These games (more coming soon) were created as resources to deliver content to a wide range of ages and abilities whilst coaching within a busy Pony club center and competition yard. The first prototypes were made in a flat overlooking the sea one evening. But why stop there, how many people do you know personally who love the beautiful, elegant, affectionate, loyal, obedient, powerful animals that are horses? Designed to improve and promote horse mastership to all ages and abilities and to people from all walks of life through play. Whether you are from the countryside or the inner city. Who doesn’t love the majestical magical attraction of a horse? Equiste aims to promote the welfare of horses and ponies, through education. In age, we are so reliant upon technology, what is a better way to further your equestrian husbandry than learning through play as a game, as an educational resource, or as the perfect revision aid before your tests/ exams? How to play: Select either one player or 2 players. Select the level of difficulty (the harder you choose, the quicker the cards will turn over). The players whose turn it is is indicated by the red card counter. Press on the cards, to take your turn. Match 2 x word cards, 2 x picture cards, or a matching word and picture card then hit saddle up (the circular button with the star in the center) to claim your pair! The diagonal stars on the playing cards match the same numbers for words and pictures to help you learn. When one player is out of cards, you can still select a matching pair “Saddle Up’ whilst your partner or the computer is turning cards over… whoever wins this will win the game or put you back into the game. Good luck, saddle up and enjoy Horseplay Anyway, Horseplay every day.
