Throughout the game, the player is sometimes given control of the protagonist or the horse, and can move around freely. These are small figurines, and there are 10 in total.

In each country, there are a number of secrets to find.

Between training and caring for your horse, foal, and talking to the other riders, you may go shopping, change your attire in your bedroom, study in the library and go for a walk with your horse. You must also have a high social rating, which is obtained by spending time in the Student Centre talking to other academy riders, performing well in disciplines, taking and displaying photographs in the Student Centre, and purchasing items from the shops. The disciplines are Horse Care, Cross Country, Dressage, Showjumping, and later Foal Care and Learning. To pass, you must obtain a certain score out of 10 for each of the disciplines, and must train in that discipline at least twice a week. As the player, you have to arrange your timetable so that you can pass each week. HorseZ is a virtual pet/adventure/action game developed by MTO and published by Ubisoft.
