Pippa Funnell: The Stud Farm Inheritance is a 2005 simulation game developed by Lexis Numérique and published by Ubisoft Entertainment.
Part adventure game, part horse-riding simulation, Saddle Up has players managing and gradually upgrading an inherited horse farm as they prepare to compete in riding tournaments held around the country. The game offers 14 horses to care for, including Fiesian, Palomino, and Andalusian breeds. Each horse must be kept in show-worthy shape through a combination of training exercises and grooming activities, from brushing and feeding to washing and shoe cleaning. During competitions, players can have their horse walk, trot, jump, and run at three galloping speeds before advancing to the dressage tests. Multiple sets of riding clothes and gear are available to unlock as players complete various goals and objectives. In addition to the competitions and care taking segments, the game also features a mystery to solve as someone is trying to sabotage the farm. Olympian Pippa Funnell lends her name and likeness to the game so she can offer training and competing advice throughout play.

If you have any question ill try to come back to this page regularly as it took me months to figure out how to play it.
I would be very interested in the French files you found. Could you tell me where you found it? I would be extremely grateful to you.
You’ll have to download secdrv.sys, add it to C:WindowsSystem32 and then go into settings > recovery > Advanced start-up
In the advanced start-up you’ll go to troubleshoot > advanced options > start-up options > restart > 7
After you did this you’ll make sure to mount the disc image file again and you’ll be able to start the game after this.
However, I did this AND had the original CD, so maybe it only works that way, but if you’re really nostalgic like me it’s honestly not too expensive, I found mine at like 5€ including shipping cost on amazon.
Every time I click on the ”play button” it says to try to run it as the administrator but when I do it it wont work either…
Could you help me?
Thanks a lot!
I had taken to Reddit to try and solve the mystery of getting this game to work. And honestly – I don’t think it will unless you have a physical copy of the disc and you have a computer or laptop to hand with Windows XP OS installed.
I was advised by someone on Reddit to try a virtual machine – which I did, and got Windows XP running separately to my Windows 10. I managed to share the files and get the copy of the installation files etc onto the virtual XP machine to see if it would work. The game installs fine, but then when you press play you get this message: ‘please insert the correct dvd-rom select ok and restart application’. I did some research online and judging by what others have said – I’m not sure this game would work at all unless you can play it as I’ve mentioned above – with the original disc and a computer with the old XP OS running as standard.
I did try you guys! If anyone has any other ideas they would like to share pleaaaasse feel free! If there’s some way we could workaround getting this game to run it would be awesome.
