horses are fun. horses are sweet. horses love us. they are the best!

Been playing since 2005. Used to be a great game,

Horseland is addictive. The more experience yoou have the funner it is. I recommend iit for all ages

Well, I understand first off, that since HL is a free play site with no ultimate goal, there are more freedoms. (By the way, this is for HL World.) There is a small problem with commercialism, but no one ever pays attention to it. At least, I don't. As for 'slaughtering' your horses, that's rubish. It is kind of annoying when people pop up on the talk board saying 'Oh! If you don't buy the horses (at rocket high prices) there going to die!' You can not kill a horse on HL. I've seen horses that are 354 years-old. They do not die unless you click the 'retire' button when they turn twenty-one. There is one problem. If you click the retire button, the lines on that horses desendants have a blank id. That is called 'broken lines' and litteraly ruins the horses value. I think that HL should allow horses to die at a normal age and still be able to keep the lines regular. There are over one million horses on horseland, and if you never retire them, that number increases. It's slowing HL down and causing glitches along with the JR. Game. Cursing is slightly rampant throughout the game, but can be avoided. Slaughter houses can be avoided, rude players can be avoided, bad trainers/stables can be avoided. There are dangers to playing horseland, but if you're carefull, and watch out, it's great! I've played for 2 years now, and only about 10 things have occured. All were easily fixed! GREAT GAME!

I have been playing hl(horseland) for about six years now(i know, i know) and in my many years of experiance, I would definatly reccomend this game, but WARNING: watch out! There are so many bad things about this game. For one thing, about 75% of the people on there don't care about you, your feelings, or your account. It is a good preparation for teens entering the real world because all the players want and care about is one thing: $money. When you first start out, be especially cautious. People see you are a 'newbie' and will scam you and take your money/horses. Also, do not even attmept to play this game if you know nothing about html. Don't worry you over-protective parents, there is not a big problem with sex. On occasion, advertisements will pop up on one of the chat rooms. (advertisements are posted by fellow members) Also- and some may disagree- violence is not a huge problem either. It is impossible to slaughter horses on this game, though some players like to make-believe it. One thing I would worry about though, is the language and attitute most players have (towards you). Drugs, alcohol, and commercialism is not a problem I would loose sleep over. On the other hand, the social behavior of the fellow players is extremely hostile, and though the educational value is extremely high, I would leave you with this warning: watch out! (if you need any help in the game, I run an Endurance Riding Club, and you can contact me from there) Have Fun!

I have been playing Horseland for eight years, since I was 8 years old. Back then, they did not have the "junior player" option, so I was on horseland world. I was able to fully interact with other players, and I never had any problems. Horseland is a money and point driven game, and some parents may look down on that. Although there is no "goal" to reach to "beat" the game, many players strive to have the best (aka highest pointed) horses of their breed and very high player points (which are obtained through training of horses). Horseland does teach important things, such as money management. Junior & Basic accounts receive a meager allowance each week and must learn how to manage it correctly, or supplement it, such as by training and selling horses. It is very unlikely that your child will encounter any unsolicited attention if they abide by the rules of horseland, although some players choose to harass new players or those who do not follow common practices. If your child tells you this has happened to him or her, you should email help@horseland* with a copy of the harassment including the offending player's ID number. Overall, horseland can provide a freedom of game that many kids will enjoy, but others may not understand the "free play" atmosphere and may become bored. To be successful your child should understand the concepts of boarding, feeding, and shoeing their horses, as well as training them. Some assistance from a parent would likely be helpful for younger children, but once they understand the basics they are sure to enjoy the game immensely!

I've been paying HL (Horseland) for about 2-3 years now, and I LOVE it! There's two games you can play, Jr. and World. I personally play HL world because I'm above 13 years of age, but the Jr. game can be fun too! In HL world, there's two types of players, Basic and Premium. There are the premium players, which you have to pay to be a premi, only $30 per year! Premium players are offered much more. You get $200,000 per week, and basic player only get $10,000. Most premium players you meet have millions of dollars, and you can also run shows and much more. Graphics makers make even more on HL, and can charge up to $30mill for pictures and layouts. Although the 'newbies' as some call them arien't treated too nicely, some people (like me) on HL like to help them out. HL runs by points, the more points your horses and dong have, the more value he has. Some clubs on HL are there for the sole purpose of helping newbies. But the glitches on HL can be frustrating. Right now, there's a bidding glitch, where no one can bid on horses. There are a lot of problems because the Jr. game is run by Shockwave player. All the players also have there own identities, or player numbers, IDs.

it is good when they update ur verifying codes when u press the button to send new code the ppl on this swares and are rude to ppl they hack into accounts and take money and horses and it is only fun when they get up to date on every thing

Horseland is not for children. Many times people are cuaght talking about sexuality, violence, swearing etc etc its insane.
