subject: Achieve Fun From Online Horse Games [print this page] The variety of online horse games is huge at the moment. No matter what your age, or what you're looking for, there are racing, jumping and general feeding and playing games for everyone.
We can all have our own 'virtual' horse, and look after it. You can pick your favourite breed, and train it up for events. Make it a stable, and get special treats, along with equipment and food. Enter it into shows and events, and do quests.
A lot of the online games have forums and communities, and they're great for people with a computer that's quite old, or doesn't have a very browser. They give all horse lovers a chance to join in with the fun, without them having problems with the high graphics of newer games.
You can rescue and rehabilitate horses from abused homes, or catch them from the wild.They all have their own unique features, and needs. Running your own equestrian centre is even possible with time.
Many of the games for younger children, let them dress up their horses, and decorate their hair with fancy ribbons, or paint their hooves. Little girls who love their 'My Little Pony', will find them a lot of fun. Many youngsters can only dream of owning a horse or pony, so these online games can give them a taste of what it's really like.
Horses and ponies are sometimes used as the feature of a game, without it actually being about them. Chase games, spot the difference, and even snap, can be found in a horse version. Various horse breeds are used in memory games, and jigsaws, instead of the usual pictures. You can pretty much get a horse version of any of your favourite games.
Probably the most popular amongst the horse games, involve racing. You can own and train your own racehorse, and then enter it into races. In some online games, you can even win real money if your horse wins a race! Some of these are run by online bookmakers, and involve actual gambling, so you need to be aware of that before you start.
Most of the racing games let you bet on your horse, and the outcome of races, simply for fun though, and don't require any money. The Grand National or Kentucky Derby are within your reach if you own and train up your own horses.
If your preference is skill though, rather than speed, the show jumping and dressage games might be more to your liking. After picking and training your horse, you can go on to make up your own fences and courses, and take part in three day eventing.
There really is a huge variety of online horse games available, and there's definitely something for everyone, who loves our equine friends.
