Horse Academy Smart Game
If you think riding the course is tricky, try building it first. Horse Academy challenges players ages 7 through adult to create a complete riding course by arranging roads, obstacles, and pathways in exactly the right sequence.
Each of the 80 challenges provides clues about how the course should be laid out. Using the 10 puzzle pieces, players must build a route that connects the entrance to the exit while placing every jump and obstacle in the correct order. Obstacles may appear more than once, but their sequence matters. One misplaced piece can send the entire course off track.
The challenges progress through four difficulty levels, beginning with straightforward layouts and gradually introducing more complex arrangements that require careful observation, planning, and deduction.
As players work through the puzzles, they strengthen spatial reasoning, sequencing, visual perception, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Success often depends on seeing how a small adjustment in one section affects the entire course.
The sturdy pieces store neatly inside the game board, making Horse Academy easy to pack away between sessions or take along for travel.
With 80 challenges and only one correct solution for each, Horse Academy offers a satisfying blend of logic, persistence, and puzzle-solving for horse lovers and brainteaser fans alike.
Includes: 1 game board, 1 exit gate, 10 puzzle pieces with obstacles and paths, 1 horse with rider, booklet with 80 challenges

”With Horse Academy, you have 80 challenges and have to put the obstacles in order as the challenge lists them and make it to the exit. It was fun to beat the challenge and also pretend play with the horse clearing all the jumps. This game helps build cognitive skills, including spatial insight, planning, and problem-solving. It’s a great size and perfect for quiet time play.” Read the Review

Love It!
Tasha G.
I have yet to find a smart game that I didn't truly love and this is no exception. It gets the kids thinking in a fun, imaginative, and yet challenging way. The levels build in a way that makes sense and isn't too fast. The game is fun and engaging. You can't go wrong adding this to your regular curriculum!

Wonderful critical thinking tool
Heather C.
My 3rd grade son has been very excited to 'play' this. While at times challenging for him, completing the challenges are attainable and he's very proud of himself when he completes one. I use this in between subjects he struggles with as a way to sort of reset his brain and help him transition to another workbook or subject.

We got this for our 4th grader since she is really into horses. Like all of our Smart Games, it didn't disappoint. Still a good challenge for our 10 year old and us parents as well. Love all of our Smart Games and looking forward to getting more.

We love these Smart Games! We are almost done with Horse Academy, and I'm always so surprised how well the children learn with games like this. I am glad Timberdoodle includes thinking games in their curriculum.

Can't go wrong
Hayes
Can't go wrong with smart games. My kids love smart games so any time we get a new one it's an exciting day. My daughter was so excited to play this game. We enjoy working through brain puzzles like these. Some days we pull them all out and spend x amount of time just playing smart games. Glad to add this to our collection!
