SmartGamesHorse Academy Path-Building Game with 80 Challenges for Ages 7 to Adult

For Horses jumping lovers

The whole family enjoys this puzzle, all working on different levels; it is satisfying to each and all.

I bought this game for myself. I'm 65, and I like solving puzzles and playing solo games. The theme is cute and takes me back to my childhood love of books like National Velvet. The components are sturdy and should stand up to kid play. I suspect that the game could also be used for pretend play without solving the puzzles. It comes with a cute pony and rider that are attached to each other so they won't get separated. And the fences are attached to the tiles that make up the path. The large gate snaps easily into the different openings in the fence, depending on the puzzle. The letters on the tiles are a little hard to read, but the gates are color coded to match the diagrams in the booklet, so I generally go by color and then check the letter.The puzzles themselves start out very easy and get gradually harder, which helps avoid frustration. If this is anything like Temple Trap, by the same company, I'll never solve all the puzzles, but will be able to go back and enjoy ones I've already solved after I've had time to forget the solution.A friend commented that these puzzles reminded her of the train tracks puzzles in the London Times, and after I looked at them I agreed with her.I recommend watching the how-to-play video on this page. It explains very well how the game works. And it ends with a fun animation of the pony jumping the fences in order.So when I finish solving one of the puzzles, do I hold the pony in my fingers and make it run through the course and jump the fences? You bet I do!

The puzzle is somewhat hard to set up but it is fun to solve. Not too hard, but also not too obvious.

Sometimes I like to order things like this so I can physically manipulate a puzzle rather than staring at a phone screen. Super super nice and also works as a learning activity for older kiddos.

My little girl is horse obsessed and this game was the perfect addition to our homeschool! She will play this for hours trying to get all of the patterns correct! Grab this one up today!

This company has amazing games. My kid spends a long time entertained by them and training her brain. This horse one is wondeful too.

My horse loving niece loved this for her 7th birthday. She doesn’t play it how it’s meant to be played half the time but she enjoys playing her own way
