Are There Any Computer Games That Simulate What It Is Like To Own A Horse?

          Many children and some adults dream of owning a horse, but cannot do so for financial reasons, or because of where they live. Luckily, there are a couple of computer games that do a good job of simulating how it is like to own and care for a horse. One such example is Sim Horsey (www.angelfire.com/hi/simhorsey2).

          This is a free cyber game that you can join by simply signing up through an interactive form. You can choose how many horses (or ponies) you wish to care for and whether you want them to be male or female. You are given $200 000 when you start the game and you will need this money to find accommodation for your horse(s) and for yourself. You can also use this money to purchase more horses.


          Virtual Horse Stable (www.virtualhorseranch.com) appears to be a more complex, developed game, where you can actually build your own ranch, or farm. This is also an internet-based game and you will compete with other players.

Www.howrse.com is a site where you can breed virtual horses, take care of them and you even get to SEE them. There are different breeds, colors, and special effects where you can turn them into a Pegasus or a unicorn. You can have as many horses as you want, but you start out with ONE then you can bred more or buy them at auctions. If you get an account on this site, tell them that horse_handler13 referred you to www.howrse.com
