The mini-game in the demo sees the rider catching butterflies around a course against the clock, while the competition event is Les 9 de Valmont, an outdoor jumping course where the player's timing and control will be tested as they aim for a clear round and victory.
My Horse and Me is a faithful and enchanting video game realisation of the world of equestrian sports. Published by Atari and developed by W!Games for Wii and PC and by Mistic for NDS, My Horse and Me, is scheduled for release on 23 November 2007.
