Difficult Rating:  Easy

Age Range:  3-6 years old

Favorite Features:

• The game has three settings to make the horse more sensitive to buck.
• The pieces are made very durable.
• The children love it when it bucks.
• Moderately interactive with the other players.

Inconvenient Features:

• Lots of pieces to keep track of.
• Have to take the horse apart to put it back in the box.
• Setting the horse to buck requires some effort to get the spring to latch.

Recommendations:  If you have a child who loves horses, this game is for them.  Sure there are a lot of parts, but the anticipation on your children’s faces and the joy when the horse finally bucks are worth it. It is a great game to teach hand-eye coordination.
