Product Description
The most exciting Saddle Club adventure yet might also be the most difficult--and this time you won't have the rest of the Saddle Club to help you. A friend of the Regnerys's has invited Stevie, Lisa, and Carole for a holiday at Willowbrook Stables on Coventry Island. But only one girl and her horse can go, so you'll have to choose which member of the Saddle Club you want to be. And once on the island you'll have to solve a baffling mystery to save Willowbrook Stables from the evil property developer trying to take over. The island is a complex and colorful world of sights and sounds. It is home to over 30 characters, most of whom have lived there all their lives. Even though the other Saddle Club members won't be with you, you can still keep in touch and tell them all about Willowbrook Stables and your adventures. Other horse-crazy kids on the island will help you in your quest to save the stables. The skills that Lisa, Carole, and Stevie learned at Pine Hollow will come in handy in your investigations, as horses are just as important on Coventry Island as they are in Willow Creek. Ride all over in search of golden horseshoe clues and collect important information from interesting characters. You can get additional clues and track your progress in your personal game diary. If you solve all the clues, you'll uncover secrets that have remained hidden on Coventry Island for decades. You will have to be careful, though, as others are trying to solve the mystery, too--people who will stop at nothing to do so. If someone beats you, Willowbrook Stables will be lost forever.

To play, or not to play...
If you love horses (and the Saddle Club), you will love this game. It is a mixture of adventure and mystery and i recommend it highly. The overall plot of the game is good but the graphics need some improvment. The character's faces looked somewhat deformed at times and there are a few glitches. It took quite a while for me to get the hang of this game but once i had, it was quite fun. I had alot of trouble when it came to the shipwreck mystery but i finally got the hang of it. I also had a few difficulties when i had to go into the mine. I had to get cheats of a cheat site because i just couldn't find the right path! Apart from that it was fun. You get to chose your main character (Stevie, Lisa or Carole) and what colour horse they ride. You can also groom, feed and muck out. There are also a few other activities you can do throughout the game like Pony Club, photo taking and butterfly catching. I think girls from the age of 10+ would enjoy this game.
Horses and Mysteries...
If you like horses and the Saddle Club, then this game would obviously attract you. I had a blast playing it, but it took a long time to play. Also, I had multiple problems starting the game at the beginning because my settings weren't set EXACTLY right. Sometimes the game freezes because you ride really fast or whatever. I really liked how you can pick any horse color, not that of the horse you are playing. What I don't like so much is how big the island is and how long it takes to go from one place to another. It's also a pain to have to go from one side of the island all the way to the other side of the island, and then back again! Sometimes the clues send you in circles, too, but in all it was a pretty good game.
