Riding Mechanics
Arrow keys to move, space to jump. Each jump must be approached in the right gait and space must be pressed when in the green zone. Dressage is played by pressing the right and left mouse key when prompted. It plays like a very simplified version of Ride! Equestrian Simulation from the same developer.

Differences between Releases
In the German and English Wii version, there is no mention of Ellen, but Mr. Whitaker is still called that. In the Nintendo Wii release, the graphics are of considerably higher quality than the DS release. It follows a similar storyline to the other games, with a higher emphasis on quality.

The PC version is a game developed by Dancing Dots. It has a similar intro to the Wii version, but the game has nicer graphics and is more similar to other games produced by the developers (Ride! Equestrian Simulation, Planet Horse).

Trivia
A French PC version was released as a free supplement with the n°226 (July 2010) of Cheval Star, a French magazine for young rider.
