Horse-enthusiasts may be excited to learn that Atari have secured an exclusive worldwide license from the International Equestrian Federation and are now working on a game entitled My Horse and Me, a horseback riding and equestrian lifestyle video game or PC, Wii and Nintendo DS.

Atari say that My Horse and Me will be an accurate simulation of the world of equestrian sports and will feature the most accurate horse models and animations ever seen in a videogame as you take your steed through a number of sport and leisure activities as well as needing to care for them.

"We are looking forward to providing the horse-enthusiast community with a rich and authentic game that allows gamers to take care of and compete in a variety of challenges with their horse." said Emily Anadu, Senior Product Manager, Atari Inc. "The game's distinctive and charming depiction of these noble animals is sure to win the hearts of horse devotees."

My Horse and Me will have a variety of game play modes and options, including Championship mode which lets the player take part in competitions at indoor and outdoor locations around the globe ranging from rustic stables and classical riding schools to world-class tournament locations. A series of mini-games offer a variety of game play experiences alongside horse care game play and extensive customisation.







My Horse and Me is the first title of its kind to offer both first and third person camera modes, putting riders right in the saddle and creating a training tool for practicing disciplines that riders face in real life.
