Horse Show

Gather ‘round for some blue-ribbon fun. Horse Show offers fine  equestrian festivities with no messy cleanup. Each horse show consists  of three events. Players enter their best horse for whichever event is  in play to try to win the blue ribbon. There are four horse shows in  each game, and each blue-ribbon event is a jumper, hunter, dressage, or  equitation event. After they have been played, the player with the most  blue-ribbon event cards is the winner.

Each event favors some horses and penalizes others so choose carefully. Special assist cards, like braiding kits and custom saddles, are worth extra points. Win the most blue ribbon cards and ride to victory! Horse Show lets children play a strategic game based on horse shows, learning about authentic tack and actual show events. The horses themselves are the game's characters, with lively personalities felt through the illustrations.
