Alexandra Ledermann Series

This page refers to a series of horse games published in different countries under completely different names and as part of different series - the French game series Alexandra Ledermann, the English series Pippa Funnell, and the German series Abenteuer auf dem Reiterhof. These games are not developed and published by the same publishers, nor do they all belong together context wise. This page is intended to give an overview on the different numeration of the game.

In France
Alexandra Ledermann is a famous French equestrian. She was approached by Ubisoft in 2000 to have the "most mediatic French female equestrian" as a figure for their new video games.

The first three PC games are re-published under Alexandra Ledermann title in French. From fourth to tenth, the games were developed by French studios, Lexis Numérique and then Phoenix Studio. The eleventh PC title is a re-published game.

Alexandra Ledermann series seems to be stopped after Ubisoft drops in sales in 2009.

More than one million copies have been sold. Several children's novels and comics based on the video game universe "Alexandra Ledermann" was also released.


 * History of Alexandra Ledermann Series by Sim'ish (French)

In Europe
The franchise was released in the rest of Europe, but with an English famous equestrian named Pippa Funnell, from the fifth AL title. From 2008, no more Pippa Funnell games were released (end of the license?), and AL games were released under Imagine Champion Rider title in Europe (ie five games under the same title!).

In Germany, AL games were released under the name Abenteuer auf dem Reiterhof (litteraly "Adventures at the horse farm") from 2002 to 2009. If any, cameo was replaced by Nicole Uphoff. The other titles were also released in Germany, but not as part of AadR series (for example the GBA titles that was in the Pferd & Pony Series).

In Czech Republic, the games were released on PC under "Horsez" title from 2004 to 2008. Some games were also released in the Netherlands with "Horsez" tile.

Outside Europe
Most of the games were released as "Petz" or "Petz Horsez" in the USA.
