Play Horsez Online

Summary

Horsez lands on the Nintendo DS as a quirky branch of Ubisoft’s Petz line, borrowing the French‑market name *Alexandra Ledermann: Adventures at a Gallop* for its original release. The core loop revolves around a weekly timetable: you must hit a score out of ten in each discipline and train that skill at least twice before the week ends.

The disciplines range from routine Horse Care—hosing, grooming, mucking stalls—to the more demanding Cross Country, Dressage, Showjumping, and later Foal Care and Learning. Dressage and Learning require you to study library books first, then press the right arrows in time to coax the correct gait.

A high social rating is earned by hanging out in the Student Centre, chatting with fellow riders, snapping and displaying photos, and buying gear. Between lessons you can shop, swap outfits in your bedroom, study, or simply stroll with your horse.

Hidden throughout are ten secret figurines, and the game alternates between free control of the rider or the horse, cutscenes, riddles, and fetch quests that keep the pacing fresh.

Critics gave it mixed marks—GameZone scored it 5.6/10, IGN 4/10, while Jeuxvideo.com was kinder at 7/10.

Storyline

In Horsez for the Nintendo DS, you step into the shoes of Flora, a new student at Sycamore Academy. At the start you choose a horse from five breeds and customize its colour. Over the weeks you train the horse in various disciplines, enter shows, and take care of its needs. After a few weeks the horse produces a foal, which you can raise. The game blends competition and caretaking in a light‑hearted equestrian experience.
