Lovely game. It looks wonderful and plays wonderful, maybe a bit too easy, but still a great game. You have six courses to negociate through, initially the way to control your horse may confuse you, particularly it's speed, but once past that, it's full on. Paying close attention to the time limit, you should follow the letters next to each obstacle by order otherwise be penalized, also if your horse refuses to jump 3 times you will be disqualified. Not a real simulator in the full sense of the word, but gives you an idea of Show Jumping and a great way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon.

By the way, check 1985 Grand National for another similar game.
