Alexandra Ledermann 5 - L'Héritage du Haras

Summary
A young woman inherits a run down stud farm from her aunt. To keep the farm, she has to win in competitions and thwart a real estate developer's evil schemes.

Game Design
"Realistic" 3D open world. The horses are basically the same as in its predecessor.

Gameplay
To inherit the Stud farm, you have to restore it by winning competitions around the country. Each competition consists of three disciplines : dressage, cross-country and showjumping. After each win, you are gifted a new horse, and you can choose in the notary's office the next upgrade for your Stud Farm, such as a pasture for your horses, a vet office or upgrade the house to earn money by having guests. The game also include some "story" elements : you have to solve some mysteries like finding the lost key of the van to attend a competition, convincing the old saddler to make a new saddle for you, but mostly investigating the real estate agent and prevent him from buying the Stud farm estate. Before entering a competition, you have to complete the "story segment", to take care of all your horses or the groom will do it and take some of your money, and also train your horses to increase their skills. You can go on two different courses for each discipline to train them, and also visit the nearby village of Saint-Amond to buy clothes, food and brushes and also new tack.

Horse Care
Standard horse care, similar to its predecessor. You have a "cleanliness" gauge and need to brush and shower your horse, and also feed them and pick their hooves. You cannot ride your horse if it's not clean. In their box you can also access their skill sheet, and if they have enough XP points you can upgrade their skills to : jump higher or longer, run for longer, or learn new dressage techniques.
