i am 15 years old and i am crazy for horses! This game is GREAT and it really teachs you about horses and you get to do compitions and the software works perfectly fine for me. The jumping courses are fun, and controlling the horse is easy. But you need practice and soon you get it. I recommened this game to anyhorse lover and its great fun. the game is well designed and really really fun :)

THE BEST HORSE GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Mean It!!!!!!!!

This game is very fun. I recomend it to kids inbetween the age of 8-16!!! It is awsome!!! U can groom and care for your own horse and ride on tonz of trails and courses. The game is based on the treasure that U find in the end. I have not found that tresure yet, but can't wait 2. It is very hard 2 find the tresure. This game has no cheat codes. I loved this game and U better get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good but a bit tedious

I got this game and loved it at first. I especially liked the first horse because he looked like my horse. I will admit however that the grooming and taking care of the horses when you got more than three got very tedious. At the end, I gave up on taking care of them except for the ones that I actually rode. The night rider, if you simply follow him at the first or second canter speed you chould be able to do it very easily. The code for the wheel at the end has to do with the books with all the writting on them (there are 7) and the cards you find in the bedroom of the beach house. The competitions get a little frustrating if you fail them and end up repeating them more than twice, but overall they are very cool. My favorites were the African Gold Cup cross-country course and the Urban World Cup cross-country and show jumping courses. If you like horse simulation games and a little bit of mystery, you will probably like this game.

This game is really cool!

At first, this game was confusing. The hoof picking really confused me. The trick to hoof picking is to NOT clean in all spaces that look dirty. Only pick the right side of the hoof and try not to get the top. The mystery was hard to solve, I had to chase a crazy person on horseback five times before I could follow him without being seen and it was kind of frustrating. I got to do lots of competitions, but winning more horses meant more chores. Talking to the people was fun (except Garance). I LOVED this game and I recommend it to anyone who is patient and loves horses!

Totally Great!!!!

This game is the Best!!!! i love it because it is just like taking care of your own horse. grooming can be a annoyning but i sitll love it. doing the hooves takes like forever but thats okay. i love riding in competitions and taking care of the horse. the best horses are the two last ones you get. the horses are better in the competitons. im stuck on the wheel part and ive had the the game for about 3 months. if you buy this game you won't regret it!!!!

If she can stand the constant ribbing by her husband ...

...then even a thirty-year-old woman can find much to love in this game! This is the best equestrian game I have found yet -- lovely graphics, fun competitions, (unintentionally) amusing characters, and even a mystery! It has obviously been designed for a *ahem* younger crowd (to anyone over 13, that hunka-hunka broodin' love Mathieu becomes quite comical), but it brought back many happy horsey memories for this player. I especially loved the eventing competitions (no dressage -- sorry purists) with all the varied locales and riding on the beach. The mystery was fun too. Here's a hint for those who are stuck: the cards on Christobald's bed in the beach house can be flipped through, using the right/left arrow keys; look at them closely!

Some drawbacks are: the accumulation of horses can get burdensome (it's fun to win them, but tedious to have to keep up on training them every day), some storylines do not wrap up (why does the grandfather have a laboratory? it doesn't tie in with anything! and why the office by the stables? nothing ever turned up in there either!), I never found any "hidden trails" (the box said that I would find them), and the ending was rather unfulfilling (as several previous reviews have noted). I never had a problem with sick horses or keeping track of caring for them, but I could see that, if the game were interrupted frequently, it could become a problem.

I'm looking forward to checking out the other "Saddle Up" games. I've heard the Pippa Funnel one is rather difficult.

HINT

go over any course 15 times with no penalties and your horse's experience bar will be at the very top.

I think this game is really great, the graphics are good, but the grooming! every time you go to a show, you get a new horse to look after them on top of your other horses. Also some horses are better than others, for example, the best ones are the palimino, the dark grey (these are the last two horses you get ) and Eclair. The challenges are really tricky and I still havent worked out the wheel one and ive had it for a year!

Best equestrian game ever!
