Summary: ANSWERS and a review
Review: Ok, I noticed peeps have gotten stuck at parts of the game so I shall review this game but all help those people.
Answers:
1) The golden object at the castle.
Ok, when you enter the castle, you will see a 'house' in front of you and a 'house' to your left. Go to the house on your left. Dismount in front of the doorway. Go to the right of the doorway and walk down the long side of the house so you are also heading to the castle wall. You will see there is a gap behind this house and the golden object is there. As you turn to go behind the house the riddle thing automatically starts.
2) The tree thing after you visit the lighthouse.
Surprisingly enough, this riddle has NOTHING TO DO with a tree!! Take the left and ride the road till you see the shipwreck. Go to the beach. There is a small sign on it. Dismount and read the sign. There! You have a clue and can continue!!
Those are the only parts of the game I had trouble. Later, when I returned to the shipwreck because of clues leading me there, I had trouble but released the answer was on the beach with a bottle (future clue for ya!) So you know, I have just completed the FIRST horseshoe. I was surprised. Now I know this game shall not be a short mystery one but a VERY long one!! Don't mistake that for complaining! LoL Anyway, as I play, I will return here to see if people need help.

For the game itself:
The graphics are fairly good and impressive.
Going to the stables to put your horse away and having to clean the horse and stall, etc. can get annoying.
I am impressed that the game shall be long. That is a good thing as I don't like cheap games where you beat it in a day or so.
Despite those two spots where I myself had trouble (I hope the game won't have any other 'hard' spots like that in the future!) it is very enjoyable.

Summary: HELP!!!
Review: OK,um...I guess I SHOULD review it so:

Graphics pretty good
Can be boring but then something happens to intrigue you and make you continue playing
The stalls get dirty a little too often for my liking...oh well.

Ok, the main reason I'm writing is because the stupid customer support that they have DOES NOT help you!! I am stuck at the castle where I am supposed to find this golden object. I don't want to give my email away and I don't mean to clutter but if someone else reviews this game and wants to say something and THEY ALSO KNOW THE ANSWER to my problem, COULD THEY PLEASE ADD THAT IN?!!
Thankz

Summary: Fun for Daddy Daughter time
Review: This game is fantastic and my daughter loves it. The graphics are great and the voices are the real saddle club girls. This game delivers the message that girls can do anythin, including saving a stables and small town and they dont need a man to tell a sdaddle club girl what to do. Exactly how I want my daughter to think. The puzzles can be difficult but my daughter and I figure them out together as she trots Belle (Stevie Lakes horse) around the island. The island is huge with hundreds of things to discover and special little extras thrown in like a riding compatition (my daughter does very well at this)I cant jump the horse to save my life. lol Anyway, its a great game and we discuss the clues and what they might mean. This leads to discussions about her friends and school and how shes doing. This game really opened my daughter up to talking to her dad. Overall I would say the game is great, but dont let yourself get frustrated at the first difficult puzzle. The answers are there. But dont expect customer support to help you out. 5 emails to them went unanswered except for the automated "we will answer your email as soon as possible." So if you but this, your pretty much on your own. But thats also a lesson for my daughter, that sometimes, you have only yourself and your family to rely on. As far as compatability goes. I wouldent run this on less than a 1 GHZ machine. It seems to work ok on my laptop for when my daughter wants to trot around the island whele we are in the car. There are some compatibiliy problems with it hanging if you have some types of "accelerasor" programs inmstalled such as jack rabbit or pc Boost.
Overall: A lot of fun with girl power in tow.

Summary: Very Slow, But Fun Once It Ran Correctly
Review: This Game is good overall, you can create your own horse,
if you don't want to choose from Starlight,Prancer or Belle.
But the major downfall is the voices are slow and the words constantly repeat over and over again, making it annoying and hard to control your horse. It has alot of bugs too! It runs pretty well for the first five or six minutes of the game. But if you leave it on. It slows down greatly. I've turned off all the graphic details and lowered everything,but it still stays the same. I've installed the patch twice but its completely useless. But its one of the best horse games I've played SO FAR.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Game!!!
Review: this game is pretty good. it is hard in some places and i have been stuck at certain points in the game, but otherwise it is a great game for anyone who loves the Saddle Club!!! the sound of hoofbeats is quite realistic and the graphics are average - better than the 'Mary Kings Riding Star' PC game if anyone has played this. my only complaint would be that it takes forever to get from one place to another.

Summary: pros and cons
Review: This game is so cool! If you like the Saddle Club TV show you'll love seeing Stevie, Carol and Lisa in a computer game! You can choose which girl to play which is awesome. Even if you haven't seen the show this game is still wicked for horse lovers. It took me a while to finish it because it's hard in some places but that's good because it means the game lasts longer. YOu get to solve mysteries and ride around a huge island. You can always take a break from solving the mysteries and just ride your horse around the island trails and jump fences and other cool jumps. Even though I've finished the game now I still love playing it.

Summary: A review on the saddle club pc game
Review: This game, enjoyable, but a pain in the neck to load on any average computer, is a fun and exiting adventure for all horse lovers!
I purchased my game from bestbuy and when i returned home with high hopes of playing for the next 5 hours i found that the game did not work whatsoever on my computer because it was windows 95. After carefully reading the requirements list and checking another computer, i still was not able to get the game to work. when i called bestbuy to get my 20$ back they informed me that they dont have refunds for open items they suggested that it was damaged and that i should buy another so, off to the store.
it turned out however that the 2nd computer i tried it on did not have enough bytes. finally, after testing it on a friends computer, (that it worked flawlessly on) that it was a great game! I was able to desing the cute little piebald of my dreams and care for him as if he was real. the only downfall that i found on the game (aside from buying 3 copies for it to finally work) was that when you move the picure turns in circles, making it difficult to see where you are going.
thanks and goodluck

Summary: Fun game for SC fans!
Review: This is a really fun game. One thing I like about it is if you're stuck you can go to the pony club and play games. I finshed this game (...)about a month ago.

I am completly obsessed with the Saddle Club! If you like the books or TV show and have patience, buy this game!! :-)

Summary: Willowbrook Stables
Review: This is a really great game with a few flaws. First of all, there should be other horses at the stable, your horse is the only horse there. Also, there should be other riders riding around the island. I also think pasture turnout should be available, but it isn't. It is also challenging, but the other people on the island will solve the riddles for you, which is nice. And don't get worried when they say the castle is haunted, it's not. And the stalls should stay cleaner longer, your horse is not even in his stall and it gets dirty! The graphics, however, are very good and I like that you can create your very own horse. This is a great game, but challenging. I don't you'll be sorry.

Rating: 5 stars
