 um alright to begin with but.... April 14, 2008

well if i saw this in the shops i wouldent buy it but as it came free with my DS i had to have it im glad i got it free cos it really isant that good. Well you begin with bying a pony and then you learn all the basics of horse care and stuff and it is really fun you can go out on walks in the woods and by the beach unlockig lodes of cool new trails grooming it and entering in racing is really fun and i have to say the sound is really good!and i thought this has to be my best DS game it was sooo fun! but once you have unlocked all the paths for your pony its boring seeing all the same suroundings. Grooming and washing the pony also starts to get boring the thrill of being alble to see your horse sparkly clean dies away also once your onto the last few races its prticly impossible to win and you have come first to unlock the next race there is only five races anyway.the way to win a race is just by shouting into the mic chearing you pony on so in the race your not evern sat on your horse. It also is really hard to make money cos you dont earn any by racing only by doing chores you get about 5 pounds for doing 3 choes and thats unfair becouse the grooming products cost around 30 pounds and if you dont feed your pony it gets ill and then you have to by pills for it to get better pills cost about 100 pounds !!! the food is about 50 and you have to feed it everyday including when your not on it so you could not play on poney friends for 3 days and end up paying 500 on pills and thats praticly impossible cos there is no way off earning more then 5 pounds a day.
so if your thinking of buying it dont after the first couple of days the fun only begins when you turn it off!

You can have 3 ponies the graphics are excellent the riding is quite good but there is no jumping or anything, you take pictures of animals and get a reward when you fill up a set, the care is good but you have to brush the horse so slowly and it can be annoying.
Why does the pony have the saddle on in the field??
I was a bit dissapionted at first because the video looked really good, but i dont think its as good as the video.
This game is designed for younger people (im 14) i think they might find it annoying that you have to brush your horse so slowly.
There is LOADS of stuff you can choose to make your horse look pretty, and lots and lots of Ponies to choose from, a really good game!

I got this game a while ago and i loved it! first you have to get a horse, you can buy a breed or you can make your own horse up, making your own horse costs more than getting an real breed. you can go on trail rides and if you find a gate or increase your horses fitness you can unlock the next trail ride, there is a map of all the trail rides you have unlocked and are able to go on, the ones that are still waiting to be found will be shown as a padlock. when you go on your trail ride, you can take pictures of all the wildlife, you have ten shots availbale, sometimes you will take pictures of animals you already have in your scrapbook but other times you might take a picture of a new animal and it is put in your scrapbook. if you complete a set of pictures in your scrapbook you will get a reward! but some animals are only found at a certain time of day, some animals are found at all points of the day. you can not steer your horse, instead there is a pathway you must take, you can choose wether to gallop or to walk at anytime on your trail ride. after a trail ride or trail rides your horse will get very dirty, espiecally after more than one trail ride. first you must groom your horse with the body, main and tail brush. next you must wash your horse with shampoo and conditioner and rinse it with a hose full of water. you might need to wash your horse with some flea powder if needed. next you have to scrape off all the mud off your horses hoof and then pick at the stones until they fall off. sometimes shells and coins get stuck in the hoof, if you complete a set of coins or shells you get an award. when you go to the map you can see the pony club, the pony club is a club were ponies race. blow into the michrophone to get your horse running faster than the others and win. when you win first place you unlock the next race in the list of races, after you complete all the races you can race any of the races in any order and it won't matter anymore. sometimes you are asked to complete tasks on your trail rides, when you complete those tasks you get paid. sometimes there are secret items hidden in trail rides, if you find them you can keep them! you have a to-do-list of things you must do, when you complete all the chores on your list you get paid and with that money you can buy care supplies (shampoos and medicine) food (vegetables, treats, hay and oats) accories (sadels, blankets, horse shoes and rains) decorations (hair and main styles and designs for the horses rump (hip))you can check on your horses health and the vet will tell you what you need to now. a woman will help you through everything, giving you tips and advice in a non-annoying way, she does not annoye you at all at anytime. you can have up to three horses, you can keep them in the feilds or in the stable. you can check if your horse is healthy, happy, clean and loved. check on your horses awards to see what you need to increase, speed, stlye or fitness. once you have every trail ride unlocked, every accesorie and you have every meter full, you are ready to retire your horse and choose one out of four careers for your horse. you can exercise your pony, the more successful your horse is the more different kinds of tricks it will do. you can watch little parts of the pony and friends video and you can also check what accesories you have and which ones you need to get. dress up your pony in so many awesome styles and you can connect with other pony owners as well! you can name your pony and call it over and stroke and pat it. feed your pony its favourite food and make it happy. check your collection of shells and coins to see which ones are left to find. the graphics are amazing and all the sounds are spectaculiar. i defenitley recommend this game to horse lovers and to people who really want to feel like they have a horse and to understand how it is to own a pony. its a very peaceful game and makes you want to switch on your DS everyday and play. i hope my review was helpful to you!
OMG! MY OWN PONY! November 26, 2007

When i opened this on my b-day morning i was sooooooo excited when i opened pony friends. the only thing that got it 4* not 5* was that you can't compete or anything plus it gets boring after about 2-3 weeks. i would DEFINITELY recomend this game to anyone who loves owning a pony, not competing, owning and riding a pony. the graphics are incredible. i think they should make it more boyish as i have friends who are boys and they are mad about ponies to! bring on horse games! xxx p xxx
