Lucinda Green's Equestrian Challenge is a horse riding game based on three-day eventing: Show Jumping, Cross Country, and Dressage. The player begins as a young rider at the two-star level who is taken under the wing of Lucinda Green, one of the world's most accomplished eventing riders, who trains them and their horse to reach three and four-star competitive events.
The game takes place at officially licensed event locations: Adelaide, Kentucky, Badminton, and Burghley. The player's horse must be cared for at home in the paddock to make sure it's fed, watered, groomed, and happy. The player is also able to develop the horse's stats (Speed, Stamina, Jumping, Agility, Trust) by winning events and progressing through the game.
The ultimate goal is to win all four-star events at Adelaide, Kentucky, Badminton, and Burghley, with Lucinda Green's guidance. The player competes against top riders from around the world, including some of the best in the sport. Winning hundreds of unlockables, such as clothes, ribbons, and prizes, can also be achieved during the game.
