Game summary

Riding Star 3 is the third installment in the Riding Star Series of horse riding sims. In Riding Star 3 the player has to customize his own avatar and horse. To improve the horse's stats in stamina, jumping and trust, the player needs to practice with the horse in different training stages and nurse the horse in the stable area. Each tournament requires a certain horse level, so the player must keep his attention to the horse’s stats through the whole game. The tournaments consist of the challenges dressage, jumping and cross-country. These challenges take place on various tournament grounds, indoor and outdoor. The most desirable tournaments are the ones in the world championship stadium in the German town of Aachen (home to the World Equestrian Games 2006).

Play Riding Star 3 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Riding Star 3 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
