Cutting Through the Wire Fencing

I think that this game is awesome. I've finished the whole thing at least 3 times. The first time, there were a few parts where I had trouble with but I got through them. Now, it is extremely easy.
I have read other reviews and found out that some people have trouble cutting through the wire fencing. Well, it's simple. You are at Blacklock's house with Davy. He tells you go through the back way; which is through the "Lake Woods" plot of land. Go back to the stables and opposite your first and second horse, there is a wood stool with pliers on them. Grab those and put them in your inventory. Go through the "Lake Woods" plot of land. When you get to the end, you'll see wire. Make the Red arrow go on and stop your horse. Go to your inventory, click on the pliers and click use. Voila!! You'll manage to cut through the wire fence. If you need any more help, just place a comment. Someone will help you.
Hopefully this review was of help to some people!!!

This game is awesome... but, I have a question.

This game is awesome, the graphics are great! I love making new renovations to the farm and getting new horses! It is DEFINETLY worth your time and money, then again, everybody has a different oppinion. I think it's great though. The only thing is I'm stuck on one part. I can't find Mr.Blacklock's house. I've searched for at least 2 hours! If anybody can tell me I would be soooo happy! !PLEASE HELP!

I love this game!

Okay, this game has pretty good graphics, not the best, but not too bad either. I had a lot of fun playing it and I've finished it twice. The problem about your horse having such a tiny amount of stamina is a problem. Anyway when you're chasing the guy on the dirtbike, you take the shortcuts that you can find on the side of the trail. You use these to cut the guy on the motorbike off. Once you're in front of him, you stop your horse on the trail do it so that the horse is perpendicular to the trail, if you do it the other way the guy on the motorbike will go past you. It's a lot of fun and it's the first Saddle Up game to have eventing (dressage, cross-country and showjumping) I think, it's tons of fun.

Worth Buying - Tough but loads of addictive fun!

I bought this game for my 7-yr-old after she quickly mastered and "Lets Ride: Champion's Collection" and wanted something new. Saddle Up w/Pippa Funnell was a great second game & worth every penny. The graphics are better, once controls are mastered the competitions and challenges are superior (and fun), and there is a story line that will keep you hooked! However, the difficulties involved in solving the "mystery" virtually ensure that even much older kids will probably need cheats. We found those on [...]ie among the most useful (no guilt...this game is HARD and took weeks to complete, even with the cheats!!! ) Overall, a great game that is absorbing, challenging, with good graphics (runds well on Windows XP) and loads of fun.

Much better than the other Saddel Up title

I bought this game after playing Saddle Up: Time To Ride. Both games are made by the same company and both have similar interfaces. Many things have been improved - it is now more obvious when a task is done. The controls for jumping the horses are a little finicky at first, but as your horse gets better, it's not much of a problem. The graphics are pretty good, but the "run" feature doesn't work in all places. It would be nice if they used more of a FPS viewpoint as navigating around the village can be a little frustrating. If your computer doesn't have the recommended graphics card, you will be out of luck and the game will be rather unplayable.

Possibly the greatest riding game out there

I haven't played Dream Champion or Time to Ride 2, but of all the other horse games I've played (at least 12) this one is the best. The only complaints I have are that it takes a long time to train your horse to the top level and even then, sometimes you don't earn enough points for your horse to "learn" the advanced movements. Also, you don't get to pick your new horses. What I love about this game is the storyline is so much better than any other horse game I've played. The graphics are really great. Unlike most other horse games, you can change the hair and the outfit of your character. You can name your horses. There are lots of fun places to ride. Interacting with people in the town is so much fun! This is a great game. If you are going to buy only one horse game in your life, buy this one!

Quite good!

I really enjoyed this game. Unlike other games, the focus is not so much on competing as it is on solving the mystery. It seems to be close to impossible to do that at times, but it will happen eventually. My eight-year-old sister has just started to play it as well, and she loves it. The horses are interesting, although the terms are not always accurate, especially if you're American. The competition courses are wildly inaccurate - you would never be performing at a gallop in real life dressage, the cross country courses don't have a lot of variety, and show jumping has you taking three or four fences in a row - but the story line and puzzles are quite intriguing. If you want to buy a game with more accurate competitions, buy "Equestriad 2001." If you want a game that has a good plot and fun (if somewhat frustrating!) puzzles, buy this one.

Really fun game, STUPID romance

This was an absolutely AWESOME game. OK, so you arrive at your very own brand new stud farm. You have one horse, and the place is a wreck. So you renovate the estate until everything is in lovely peace and order, and you earn more horses as you compete. Davy is the "cute" stableboy who lives there with his kid sister, Rose, and some sort of "romance" unravels between Estelle (your character) and the Davy fellow. It's all mushy and gross and awful. Overall, it's a good game if you can bear the grossest, mushiest romance ever.

This game is fun

This game is fun! To catch Blacklock, you have to cut him off across the trail and use shortcuts to not let him get away! It's very entertaining. There's even a part where you have to herd sheep and horses!!!!!! Very cool!
I was just wondering if this was the same game as "Stud Farm Inheritance" with Pippa Funnell. Please let me know!

Best Game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
