Horse Academy includes 80 challenges which stimulate cognitive skills and support the development of young minds in a fun and accessible way.

Smart Games, a worldwide leader in multi-level logic games, has unveiled its latest game: Horse Academy, a charming game for little ones aged 7 years plus.

Allowing players to create their own show jumping path and sequence, the all-new game will have players working towards the winning rosette. Taking the horse successfully from start to finish is a mind boggler, and players must canter their steed over the jumps in the right sequence, and out of the exit gate.

To play, participants choose a challenge from the booklet provided and place their horse at the starting point and the gate at the finish. To complete the challenge, they must create a path from start to finish, by placing the obstacles so that they are jumped over in the same order shown in the challenge. Sometimes they will have to jump the same obstacle more than once, but there is only one solution.

With 80 challenges to solve, ranging from easy to difficult, Horse Academy comes complete with a game board and puzzle pieces. Stimulating many cognitive skills such as concentration, planning, problem solving, spatialinsight and visual perception, Horse Academy will also support young minds with development.

Commenting on the launch of Horse Academy, Karen Clarke, UK Brand director at Smart Toys and Games said: “We are really excited to be launching Horse Academy this Spring. Here at Smart, we are always developing new and exciting game mechanics to appeal to everyone. With a wide variety of challenges to complete too, children and adults will be kept occupied for hours.”

SmartGames’ award-winning games have multi- level challenges from the very easy to the very challenging and are perfect for players of all ages. Each has a unique and innovative game mechanic with themes that appeal to both boys and girls. They come in travel, compact and table top editions in plastic or a premium wood range.
