The Perfect Stable Game – Rival Stars Horse Racing Review

This game is everything I wanted especially after the recent updates. You not only get to build your stable from the ground up but you get to see your horses relaxing and interacting in the pasture. I love having the growing foal on my home screen. I love the racing strategy and mechanics as well as the longer cross country courses. I do wish you could trot your horse out after jumping like you see after racing. I love the game so many it is the only one that I make in game purchases. When I can afford it, I definitely plan on joining the premium club. — — — I do have minor issues with some recent changes: the stable labels have been streamlined which takes away the ability to see how close each horse is to leveling up. I used this to decide who to train and race and when to do either. Now the only way to see how much more experience is needed after a race. I also miss being able to easily compare lifetime earnings across my horses. Also, I am in a team now and have performed very well in live events… but no idea how to earn perk tokens. The info available regarding this update is very unclear. I assume I would have to abandon my team for one more competitive? — — — Suggestions: Performance horses need leg wraps! I would love to see this added to the customization options. It would be nice if one of the studs available had hidden genetics available. Lots of breeders have this info and it makes their studs more valuable of course. I’d love it if you could see more than one foal in the home screen at a time, those cute buggers deserve to socialize! — — — Nit picking: When racing, the jockey has way too much slack in the reins. The cues for a race horse and a riding horse are totally different. It made sense that you couldn’t race a horse once it was trained for cross country but I do appreciate the new flexibility in choosing horses for courses. The horses’ slow gait in cross country is kind of awkward, they never transition to walk or trot when you reduce the speed. With the change in the courses and adding pro mode, it is easy to accidentally choose the wrong horse now that the horse is the last thing to be chosen.
