This interesting game is a remixed version of the virtual pet design from Eidos. The game is actually the game edition and not the actual game. Therefore, if you buy this game at the Gamestop, then you get certain additional features and content.

The mini-breeds content is actually added on to the original game of Pony Friends. While you could choose from a host of horse breeds in the original Pony Friends, the mini-breeds edition offers miniature horses. Apart from this, you can find some interesting upgrades in the interface of the game. Riding on the solid game play of the original Pony Friends virtual pet game, the game still holds a charm. The design significantly emphasizes on customization and user choice.

You can take up the challenge of building your pet from scratch, though you have the option of choosing from a standard, ready made pet. Interesting customization features include the color of the mane, length of the tail, colour of the coat, etc. Interesting patterns can be applied on the body of the pony to make it more exciting. After customizing your animal, it is time for you to give a name for your pet.

The next set of choices offered to you includes ways of interacting with your pet. A variety of options are provided for you to choose from. Enjoy washing and brushing your pony and caring for it. Feed him with what he likes, running back to the store when your supply of food is over. Shout on the DS mike, encouraging your horse while he competes with the other horses in the race. Just spend some relaxing time with your horse riding around the countryside. This is an enjoyable game. Pony ride is an enjoyable game in which you can have a lot of fun, thrill and excitement with your pony.
