WE FINALLY GOT IT!!!
I know how you feel, here's the steps, the order is IMPORTANT!
~go get chess piece, and get number
~go to library, then go down the stairs next to it, go straight don't turn right outside, then keep going, eventually turning left and go under a bridge, there's a black door, key is inside
~go back to library, dude inside will give ya key because he rocks
~go back to your room (carefully sneak past the guys next to ur room, yes it is possible i promise)
~call the number and then go up the stairs that the guys used to be next to and get into attic and get present
~then go back toward to lounge
***ok, now Harry will be walking back and forth in the hallway on the way back to the lounge. wait until he turns away from you and follow directly behind him (why he doesn't hear u i'll never know) and then when he turns down the other hallway opposite the lounge, run like heck toward the lounge and get inside.
P.S. SAVE GAME BEFORE YOU DO THIS!!! save whenever when ur in the schedule menu thingy actually
So yeah, she's better be happy with her stupid present because it was HARDLY worth this. Oh well, fun game anyways! if ur still completely lost, email me at pocopony2003@yahoo.com
Good luck!

When you go to the US to compete you have to learn extended trot, etc. as your new dressage movements. Whenever i pressed the key that coordenated with that move it didn't work in the competetition (same thing happened with the collected movements). I've tried changing the keys just to see what happened and you guessed it nothing changed. But the funny thing is I went to the training mode on the main menu and i completed all of the moves correctley and i was stunned. Can someone please tell me why in one part of the game the keys won't work and another it will???
Excellent game; well made

This is an excellent game that I can play for hours on end. Once you think that you can just train your horse and play around, something happens that is totally unexpected. I got this for Christmas 2005 and I still enjoy playing it unlike some of the other games.
I would choose this one over Horsez any day because this one is a little more realistic and it's more fun (I think!)
Thinking about getting this game! Should I?

I'm a big horse fan and ride and show. I love all the mystery/adventure horse games. I have beat Saddle Up with Pippa Funnel, and Saddle Up Time to Ride. I have also played Lucinda Greens Equestrian Challenge ... and many others. I have read most of the reviews! Is this game good? Should I get this? I love good graphics and great story lines... If you have any suggestions please tell me!
I would not recommend this game!

This game was a great disappointment to me. I am a three day event rider and bought this game along with Lucinda Greene's Equestrian Challenge to kill some time while I recover from a bad fall. I was really looking forward to this game with all its great reviews and when I started to play it it just became very frusterating. The plot line challenges are ok. Very trial and error. But the jumping is just plain boring. Four speeds??? I'm sorry cross country is not supposed to be a relaxing canter through the feild jumping fences. Which is about all you can really do and still manage to clear the fences. But most of the time no matter what you do you cant clear a stadium fence or get a refusal in cross country. As for the horse care it takes forever to groom your horse and to clean its stall you have to make the wheel barrow have a green arrow key over it. Getting it to turn green is sometimes impossible. There are some good points in this game. The idea behind it is really good and the plot is well thought out. My only complaint with the plot is all of a sudden your character is in love with Esteban. Which was kind of random. But I could live with that. The graphics are ok. Nothing to rave about. Dressage is interesting. I've read all the movements and still cannot do a half pass at the canter. They're fairly accurate for the most part. Though not always named correctly. Overall the game was just very frusterating to me. I still havent finished it quite yet. I cant get a clear round in either cross country or stadium. Also I felt that the game was a bit inaccurate as far as the presentation of a three day event. Cross country comes before stadium and there are not ribbons given for individual placings between events *also a complaint with Lucinda Greene*. I also did not understand "Talking" with your horse. It was a little too horse whisperer for me and very hard to understand. I can only hope that eventually they will come out with a good equestrian game that combines great plot, realistic and exciting riding, good graphics and good challenges all in the same package. If that is what you are hoping for in this game, you wont find it.
VERY hard

I played this game with my sister and WE loved it. The riddles and sneaking and all that stuff was fun. I agree the controls are hard but the graphics are amazing and the places are aswome! And competing is so much fun.
You have to get up to 9 out of ten each week to compete in shows. I recomend this game for everyone!
help!
