My Horse & Me

My Horse & Me is a horse care and riding simulation game for Nintendo DS. Players care for, ride, and train a horse through grooming, barn cleaning, and obstacle courses before competing. Gameplay includes riding mechanics with stylus controls for jumping and steering, horse training for better performance, and mini-games. The story follows caring for and competing with the horse to achieve success. Characters include the player character and the horse (often named by the player, such as Mr. Ed in examples). What makes it stand out is its focus on the real bond between rider and horse, with extensive customization of horse and tack, and career mode competitions.
