Coming with this title are all of the bells and whistles you might expect, such as brushes and riding gear – and of course an equine companion of your very own! Within the world of Riding Club Championships there are more than enough activities to keep both you and your horse busy, such as trial courses to test your horses speed and agility, an engaging online mode in which to both compete and share, as well as a fairly deep customization system for both you the rider, as well as for your animal companion.

The brunt of the actual gameplay is found within horse shows. These shows allow you and your equine friend to compete in show jumping, barrel racing, pole bending, and agility trials. Each of these different game modes test a separate aspect of your horse’s’ ability level, and comes complete with a global leaderboard as well as a way to directly match your runs up to those runs of a competing rider. One of the finer aspects of this game, and in many people’s opinion the one thing that saves this game from itself, is the fact that you are able to not only able to customize your own trial arenas to play in and share with others – but you are also able to explore what other riders have been kind enough to share with you.
