The game itself is fine. The buttons aren't big, but they aren't to little either. The horses look realistic. The only thing the game it missing is a update. No update for 3 years? Long time for not a single update. Also, the upgrades for the stables are way too expensive. Besides these minor problems, the game is perfect.
