Playing Barbie Horse Trails – What We Think

My 9-year-old daughter has been playing Barbie Horse Trails and she loves it! She’s an outdoorsy girl who loves animals, so I knew this would be a good choice for her. Though, she has not tried horse riding herself yet, I’m sure she’d love to now after getting into this game.

She’s enjoying the beautiful environment that the game is set it and the many nature-themed challenges and activities, such as nature photography and cataloging what she finds. Other comments from her include that she enjoys that she can personalise her horse and change the clothes of her character. She says the game is really fun and adventurous too!
