Showjumping is an equestrian sport in which a rider and horse try to jump over all of the fences on a course, in the correct order, without knocking them down. This activity requires a high level of teamwork between horse and rider. But with training and practice, competitors may someday compete at the Olympics!
The newest game from Smart Games, Horse Academy, challenges your child to create a path so that his horse jumps over obstacles in the correct sequence to reach the finish. Obstacles are placed to jump over in the same order as shown in the challenge. Sometimes you must jump the same barrier more than once!
There is only one solution for each of the 80 challenges, with answers found at the end of the challenge booklet. Horse Academy is for ages 7+ and helps build cognitive skills, including spatial insight, planning, and problem-solving.
Step 1: Choose a challenge. Place your horse at the starting point and the gate at the finish.
Step 2: Create a path from start to finish. Obstacles should be placed to jump over in the same order as shown in the challenge. Sometimes you will jump the same fence more than once!
Step 3: There is only one solution found at the end of the challenge booklet.
