Online Games

For those who are not familiar with horse games online for kids, they are the new fad in online entertainment for children. These games are mostly multimedia applications made in Flash, from Adobe software. The flash platform allows developers to design cute little ponies, who end up being the main characters in their game application. Furthermore, children are allowed to interact with the horse characters by means of the mouse, or a few keys from the keyboard. The end product is an entertaining application which allows children to play, ride, jump, or race a horse online free.

One such example of a well made horse game for kids is "Horsey Racing", by Gamesheep. These folks have really done it by sponsoring a horse game application that really appeals to children. The game starts off by offering players the choice of a quick race, or a tournament. Once the player has made his selection, he is then taken to the difficulty screen where he is required to select the level of difficulty of his game. The difficulty settings are color coded for easier understanding, and an abundant choice of eight different difficulty levels is available.

The horse game also features an easy set of controls which enable the player to spend most of his time playing and enjoying the game, than working his way through game options. The use of controls is limited to a single mouse click to jump, or a double click to jump even higher. The position of the horse in the game screen will be automatically determined by the position of your mouse cursor.

The game instructions recommend a lower speed, left position, which will enable the player to see the obstacles easier and provide enough time to be able to plan on how to avoid them. Keeping your horsey to the right will give you more speed, but at the same time you won't see obstacles coming, thus less time to react and jump over them. This makes it especially difficult for larger obstacles, which require a double click to successfully jump over them.

The graphics included in this game portray a number of cute little ponies, with lively colors like blue and pink. Pleasing background images and enticing music score complement the game playing experience.

The object of the game is to complete the course all the way to the end. You are given three chances until its game over. At the end of the game, the player is given a chance to go back to the main menu, to submit his score, and also take a look at the top fifty players in the web. Overall, "Horsey Racing" is a great horse game for kids to play online free. It is fun, intuitive and can easily provide for hours of fun. With eight different levels to choose from, it is highly unlikely that you will complete this game anytime soon.
