Pippa Funnell: The Golden Stirrup Challenge

Pippa Funnell: The Golden Stirrup Challenge is the third installment in a horse riding simulation game series, promoted by the name of an English champion jockey, Pippa Funnell. Ubisoft programmers again let you step into the world of teenage horse lovers.

Flora, the main heroine, is an adept of a prestigious Italian equestrian school. The game’s objective is no different as in the previous ones: become the best rider in the academy and prove your worth in a series of tournaments. You must also take care of proper interactions with other students. Preparing a schedule lets you find enough time for training, taking care of animals (for the first time in the history of the series you can look after colts), as well as making new friends and meeting with old ones (characters from the previous games). Thanks to horse riding contests (much different from the ones in the first two games), you can see much of the world. You get to visit Italy, Alsace in France, China, and other countries. All this is bound by a search for a mysterious treasure.

Pippa Funnell: The Golden Stirrup Challenge also offers several novelties in terms of visuals and controls. These are: 5 different, meticulously detailed horse breeds, new dynamic camera system, more detailed 3D environment, more expressive character faces, and a new horse riding model inspired by Dance Dance Revolution.
