My game time: 4 hours, 3 to complete the story, one more to collect missing gold medals.
Info:
Planet Horse is kind of a horse adventure game, but mostly it's just about horseback riding. You progress in the game by doing rides and thus collecting medals. There are 26 medals to collect from riding, and also other collectible medals. I managed to get 22/26 gold medals.
There’s really no proper storyline to play, just racing and training. Really great graphics, but what’s the point of them if there’s no plot in the game? With such an amazing graphics and gameplay experience it’s a shame this is such a short game. I have to say this game has one of the best human character and horse models I’ve ever seen (except the horse's head, it really doesn't fit the body). Also, the animations are pretty. I usually don't like the trail rides, but in this game, I loved it thanks to the beautiful nature.
Like said, it’s about riding, and there’s not much interaction you can do with your horse, only brushing and washing.

Notices:
+You can create your own horses: there's a variety of breeds and colors, and you also can decide the markings and best skills for the horse.
+Wonderful graphics, especially the nature is very beautiful.
+Beautiful items in the shop, you can get different colored sets for both the rider and the horse.
+You can choose what skill for each horse is the best, like is the horse fast, strong, good at jumping or all-around horse.
-You can’t adjust the sounds in the game. I got really annoyed by the music so I had to shut it down from my computer's sound menu. The only settings there are, are the resolution and the graphics quality (I played on "fantastic" quality).
-Really short storyline.
