i tried Howrse.com after seeing it here on Viewpoints. it is a lot of fun. it is a very slow moving game, though. you start out with one horse or pony that you create. you do a few things with it every day and he slowly grows up. there are so many different parts to the game to learn, though, that makes it interesting.
as your horse grows, you take knowledge tests so you can get better jobs. your horse gradually gains skills as you work with him daily. when ready, you will race him in competitions, breed him or her with others, etc.
you can open up an equestrian center and run the business. you can buy and sell howrses, you can chat with other players, etc. etc.
the game is free. you can choose to buy extra things for your game if you want, but it is not required.
give it a try. have some fun.
p.s. seems that a lot of players start thinking of these howrses as almost real. they sometimes talk about how "nice" or "sweet" they are. it's funny.
