Introduction on the Game Keep Case

"Spring.

Winter has finally been ushered out. The snow has melted into little streamlets flowing down from the mountains into the bay, and the first flowers have started to turn their petals to the sun.

In the mountain village of Rockville, near Jorvik Bay, there has been a major change. The stables have gotten a new owner - a woman named Jordan Jet. Rumor has it that she has a background in PR and marketing at a multinational company, and has big plans.

There's been a lot of whispering going on in the homes of Rockville, and also in the nearby villages of Beauvista and Bayridge. The stable owners of those two towns seem nervous that the rumored expansion in Rockville might put them out of business.

Some think that the change will be fantastic, but some think it's the end of the Bay as they know it.

You've been a regular at the Rockville Stables since you were a kid, and it is with a lot of butterflies in your stomach that you head down to the Stables to meet the owner. You hope she'll even tell you what she's planning!

What will the future hold in store?

Well that's up to you to explore!"

The winter has finally gone away. The snow has melted into little streams flowing down from the mountains into the bay. And the first flowers have started to turn their petals to the sun.

In the little village of Rockville in the mountains near Jorvik Bay there has been a major chance. The stables have gotten a new owner, a woman named Jordan Jet! Rumor has it that she is planning major changes – some say she has a background in marketing and PR at multinational company.

There has been many whispering among the houses in Rockville, as well in the nearby villages of Beauvista and Bayridge, where the respective stable owners seem nervous that the rumored expansion in Rockville might put them out of business.

Character Sheets

The Player's Character Sheet

The player's Character Sheet is available by clicking on the icon with the upper part of a human body on the left on the icon of a horse's head on the interface on the lower part of the monitor. The Character Sheet displays the current level of the player (with the highest being level 11), the player equipment, player skills, as well as the amount of Experience Points (XP), Stable Points (SP), and Skill Points. To increase the player level, XP is needed which is earned through completing quests and competitions held by NPCs around the bay. The currency of the game is SP, which can be earned by doing Stable Chores at the three different stables: Rockville Stables, Bayridge Stables, and Beauvista Stables.

Each stable rewards different amounts of SP from each other. SP can then be used to purchase equipment for the player and horse from the three different shops at each village, and is also used to buy new horses. There is one quest in Star Stable: The Spring Rider which rewards the player with SP, which is the quest held by Mallard at Beauvista Village Shop, "Bang For the Buck". New equipment can be put on by dragging the new equipment on top of the old on the Character Sheet. When the player levels up, they're rewarded with Skill Points. Skill Points are used to increase one of the four skills displayed on the Character Sheet, which are: Jumping, Riding, Command, and Caring. Each skill can be maxed out with 100 Skill Points. Jumping will make the player better at clearing obstacles and Riding makes the horse both quicker and for a longer time. Command will help the player quicker change the horse's gait. Lastly, Caring makes the player quicker at caring for their horse. Each level rewards with a different amount of Skill Points, with 240 Skill Points being the total.

level 2: 40 Skill Points.
level 3 - 6: 30 Skill Points.
level 7 - 9: 20 Skill Points.
level 10 - 11: 10 Skill Points.

Horse Character Sheet

On the right of the player's Character Sheet, there is an icon with a horse's head which will open the Horse Character Sheet. This sheet will display the level the player needs to be at to be able to purchase said horse, the horse's equipment can be accessed, and the horse's abilities are shown. Each horse has four different attributes have a start value at purchase which will be in green, and the possible total value is colored in orange. The attribute start and final value depends on the horse breed. New equipment can be put on the horse through dragging the new equipment on top of the old.

The four attributes each horse has is Strength, Endurance, Speed and Discipline. In Star Stable: The Spring Rider, Strength determines how high the horse is able to jump. The Speed determines how fast the horse can run and Endurance determines how long they can maintain a specific speed. Discipline works together with the player skill Command, as discipline determines how quick the horse can change gait.

There are four races which cannot be completed on the CD version, which are Lindas silver, gold and training race as well as Sabinas training track. These rewards are described as "Unknown" for now.
