Ubisoft officially announced [i]Pippa Funnell: The Stud Farm Inheritance[/i] for the PC this morning. In the game, players will assume control of the character Estelle as she tries to make her horse riding team successful through cross country events and show jumping trials. As she gets better in the trials, she’ll win new horses and better equipment to improve her skills for future contests.

“Pippa Funnell: The Stud Farm Inheritance is a first for the UK gaming market. This is a game that can appeal to a wide range of people, even those who may not have played videogames before” said John Parkes, marketing director of Ubisoft, “We are incredibly lucky to be working with an icon of the equestrian world such as Pippa- the knowledge and credibility she brings to the game is invaluable.”

“It was good to be involved with something so different to what I usually do,” said Pippa Funnell. “It’s great to see something I enjoy doing immortalised in a videogame and hopefully it will enable lots more people to get interested in horse riding and eventing!”

[i]Pippa Funnell: The Stud Farm Interactive[/i] makes it way to stores in March for the PC.
