YMMV / Horseland

Go To

  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: You're more likely to encounter Horseland fans from Brazil than from it's home country in the U.S. Especially on TikTok. The fact the official YouTube channel for the Brazilian Portuguese dub is the only one to have more subscribers than the official one for the original English version should tell you just how beloved the show is there.
  • Heartwarming Moments: At least once an episode.
    • Zoey and Chloe: "I LOVE YOU, SIS!"
    • Sarah and Molly's make-up hug near the end of "The Whispering Gallery".
    • Princess Linnea and her assistant Alexia share a sweet friendship, even though it took them switching identities for Linnea to realise what a loyal friend she has in Alexia.
    • Even though they don't really understand why Molly is so fond of horses and riding, Sasha and Jasmine still go out of their way to support her when she competes.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "What are you, blind or something?" Explanation 
    • Zoey stating "Why do you call you Indians anyway? I mean, Indians live in India!" has also become a meme due to the same reasons as the above, and that while she was being racist, she was technically correct (she was talking to the Native American character of Nani).
  • Moment of Awesome: The horses, and Shep, all ganging up on a mountain lion to protect the kids; and it works.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • Molly being given the silent treatment by the other girls, due to a misunderstanding.
    • In a similar vein, Sarah being shunned when she first comes to Horseland because everyone assumes she'll be stuck up like Zoey and Chloe. The poor kid ends up sitting by herself and crying after her attempts to make friends are repeatedly shot down, not understanding what she could've done wrong.
    • "Mosey", full stop. The episode centers around Sarah's elderly cat, Mosey, who she's had ever since she was a baby. During the course of the episode he's struck by a car, and although Sarah sleeps out in the barn with him and promises him he'll get well, his health continue to decline. When he gets up suddenly in the middle of the night, telling the other animals he intends to go for a walk outside in the snowstorm, Shep immediately knows what he means, and asks if he's sure. Mosey replies that he would have been gone a long time ago, but couldn't let Sarah down. He says his goodbyes and leaves them, and although Sarah wakes up and tries to follow his pawprints in the snow, the storm quickly covers them up. He's never found.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The various one-shot characters of the day. They are added as a means to spice up episode plots and shake up character dynamics in one way or another. Thing is, they tend to do this so well that the fact that they appear in only one episode, despite their potential for more, makes them come off as being this Trope. Nani Cloud and Sunburst joining the cast in season 3, with a debut episode that plays out much the same way as most of the one-offs' do, is an exception that proves the potential these characters could have if given the chance to show up more, while also helping avert the Minimalist Cast and Limited Social Circle vibes.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Teeny is female and wears a pink bow on her tail, but has a rather masculine-looking face, and sounds rather boyish for her gender.
