Timberdoodle's Review

Horse Academy Smart Game

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! 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.

Love It!

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!

Smart Games does it Again

My horse loving girly loved when she saw that Smart Games had released a horse themed logic game and this one did not disappoint. So much fun while working on her thinking, planning, and logic skills.

Smart Games is the best

We have never meet a Smart Games product that we haven't liked! This is a fun theme and is a good challenge for my 3rd grader. Such good quality as well.

Wonderful critical thinking tool

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.
