Does anyone have a fun good equestrian game for kids and teens with their horses??
like physical games not computer games…like barrel racing and other little things not big like that though
HUMAN HORSE SHOWS!! We do this in my 4H club for the horseless members (members without horses). You basically take the class list of a normal show, English w/t, English pleasure w/t/c, western w/j, western pleasure w/j/l, and even wester gaming and jumping classes. Basically your upper half is the Rider and your lower half is the horse. When judging you look for correct upper body posture while riding, and correct lead, etc, in the lower body.
Some games you can play on horseback at shows for any age rider are:
Egg and Spoon: last person to loose their egg is the winner
Dollar Bareback: youre riding bareback and stick a dollar at your thigh, do w/t/c, and whoever has their dollar bill left, have them move it down to their knee, repeat w/t/c, then move it down to their calf, repeat w/t/c until only one person has their dollar left, its also used to see how good of a leg you have while riding.
Musical Feedsacks: put down feed sacks in a circle, one person leads the horse, the other is riding. when the music stops, well you know how musical chairs goes, oh and one way only, no turning around.
Wheelbarrow Races: one person the the wheel barrow holding the horse, other person pushing the wheel barrow, run to one end of arena, and switch, and run back. group with fastest time wins.
There are entire books on games on horseback. Easy all the way up to hard. Pony Club has tons of games on horse back as well. look on www.youngrider.com, and search the articles for games. I know theyve had ones in there before. Good Luck, and HAVE FUN!!!!!!

One of the most effective ways to get a word-of-mouth campaign going online is to use forum posting to market a product. Forums are wildly popular and are often visited by people with very specific interests. There are forums for people with children, for singles, for those who work in certain professions, those who love online games, and more. There are forums that have tens of thousands of members and are teeming with people who have an interest in the general topic.
To use these populations to your best advantage, itâs important to belong to several forums that have some type of relation to what youâre selling. If itâs an E-book about horses, you might choose a forum for horse lovers, one about pets and one about activities for kids. All of the posters at these forums will be potentially interested in what youâre selling.
To start marketing through forum posting, sign up with a user name that sounds friendly and non-promotional. If the regular forum posters see a new member with a name like âbuy-horse-E-book,â it may put them on the defensive. Instead, you want to integrate yourself as a part of the community. Choose a name that is friendly and perhaps even funny. Once you have an account, personalize it with a signature file. This is what will occupy the space below each of your posts. A few words about the product you are selling and a link to where forum members can buy it is a good use of the signature space.
Spend some time introducing yourself and talking about the topic before ever bringing up the item you are selling. Forum posting should be a somewhat subtle form of marketing because many forums have policies against posts that are too promotional. Post anytime someone asks a question that can be resolved with your product and you may see a spike in sales. Even when your forum posting isnât about your product, however, some people will click on your signature link and discover what you are selling for themselves.
One way to hook forum members and make them eager to buy from you is to have some type of deal to offer forum members only. This may be a coupon code that forum members use to get a percentage off the regular price. When offered a special deal that is only available to them, the members of the forum may not be able to pass it up.
One of the most important things to remember when using forum posting as a marketing strategy is to always stay within the rules of the forum. Stay in the good graces of the other members and follow the rules or you will alienate the regular members and build a bad name for yourself as well as for your product. Familiarize yourself with the rules and notice the way people talk to each other on the forum before diving in. This will ensure that you are accepted as one of their own and can use this marketing opportunity to its best advantage.

Are wooden toys betters than plastic? In order to answer this question we would need to define âbetterâ. I have to admit to being biased towards wood so Iâve been pondering why this is the case.
Â
When it comes to your children, nothing’s too good for them, although some things are certainly too good to be true. These days, literally well over 99 percent of the toys offered for sale to your children are made of plastic and metal. Natural wood toys are nearly non-existent. That’s sad really. They’re an important part of our heritage and culture, and chances are they’re safer than plastic toys as well.
Â
How many times have we been told that a plastic or painted toy is safe, only to see it recalled or find out it has lead in the paint or plastic body or is unsafe for any number of other reasons? This holds especially true for very small children and babies. These little ones will be putting whatever they play with in their mouths, and plastics, painted toys and metals probably aren’t high on the list of things you want in your baby’s mouth.
Â
If we are considering the environment and the ultimate destination for many toys (which is landfill) then wood is clearly the better material. If we are thinking about robustness and the resilience of the material to the treatment that toys receive at the hands of their owners then both materials can perform well, depending upon the toy.
Â
When it comes to plastic toys and wooden toys, there is more of a chance that plastic toys will be purchased. However, consumers don’t seem to consider buying a wooden toy for their kid instead. In a few ways, it would be more worth the while to get.
Â
Let’s think of a few differences between the two. Plastic toys: they can break easily and the edges could harm the little children. Wooden toys, on the other hand, are more durable. If you were to stand on a toy truck made of plastic, there is a great chance that it will break, possibly leaving sharp edges that could cut your child; and be fit only for the rubbish.
Â
Wooden toys on the other hand encourage your kids to use their creativity, when either they make the toys themselves or play with them. Simple activities such as making cookies at their own toy kitchen, or riding a wooden Arabian horse and so on, boost a childâs creativity and visualization.
Â
You probably wonder why parents opt to offer their children the common wooden type of toys instead of the cheaper plastic toys commonly produced in China. Many consider that having plastic toys is more practical than wooden toys because of the cost factor. Although plastic toys are cheaper compared to wooden toys, long term consideration proves that the latter is better than the former.
Â
Wood is a natural made material which can be subjected to recycling. This means that aside from providing entertainment for your child, you can also pro actively help in preventing further degradation of the environment. Moreover, children appear to be more attached to playing with wooden toys.
Â
Play is an essential part of a child’s learning and emotional development. Wooden toys are a sensible choice for the very young. Children’s wooden toys include toys such as miniature farm animals sets for infants and doll houses for young girls and boys. Many wooden toys are also educational toys for young school children, such as puzzles, building blocks, and more.
Â
Wooden toys are also more durable than their plastic or metal counterparts. Thus with proper care, it is possible to make these toys last a child’s entire childhood and maybe even hand them down to their children.
Â
How are wooden toys invented? Wooden toys are invented because wood is the only easily available materials where one can make toys from with simple tools. Sad to speak, it’s hard to find wooden toys in toy stores these days.
Â
Online toy stores offer a wide variety of wooden toys to choose from. And sometimes, it’s easier to find what you want because modern toy stores these days mostly sell plastic toys.
Â
Have you ever seen a child in a room full of the latest toys and found the child to be playing with old fashioned childrenâs wooden toys that were a big hit when you were young? What is it about this sight that is so comforting? Is it because the childâs wooden toy makes us feel nostalgic or is there something else at play here? In our world of plastic throw-away goods it is comforting to see lasting goods lasting. It is especially comforting to see goods which are felt to be worthy enough to be passed on from generation to generation. The latest gadget on the latest toy has not made traditional childrenâs wooden toys any less desirable to children, or even to adults for that matter.
Â
Childrenâs wooden toys are toys which are made using a natural product as opposed to a product like plastic which is a product that we are trying to recycle but nevertheless remains a product which costs less to produce new than to recycle. If a childâs wooden toy is made from a sustainable forest thatâs even better as it is actually helping out our troubled environment. This is only one of the reasons we feel better towards wood than towards plastic. There are also many emotional reasons why wooden toys feel better.
Â
To touch and explore is often considered as one of the most important aspects of most educational programs that help a child develop different capabilities. Letting your kids play with wooden toys would unmistakably encourage them to learn by touching and exploring. Moreover, you could even purchase wooden toys and games specially meant to educate the kids.
Â
Plastic toys come in all shapes and sizes so there are bound to be lots of brightly coloured playthings that attract the attention of your child, no matter how old they are. They are durable, washable and usually pretty safe, but as with all toys there are toy safety checks to watch out for when you are buying the perfect toy for your child.
Â
The most important toy safety check for all toys, including plastic toys, is that they have the appropriate safety marks. Although the CE Mark is not in fact a consumer symbol, it does mean that the toy you are looking for will have passed stringent safety tests and conform with a list of essential safety requirements. If any plastic toys that you are thinking of buying donât have the CE Mark, you should avoid them because you canât be sure whether they will be safe for your child to play with.

I lost my camera and am kinda looking to buy a new one. I don’t know what camera would be best for what I do though. I usually take tons of pictures of horses (generally their always running) football games, kids playing, so basically everything is action shots. Preferably a high zoom, and capable of taking videos would be a plus. Also really clear pictures, my last one was kinda blurry. Maybe up to a $500 dollar range.. What camera would you recomend for what I would be using it for?
For action shots, you cannot beat an SLR. Thus for $500, try the Nikon D40 or perhaps a Canon Rebel XT.
With the Nikon, add the 55-200mm VR lens and you’ll be getting better shots.
Sorry, no video, but for action stills, a digital SLR cannot be beaten–especially for things like shutter delay, focusing, ability to be flexible, etc.
