofc they’ll also have bugs in the game aswell but they try to fix it as much as possible and honestly in my opinion etg is better than sso, rival stars and so on but ofc tales of rein ravine is a really well done game to but currently it is boring in a way and the other new horse game coming out (1. It’ll cost money and 2. Its coming out at the end of the year.) ( i forgot the new hirse game coming out called) but etg has really done a good job and some of you just expect way to good of a game to come out and people like me really love the game and think they have done a great job on it
(Edit, you put up the Australian flag its not in Australia.)

the "I am the whitest ghost" is so much like my brother! in bright lighting, photos of him are just eyes floating on a white glowing oval
it hasn’t been released yet here in America 😔 i can’t wait!! I’m gonna make my horse Zari in the game when i get it. She’s a grey Arabian.
I've actually played this game and it's rather fun the controls are a bit confusing and hard to get used to but it's definitely an amazing game and definitely has a lot of potential my horse was a warmblood something I forgot and it's cremello idk how to spell with two giant white socks in the back and a few lil ones in front she also has a badger face and blue eyes :D

When jumping you keep the reins down click on the green or whatever then put the reins upward, I figured that out 20 minutes in 😂
Just got this game 2 days ago and already spent like £20 on it, it's amazing😅
I am just saying to anyone who thought it was in Australia, it’s not in Australia I think she meant New Zealand but that’s ok Australia is in may!
I really like this game! THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
In this game horses has characteristics, that makes it more realistic
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME FOR AGESS
Love your videos so much you help me get passed my OCD love you so much!
I agree with you about the tutorial.
Oh my goodness I didn't know you could change the breed horse
Me vibing to the intro
FOUR YEARS!? I NEVER KNEW!
I love the Friesian horse I’m trying to get my perfect one
Yep I played it I made a frizzy mare and I'm horrible at jumping 🤣 like I cannot... You did great! Luv u!
No access for me but when I first saw your video I was like “OH ITS OUT?” But yeah nope I still don’t have it XD
I really like the game! However it's so realistic that it's kinda annoying sometimes 😭 like some of my horses sometimes refuse to do any gait collected 😭
But I love it still! It's very realistic but I hope that there will be dressage competitions as well and that the "season" was only 1 month so that you get something new every month. Breeding would be good too
Can you change the mane styles of a horse you buy btw? I haven't found anything like that
I think the environment needs a bit of rework. In the older version before 2021, the environment looked way more realistic and the colors were way more powerful. Now it's seems that the graphics got "downgraded" :(
And what made me sad as well is that they get rid off of the customizing for chracter treats for the beginner horse. It made the game more special before :/

I watched your movie 5 minutes ago and it was i great the one i watched was Unbroken it was a great movie :)
I’m from Ireland and it soft launched a good couple months ago! Just after October I believe. I’m Grand Prix level now :]
I am from Ireland too
same im so excited to reach grand prix with his new season
I haven't even gotten access yet, but this just... the tutorial is definitely rushed, the way it "resets" you after you fail a jump in both the competitions AND the meadow is just awful, the graphics look worse than what was advertised.... and yes, what some people are pointing out in the way of how it was released seriously pushes users to buy into the microtransactions. 😔
I recently started modding The Sims 3 on the PC to get my horse training / breeding fix. If I want to ride, SecondLife or Red Dead are there and great for that. I don't think this game could offer me any aspect of a horse game I can't get better in other places.
Yeah but in comparison to other mobile games this one is better, by a mile better still. That was their whole point of making it a mobile game first. They have barely any competition on mobile.
@LunarWolf94 It honestly feels like such a handicap, though... or a purposeful reason to not try hardee. The mechanics are there, they did a lot of research, but the implementation is lackluster. 😞
@@ZielOmizu Oh i agree completely. I'm also beginning to think that going for mobile was potentially a way to hide the fact they can't really make a high quality PC game, and thought people wouldn't mind if the game looks simple because it's a mobile game. I'm still hoping to play on PC some day, mostly because I like the general idea they had/have in mind, but yeah, mobile just isn't it in my opinion.
6:22 65? XDDDDDDDDDD Now that's some emaciated horse X'D I think it says "650" actually X"DD
Lol yes. This horse (65 kg) is my body weight 😂😂
@@pentagramfairy1420 XD 👌 He must be a strong one to be able to bear his own weight XD
Oh yeah you're right! The zero is so small on the text 😅
@@AbigailPinehaven I know right! I read it as "65" the first time too X'D
I think they have gone for a mobile game because many people prefer mobile over pc or some people don’t have pcs
I think so too, and I’m glad! I haven’t got a PC, only an iPad, and miss out on the vast majority of games. So there is a market for games like this. I AM hoping they’ll develop the breeding side soon, though!
@@spellywelly yes i can’t wait for the global release and for breeding to come to the game though I would like for them to implement more disciplines first such as dressage, xc and maybe the puissance wall comps
I'm in nz and I got this last year I love the game there's room to grow but for a early game u love it
Weird story time this is the 3rd horse game I’ve downloaded lol, yesterday I was watching a RUclipsr play HorseRidingTales and she brought up star-stables and a bunch of nostalgia slapped me in my face. So I went to go check if it was one mobile and sure enough it was, so I started playing for the first time ever yesterday! And then I was on Tiktok and I saw something called rival stars, so I went to check it out & I’m actually not that big of a fan of racing games cause for one I like to vibe with my horse. But then I was watching Tt’s about the game while it was downloading/is downloading. And it passed the vibe checkk
I really dislike the controls of this game. Its harder than actual horse back riding lol. Also now that my horse is overleveled for the first race the game keeps crashing. The game has so much potential but right now its just so bad. The controls are bad and there is not that much to do (but maybe thats because mine kept freezing). It feels like they put all their effort in the character and horse creation and everything else came last. Also i dont understand why they didnt just make a comp game. They plans they had were great but a bit much for a phone to handle. I also really dont like microtransactions. It would have been much more fun as a buyable game on the comp. Anyways, i deleted the game after 15 min of playing because it kept crashing and the game was very dissapointing compared to what i was expecting.
it better come out in America soon!! i can’t wait to play!

Also upgraid ur stable to get more stalls and to get more horses get the trailer 😊
How do you train your horse to intermediate level in showjumping in etg? And how do you do dressage in etg I have a lot of questions😅 I would love to have answers to them Tysm!❤
I felt the same and gave up after a couple of minutes. I just couldn't see the fun in that odd steering.
I feel like this game is more aimed at people that have been riding horses for a while, and even being someone who has ridden for a while, this feels a little disappointing since it's a free mobile game and the market isn't very niche at all. Hopefully they fix it to something similar to Rein Ravine /:
I love it how you say he does a little dancer dance
Hi! I have the game a d it was hard at first but when you get used to it, it is very fun and you can get so much stuff.
the tutorial definitely looked rushed they just put you in a competition without time to get used to it
by it I mean controls and the game in general.
Hey so I just wanted to sat when you push your reins forward it means jump so the reason why he was refusing 😁]
I just downloaded it! (It’s my dream game!)
awesome your playing the game!
In New Zealand we got first try outs
I really like the game! The only thing that needs improving are the graphics but when you're playing the game you kinda don't really notice the graphics because it's about the game. Atleast, it's what I experience :)

@@zoeykinghamThanks!♥️
OMG YASSS I live in South Africa
I live in europe to im so happy i can play it finaly
This made my hand feel less broken! Well not really but I don’t have to tell myself that! *cry* 😃💀
Downloaded the game and it took ages to even start, got to create the human and then it went off so haven't even had a chance to properly play it, graffics aren't to bad though
I think people should stop hating on this game and give them suggestions it’s still new and it’s on mobile cause mobile has like one good horse game and it’s rival stars horse racing and pc has like the sims Rdr2 and some others (no hate intended)
I'm kinda sad becouse ETG is really laggy for me , kinda sad but i don't blame them tho becouse they still work with the game so yea. Have a nice day!
We have the same phone case!^^
I played this game and on the next round of doing the jumps it actually makes you just knock the jumps down and you don’t restart because I play the game
Was that "easy booah" at 7.17 a RDR2 reference? Cos to me U sounded a lot like Arthur 😝
I play it and I have something like Sporkle (or is it Rain?). Anyway the point is I have a pinto horse. You should take your horse out for a buncha rides BEFORE you compete so your horse will always jump.
Anyway the aim for me is to buy a Jericho or Spirit
And if you ride in meadows you get a free training ground if you cross TWO bridges.
So if your horse is scared then you can’t get to the free training ground.
When will it be available in Australia?🥰
ive just started playing ETG and once u know how, its really really cool. maybe you should eep trying?☺
Could i download it on the 2020 apple ipad?Also grate video abi
We have the same phone case!
That looks so fun
You can also change your canter from the left to the right
Ahhh im soo excited for the game to come out in US!!
I have a grey welsh cob and if I put together all the resetting at the jumps my horse would be at the vet
i like mobile in my opinion because i dont have any pc or stuff like that so im glad there is finally a decent horse game on mobile
Omg this game its so ... cool
Second! I also wanted you to know that I've played etg already so its not a new horse game.
Well technically it is since their 💖soft lounch💖 not all can play it
I downloaded the game before watching this video which was pretty stupid off me, then i came to the rushed tutorial and absolutely rage quit because it was so rushed. Long story short i didn't like it at ALL!😊
You should play "My Horse" it's on IOS and android.
i love horses too
Hey not all people have a pc to play so now us mobile people have a chance to play cool games
Amen! iPad only in my world, so thank god games are finally becoming available! 😃
Has this game been released? I can’t find it in the App Store
12:46 Yours is Kyoto mine is Alpine
It is also available in bosnia and Herzegovina ❤
Honestly I love how she put the Australian flag instead of the New Zealand flag
Blame Nyx
