It is not hard to tell how this game was made with young children in mind who often wish they could be involved in this type of event.
Show jumping is a type of competition where the horses have to jump over several obstacles, and low walls. In order to win the game, you have to jump over the hurdles within an allotted time. If you fail to jump over an obstacle, you will lose four points. For every second you exceeded after the allotted time, you will be assigned with 1 fault point. The elapsed time is displayed on the top right corner of the game. To accelerate the horse, you must press on the up arrow. If you want to slow down the horse, you must press the down arrow.
The tiredness bar is located on the top right corner of the screen. When the horse jumps, it will get tired. The more you push your horse into galloping, the more tired he will become. When the horse is tired, it will slow down and trot. To jump, you must press the spacebar on the keyboard. You can only jump if the horse is galloping on the field. To move the horse to the left, you must press on the left arrow. If you want to move the horse to the right, you can press the right arrow button on the keyboard.
The goal of the player in this online pet game is to jump over all the fences. The field is surrounded by the hedge fences. If you touch the hedge fence, the game will be over. There are a number of fences that you have to overcome in order to win the game. The fences are labeled with a number. After you have jumped over a fence, the number of the next fence will display on the lower left corner of the screen. You have to wander around the field to find the next fence. It does not necessarily mean that the next fence has to be located in front of the fence you just jumped over.
When you want to gallop over a fence, you have to be at a distance away from the fence, so that the horse has enough room for acceleration. If the horse is too close to the fence, the horse won't jump over it when you press the spacebar. The horse needs some room to gather momentum before he is able to jump over the fence.
