Product Description

From the Manufacturer

It's up to you and Barbie to become super sleuths on horseback when foul play is suspected at Whispering Springs Ranch. Barbie needs your help to locate Lucky in time for the National Championship Horse Show. Get ready for the adventure by selecting a horse, brushing her mane, feeding her carrots, apples, or sugar cubes. Then, guide Barbie over to the nearby practice ring to sharpen her riding, herding, and jumping skills before heading out. Next, hit the trails and search for clues hidden in an abandoned campsite, an old town, a cave and other exciting locales. Meet characters in each location that may have clues, too. Use the clues to solve the mystery and return Lucky in time for the horse show.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too bad all the other reviews are for other Barbie Games!, April 22 2004

By A Customer

All these reviews of this game (below) really upset me because they refer to an "alternate version", which turns out to be a totally different Barbie game than the item shown here.
Click on the hyperlinks to see for yourself. I haven't found a single one out of 28 reviews that describe this particular item.
I've found the same problem with Disney princess games as well.

Anyway, this game plays somewhat similar to the older Barbie Riding Club, riding the horse and solving puzzles, and is suitable for the younger children 4-7 because it is pretty easy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible !, Mar 15 2004

By A Customer

Choppy graphics and hard to direct horses make this game an absolute failure from the start. My daughter hates it and I don't blame her. What a frustrating experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Horse Adventures review, Feb 15 2004

By	"bah355" (APO, AE) - See all my reviews

I bought this game for my 4.5 year old daughter. I picked it out because she loves animals and she already has the pet rescue game. She has had the game for over a week now and has played it almost everyday. I still have to play every game with her though because it is difficult for her to navigate the horse and barbie with the arrow keys. She has only just mastered the use of the sling shot and still has a hard time with sorting the food into the barrels. She can do all the other games just fine. I, myself, am tired of the game. There are only so many times I care to travel along the SAME route and talk to the SAME people to find the SAME horse in the SAME spot. BUT my daughter LOVES it! She likes knowing what is going to happen and where to go and is content in just wondering who the new suspect is. She loves the way she can "make" her own horse and change Barbie's clothes but could care less about decorating the winners circle. All in all not a waste of money. If you have the time to sit and play with your child it is worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved It.
Okay.... the game is really good... I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 5 though. Using the slingshot can be hard.....but once you get the hang of it it's good. Read more
