Summary

Horsez on the Game Boy Advance feels like a tiny equestrian academy tucked into a handheld. I spend each in‑game week juggling a timetable: training for cross‑country, dressage or showjumping, then rushing back to the stables for horse care, which means hosing, grooming and mucking the stall at least three times. The scoring system is strict—each discipline demands a 10‑point rating and at least two training sessions per week, while a high social rating comes from chatting in the Student Centre, snapping photos, and buying gear.

The game layers extra responsibilities once a foal arrives; I must decode its three little actions, read library books to learn the right cues, and then teach it new gaits in the Learning segment. Hidden throughout are ten secret figurines, turning exploration into a scavenger hunt. Cutscenes and riddles pepper the routine, giving the otherwise schedule‑driven play a narrative pulse. Between lessons I can shop, change outfits in my bedroom, study in the library, or simply take the horse for a leisurely walk, making the world feel surprisingly lived‑in for a GBA title.

Storyline

Horsez (Game Boy Advance) puts you in the shoes of Flora, a fresh student at Sycamore Academy. At the start you choose a horse from five distinct breeds and customize its colour. The game then guides you through training sessions across several riding disciplines, from dressage to jumping. You also compete in shows to earn ribbons and reputation.

Beyond competition, you must tend to your horse’s daily needs—feeding, grooming, and health checks. After a few weeks of successful care, the game rewards you with a foal, which you can raise and eventually train yourself. The blend of breeding, training, and show‑time makes Horsez a surprisingly deep equestrian simulation for a handheld.
