Product Description

Amazon.com 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. END

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!, July 19, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Saddle Club: Willowbrook Stables (CD-ROM)

If i could i would give this game 5 million stars!
I have won this game and i really enjoied it.
I watch the Saddle Club movies and the television show all the time so i figured why not play the game. Many people think this is a little kid game but it really isn't. It is challenging and it keeps you thinking.
I really liked how this game correctly shows how much responsibility and care it takes to give them proper care! Some of the other horse games that i have played don't focus on the care aspect of horses and i liked how this game did.
I would suggest this game to anyone over the age of 9 because some of the content is a bit scary and might frighten the younger kids.
This game is wonderful! A great gift for any kid!

i havn't finished yet i am stuck in the bit in the mine where you have to open the cavern.so please help me if you have finished the game.so far i rate 5 but some parts are very hard.i am going to help a few of you out.
when you are in the castle and trying to find the golden object it is behind the first little shed.
when you have to go back to bruce the next day to get the key you have to talk to him and when you finished talking you have the key.so then return to the church.
when you are told to turn left on the road away from the lighthouse you should see a ship wreck.there is a sign.go up to the sign.then do what your dairy tells you to do.if you end up at derrick he tells you to come back the next day.go back to the sign and not far from it is a green bottle.go up to the bottle.then just ride out to the wreck and hanging on the boat is a golden horse shoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars URGENT!!! I really need help., December 27, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Saddle Club: Willowbrook Stables (CD-ROM)

Okay,um,I have noticed people have gotten stuck at these parts, so I'm going to help you out:
1)The golden object at the castle: When you enter the castle, you will see 2 little house thingys. Go to the one on the left, get off your horse, and walk around the back, then she talks.
2)The shining light above the sea: Surprisingly, this has NOTHING to do with a tree!!! Follow the instructions in your diary, and ride until you get to a little beach with a shipwreck. There is a little wooden sign on the beach. Get off your horse, and walk up to the sign. She talks. Follow the instructions in your diary, then go to the beach the next day. A little way away from the sign is a green bottle. Go up to the bottle, get off your horse and you can take it from there!!!
3)The key in the church door: Inside the church, go up to the left door. Your character should say "Cool! I found it!" DON"T MOVE!!!!!!!! I can't stress that enough!!! Your character then turns over the key, blah blah blah, you can go from there!! (I had to delete and start again 3 TIMES because I moved!!)
SOME FUN LITTLE CLUES:
1) If you press the left ALT button and the 0 on the number pad, you can go through ANY solid object, even water!!
2) If you press 'T' once, you are tacked up in seconds! ( But you have the green saddle pad.)
3)If you jump and quickly press 'C', you can take a picture of yourself in midair!!
4) My biggest hint is READ YOUR DIARY!!!! It holds a lot more than you think![...]
