Horse Academy Reviews

People are mean :( like REALLY mean :( loved it now HATE it the game is fine but it’s the community and there a lot of grownups who are mean:( I’m not really enjoying my time now though Andrew is nice. People are also telling me what to do and the grownups are accusing me of begging but I’m not I absolutely HATE this game and if it wasn’t for the good horses I have I would have DELETED this game a LONG time ago so far this is the meanest community of all the games I’ve ever played and the only person that’s nice to me is Andrew and some of the people who have been playing for a long time are telling me EXACTLY what to do, and the grownups are talking about alcoholic drinks when Andrew wasn’t here it was a mistake to put a chat cause people are being MEAN with it I’m being bullied by grownups on a child game I feel that this is VERY unacceptable they are nice to you at the start but end up mean so now I’m saying that this games chat is completely CONTROLLED by MEAN grownups !!! This game used to be my favorite then the grownups started being mean!!! This game deserves a 1 star for the game itself, people are being severely TOXIC I would rather play Roblox with people who are actually NICE, so there, that is my review and reason also if your a kid like me you shouldn’t download AT ALL here is my warning!!!

Hello. Some of you might remember me as Bella, Barber, Gymrat, or to some of you- Sissy. I had HorseAcademy for about 1.5 years and it was a good app until all of the drama in the chat room got started. I appreciate what the creators, John and Andrew, were trying to do but it just turned out to be something that was toxic. If you are a teen who has a life ahead of you, I absolutely wouldn’t recommend HorseAcademy. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. Really HorseAcademy was amazing! I would play it again! It’s the chat room that was terrible. The people were toxic. Something else that was very aggravating was the “Mods”. They were pretty unfair and biased. I wasted so much time on the chat room, wasted time on terrible people who don’t have a life and choose to mess with yours. Another thing- people could express their opinions freely but if you tried to express yours and they didn’t agree, you would get a “timeout”. Some people try to shove their opinions in your face and you don’t have any options- you just have you ignore it and play the game, even though those opinions were expressed in everything that occurred. I hope this helps some of you who are debating whether to download this or not.
Creators- please read this and take this into consideration. Thank you

Hey guys, just writing a review because of the glitch I was faced with before I could even start playing the game. I opened HorseAcademy , loaded it all in, and it let me name my new mare. So, I named her and attempted to press “Continue” , but to no avail. I pressed the X button and tried to log in again, bringing me to the same options I was faced with when I had just opened HorseAcademy . I repeated my previously stated steps, but instead I just left the default name. Again, the “Continue” button didn’t let me continue. I’ve never played this game before, so “Log In” wasn’t even a thought. I un-installed and tried again, but IT STILL DIDNT WORK! It’s nothing to do with storage ( I checked already ) and I have one of the newest Apple phones ( iPhone 12 ). I will try again, but this is so discouraging! Hope you find out if somethings wrong, best of wishes to the whole community!

I’ve had this game for so many years and for the first couple years I enjoyed it so much, it’s a really good game and the environment was nice and I loved being able to collect even horses and I think I was doing really well, getting popular even. And then after one year of not playing I really logged in and everything was a lot different but it was still good right? No, wrong. The game itself was perfectly fine but the environment was kind of trash. I decided I would delete the game since I didn’t want to play it anymore and so I said in the world chat that I was going to delete the game sadly, and that I was going to give away all my horses for free. I was trying to be nice and give horses to people who really wanted or needed them. And after I did that my chat went gray I couldn’t talk and I said thanks for playing by. And someone in the chat has said if you say that you’re deleting the game we don’t need that and so your account immediately be deleted. So my account was deleted before I could give any free horses away. I was just trying to be a nice person and I got punished for it and made me feel like trash

I love this game so much, its a really great game BUT, its really hard to earn stuff, and jousting bots are getting pretty hard. Also, the characters aren’t the best, they are quite bad. I don’t like any of the hairs, and the eyebrows look super pixelated. The old ones looked good, and the hair was more optional, if I’m wrong you can correct me. Also, we need more clothes that aren’t like pixels, it would be nice if they got another update. When you customize how you want your characters body, nothing looks right. Mine looked okay, but the body looked a bit odd. I know creating games are very hard, but it could be better. The camera views are okay, but again, i wish they were better some. The horses tails look tangled, and not very good. However, the camera editing is very good. It has lots of options and styles. You can blur, brighten, and even the time of day! ( i think its only in horse designing ) also, theres some bugs with the horse creating. Sometimes you equip some stuff, then some others disappear. And its WAY too much loyalty points to make it yours. The designing is complicated and i never know whats gonna be in the end. Im sorry but i just quit today. If its fine, im still keeping my account. But until further notice, im not playing for now. Again, im NOT deleting my account. Thanks for reading.

The game is fun but there is a issue that makes the game more time consuming than it needs to be. To illustrate my point let me lay out trying steps when trying to race twice.

Here are the steps:

1) click complete
2) pick competition type
3) click ready up
4) race horse
5) click compete again
6) select the same type of competition
7) click ready up

I have to click so many times (while also increasing wait times between each race) and it become tedious when trying to race horses which is how you make money!!

My wish for the game it to remove the “ready up button” so I can immediately race. My logic behind this suggestion is that if I click race I personally feel that means I am ready to race. It is my opinion that I don’t need a second “are you sure button” in the form of “ready up” and it isn’t the end of the world if it was a misclick because the races are less than a minute. However this is just my opinion.

Also if I click compete again I would like it to automatically do the same race over again. For example, if I select jump race then compete again I would like it to auto select jump race for me. Or maybe just add a button that could do that and you can change the compete again button to “pick a different competition button”.

I know I am not a developer so maybe these changes are not feasible. However if they are I would greatly appreciate it if you guys would please consider make that change.

I’ve been a member of horse valley for 4 years, since 2017. I love everyone on it and I’ve never been silenced or rude, and I use Game Center and am unable to login to my account. I’ve had my new account for about a year and this weird bug has happened to me before, and I was able to login after updating HorseAcademy . I updated HorseAcademy now and it still won’t log me in. I really want to get into my account because I have several amazing horses I’ve won from bingo and a lot of horses that are special to me. Please help, I love this game a lot!

First I want to say I love this game! It’s been the most realistic and fun game I’ve downloaded.

HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

There are some things that I would change though-

For one: I feel like the academy dollars are too much money for the amounts you get and a lot of the nice training and barns are a lot of academy dollars and THEN a purchase (w/ in-game money)

Two: when we are riding the trot the rider isn’t as connected and hangs off the side of the saddle, and as a real equestrian and me having OCD it doesn’t look real, lol. I also think we should have posting and sitting trot options. And a quicker pick up into the canter.

Three: For the training: I don’t see any big arenas with jumps or any big arenas empty, only the small ones. But on here, the game’s advertising page- it shows two giant arenas with jumps. I would like to be able to get giant arenas like the ones on the island and be able to have my own choice of jumps and have my own course out together.

I feel like all of these suggestions will help make the game better! It’s a great- AMAZING- game, just giving my opinion :)

I downloaded this game 2 years ago and I’ve loved it ever since. The community on Horse academy is very loving and caring and the developers are a active part of the game every day and we all love them for it! They take our requests and tips into consideration and help new players learn to understand the game. I’ve brought my mother into the horse academy community and she absolutely loves the game as much as I do. All the players are from different parts of the world but in HA we seem to live in our own world and we tend to forget we are all from different parts of the world! It’s crazy to think that two wonderful people created such a amazing game, we all will remember HA3 and it’s memories but we are grateful for the opportunity to make new memories on the new HA that Jonathan and Andrew have worked hard on for over a year to create! They continue to amaze us with their hard work and commitment to the game every day . They help old players that deleted HorseAcademy for whatever reason that decided to come back and their account wasn’t showing up and they went out of their way to retrieve the account for that player, not many game developers would do that much less do other developers actually interact with players. We truly appreciate everything Jon and Andrew do for all of us. We always tell them they should take a break and relax some but they never listen lol they love HA as much as we the players do. Thanks for the amazing game guys- whisp ❤️

If I can give 10 stars I would! Its friendly u can ppl (ppl means people ) waring!: it may be slow if u can’t even 2 secs pls not use it! ) and the staff is very kind they ranch Is 9/10! It is very nice and good for ppl who love horses ! (Warning one more !: this game does contain buying ur kid might wanna buy stuff so pls make sure they don’t buy stuff a lot of times ! ) last think about it ! U can re contec any time u want some games don’t do that u can learn the stuff u want! It amazes you (if it can) this for any ages ! U can breed and get jobs I think a name called Andrew is a owner or a staff or so ! And if I see this Andrew have a nice life day night anything and I like a respond if want! Love ,ur friend Emma!

I've been on HA for 4 years, 1 month, and a day. I loved the game when I downloaded it and still do, though I have less time for it now. The community and developers are caring and kind, and the developers play an active role in the game helping players and keeping the chat pleasant as well as the amazing updates they put out. They also take into consideration player input about features and ideas. All of us from different parts of the world come together in HA for a great time. Andrew and Jon have crafted an amazing and unique experience for both long time players and newcomers of all sorts.

I just want to start out and say- THIS IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED! I love how you can chat with the developers and how everyone is so friendly! I totally recommend this game to ANYONE! Shout out to Andrew and Jon- I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. And I know I’ve already said that but I mean it so so much! I love Jarvis the Bot. I love his TILs and his trivia questions! There is nothing that could improve this game. It’s already at its best! I also LOVE the bingos! Thank you so much for making this game possible! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

But um… I lied a little. There is something that could be improved. The humans. They are very unrealistic. What bothers me most about them is the arms and face. The arms are super skinny and the face is just… i don’t know anymore.

BUT ANYWAY… THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

Hi, my other review I wrote made since once I updated it but then there were different controls to make it easier so that worked out good I don’t remember when I downloaded the game but I love it I like that all that the things don’t cost real money and that helps a lot in real life I love 🐴 horses a lot I do barrels but right now I do trotting and walking on my last day I did bareback and trotting it was very fun I go back in March also I love my horses name in the game her name is Elsa and I love the movie FROZEN but one thing I can’t figure out how to level up 🆙 but I still have it five stars because I LOVE THE GAME A LOT💕❤️ who ever made this game knew what they were talking about ✌🏻 bye ok so I know I said bye but I’m back ok so when my horse is pregnate it doesn’t have a foal come out or do I breed my mare when it says the pregnate thing is over I don’t know but please respond I was just wondering that!!!😁😄😀☺️😃😆😁

I have been on the hunt for an at least half way decent horse game for many years. Finally, I found HA! I am in absolute love!

The realism of the game is amazing. Yes, I know they are still working on some tweaks and to make it even better/even more realistic, but I love how it is now and would be completely fine if nothing changed!

I am on this games hours every day, it's addicting. I love how the creators, Jonathan and Andrew play and are open to any future ideas! They are always on top of any problems or glitches that may occur and do their best to ensure we have the best playing experience. Also, meeting all the lovely people from all over the world in the chat is amazing! I've made several new friends!

My most FAVORITE part of this game is the barrel racing! Every horse game I have ever found is English based and if you can use a western saddle, it isn't an open world. I love how this is an open world and you can ride western. The barrel racing is a lot of fun and it was an instant download when I saw barrel racing. That is what I do irl.

Thank you for making such an amazing game!

So I love this game it’s great good details and horses but can you make the humans look better cause they look weird and I don’t like it also can you add more emotes and when you dismount can you lead the horse and have a little post to tie your horse or to a tree or rock and the people that watch you do show jumping and races can you make them look better like move cheer be excited 😆 and also can have more clothing oh make it snow when your on the mountains and also when your on the mountains you get cold so you need gear to be warm can you add shops and you go in there and buy stuff ooh and add sleds clothing and city’s more houses more cars make it more realistic please and I hope you read this

I've only been playing for a month and have thoughly enjoyed every minute! You can race horses, breed them to get more unique horses, collect many different kinds of horses, trade them or sell them in game or ride them and explore an island with your friends! The community of other players on Horse Academy are caring and help each other. The developers Andrew and Jonathan listen to peoples ideas and suggestions. If there is a problem or a bug they fix it right away. It is a kid friendly game and the developers make sure it's kept that way by monitoring chat to keep chat safe and free from bullies. I highly recommend you try out this game if you love horses or enjoy games that never get boring!

There I was starting my very first day on HA in riding school, after I do I say “Hi” in the chat, all of a sudden people say hi! They welcomed me that made me realize it was the game for me. The game may need a few tweaks but its amazing in lots of ways, for starters I don’t know if people in chat are chat bots or real people I think both but if they are chat bots they are SO NICE I am always welcomed with hello, hi, or a good evening, afternoon, or morning its awsome then they ask how your day has been sometimes. This game is outstanding if there were a way to rate 20 stars I would or even rate more. One request I have though is the characters when you are riding then dismount the carmera messes with you and moves to the side with that I can’t see where I’m going, the walk its very weird it looks like they are sliding and its very fast, I think they should be able to run. Awsome game! Plaese understand my message! 😘

This game is amazing and I love how you can can ride around the ranch on your horse but it needs a major fix the human can only walk....no running it’s very annoying because If I wanna get off my horse on the island or at my ranch I legit cannot do anything because the human is sooooo slow and it takes so longgggg. Also if parents are reading this, this game has many adults playing it ( that are super friendly!) the creator of the game ( I think his wife plays also I’m not quite sure) plays also he is super friendly and helps out a lot when someone needs help with a question or even if they have a suggestion for the game! It’s really exciting to be able to talk to the creator of my fav game! So if you are looking for a realistic horse game that you can get on and off your horse and free ride around! (bc let’s be real here ....how many horse games have you downloaded that are only racing or jumping games you cannot ride with friends or rp at your ranch ) So download this game and enjoy!

Dear dre and jonny, I hope you know your kindness has shown me that Your kindness impacts people and it helps people, but don’t forget to take a break once in a while!Okay let’s Get started and be honest, the game before the island was amazing, but the new update of the island is extraordinarily AMAZING im beyond obsessed with this game and the community of people that come together is absolutely mind blowing! They listen to the people and if someone suggests ideas for the game they take it into consideration! Andrew and jonathan are the game creators and are always on and joking around with someone! The time they put into this game is incredible! Dre and jon are the most kind and giving people you could ever meet! They do these contests of you level a horse to a certain level and you get to keep the horse but also you leveling the horse to that level has dre and jonny( andrew and jonathan) give money away to a charity! They have the most unique horses on this game and we all get to meet up on the island and ride together! The island has so many cool features! We have pig hunts and we race and level horses! Thank you for the best game! -piggie
