Editorial Review:
Horses hold a magical appeal for children. This colorfully designed board game provides an exciting fantasy environment for two to six horse lovers. In the first game, players pretend to be wild mustang stallions galloping through mountains and valleys, gathering a herd to protect while facing such obstacles as cougars and bad weather. The first player to round up a herd wins. In two other games, players are ranchers rounding up strays and competing to fill out their herds. Players are sure to enjoy the in-depth educational information about horses and horse breeds that is included. This is a great game to saddle up when it's rainy on the ranch, providing enough challenge to play with parents as well as with friends. --Lee Strucker

Rating : - My Favorite Horse Game as a Child
My mom got this game for me when I was about 10 I think. I loved it so much I would play it by myself! Both my mom and grandma are horse trainers, so I grew up around horses and read everything I could about them. Even as a very knowledgeable horse kid, I absolutely loved this game. The cards are beautifully illustrated (I was pretty snobby about my drawing and horse drawing skills as a kid, so this was very important to me). The cards are also extremely informational; a nice description of each breed's traits and history is written on the back. It's like one of those horse encyclopedias for kids in fun flash card format. I actually used to quiz myself with these... for fun! Yes, I'm a true horse lover/nerd, haha.

When I wasn't playing with my mom, friends, or by myself, I would just read through all of the cards over and over again and make up my own games. When I got a little older, I even used the cards for a horsey book report/presentation I had to do in middle school. It was quite the hit.

I'm not sure where my old game is, but writing this review reminds me of how much I loved it and honestly makes me want to go out and buy one (I'm 24 now, haha).

I can't imagine any real horse kid not loving this game. It was by far my favorite Christmas present that year, and it held my interest for a long time.
