Pferd & Pony – Lass uns reiten 2

Summary
The player slips into the role of young Marie (Amy in Let's Ride! Dreamer), who unexpectedly is allowed to look after her dream horse on a horse farm. But everyday farm life is anything but boring and Marie finds herself in an exciting adventure. The outcome of this adventure is uncertain and so the question soon arises whether she can keep her dream horse in the end.

“Let's ride 2” is a fascinating, realistic equestrian simulation with the disciplines of dressage, jumping, and cross-country riding, each with different levels of difficulty. The player can go on long rides in the forest, be enchanted by the breathtakingly beautiful winter scenario, train numerous hoof figures with their horse in their own dressage hall, care for it, clean it and decorate it according to their taste for the important dressage and jumping tournaments. With the course editor, they can create any number of varied jumping courses and thus design their own tournaments to which they can invite their friends and contest them via LAN and Internet multiplayer.

Gameplay
The main game takes place in a courtyard of the stables, where you can enter the clubhouse, dressage and jumping arena, a free-ride and cross country area, a horse trailer, and the main horse stall.

Horse Stable
In the horse stable, you can clean your horse's stall, check their stats in the book, pet and groom your horse, and go to another room with supplies. In this other room, you have the feed, water, ribbons you've won, and your tack. Your horse needs at least 2 buckets of food and water daily for proper care.



Club House
In the clubhouse you can check high scores of all competitions and free-rides, a clothes locker for outfits to wear, a bonus screen, and a horse lexicon.

Horse Lexicon
The horse lexicon has pages on grooming, feeding, and watering, saddling and unsaddling, bridling, a riding introduction, types of riding, paces, jobs involving horses, horse anatomy, and common horse breeds.

Differences between Releases
In Let's Ride! Dreamer, one of the "pre-made" horses is named Sonya, from the Dreamworks Movie: Dreamer. This is the only in-game reference to the movie, other than a title card and opening quote from Cale Crane herself. „Lass uns reiten 2 - Special Edition” includes some extra features: a day-night-cycle, new trail ride areas (fields, forest, lake), more space in the stable, adding foals and train them, more types of show jumping obstacles, new map in competition mode, more outfits

Compatibility: Unfortunately, I have not managed to get this to run again on a Win10 (64 bit) system. It gives an "error loading x64 driver. did you forget to reboot?" message, that I have already encountered for Die Reitakademie and given up on. Let's Ride! Dreamer does run on Win10 without crashes.
