About
Summer Rider
Star Stable: The Summer Rider revolves around Western equestrian with the new additions of Barrel Racing, Reining, Trail, and Pole Bending. Coyote has come back from the West after two decades and wants the player's help preparing for the summer camp being held at the northwestern peninsula of Jorvik. The people on the peninsula are all happy to help and participate with the camp, and needs help from the player. After some time of contemplation, Coyote decides to ask the player if they want to take his place in this games final competition, the Lone Star Rodeo competition.
Introduction in Game and on Game Case
“Summer.
Warm days have finally arrived in Jorvik.
The sun send it warming beams dancing across the ripe fields and blossoming meadows. The summer breeze sweeps in from the sea, soothing man and beast; hard working farmers, lazy dogs, sneaky cats and horses.
School’s out and the seemingly endless summer vacation has just begun. There is no more homework, no more dusty history classes with Mrs. Corkwood, or mind-numbing science experiments with Mr. Flagstaff.
Just day after day of working for Herman who runs Jorvik Stables, riding and caring for the horses. Life simply couldn’t be better.
Then Coyote arrives.
He is Herman’s brother, and he’s decided to come home after two decades out West, where he has been a professional rodeo performer. Now he plans to build a Western style riding park in Jorvik.
And he wants your help!
Soon there is fierce activity on Jorvik’s northwestern peninsula, where farmland and swampland are rapidly being converted into paddocks and trails, and where you and the rest of the crew have a very limited time to learn barrel racing, pole bending, trail riding and show jumping.
It is hard work and you have never had more fun in your life. But something is lurking beneath the surface. Strange rumors and intriguing gossip are spreading among the people on the farms and at Jorvik Ranch.
Is there more to Coyote’s return than just homesickness?
And will you be able to uncover his secret?”

XP is rewarded by completing quests and races and is used to level up the player, and at each level-up, the player is rewarded with Skill Points. SP can only be earned by completing chores at the three different stables, which all rewards a different amount. SP can then be used to buy equipment, horse feed, and new horses. To equip new equipment, dragging or clicking the new on top of the old will replace the equipped equipment.
The player has the ability to increase four different skills with Skill Points, which are displayed at the Character Sheet. Each skill can be increased to a maximum of 100 points and the player has all in all been rewarded 240 Skill Points after reaching level 11. The skills are: Jumping, Riding, Command, and Caring. Jumping increases the horses ability at clearing obstacles. Riding increases how fast and how long the horse can run. Command increases the speed of changing the horse's gait. Caring makes the player faster at taking care of the horse. The Skill Points rewarded at ...
