Here's a look at a few of the best free horse games online... plus we have SIM virtual horse games, riding games, horse jumping games, and games that are just plain fun.
Free Horse Games - Show Jumping!
The horse jumping games below are a bit difficult when you first start out... The hard part is learning where the jumps are!! So take your time, figure the course out... then play all you want. It's free! Here's how:
Controls:
Up/Down arrows - Accelerate/Stop the horse. Notice the tiredness bar at the top right corner. If a horse gallops it gets tired quickly. The tired horse will trot.
Space bar: Jump. Remember, you can only jump when your horse gallops.
Left/Right arrows: Turn the horse to the left and to the right.
Directions: This game is about show jumping. Your horse is jumped over a course of fences, low walls and other obstacles. The goal is to jump cleanly over a winding, turning jump course within a time limit.
Obstacles should be taken according to their number. The number at an obstacle shows which side of the obstacle the horse should jump from. For every jump you don't clear, you get 4 fault points. Every second passed after the time is over adds 1 fault point to the score.

What are Virtual Horse Games?
Virtual horse games are typically where players buy or adopt a horse, and then care for, train, and compete with their horses. Many of these virtual online horse games are not entirely free horse games, as they require some form of login and password, and you "buy" playing time. You actually join a community of other players - it's become quite a sensation.
For instance, the virtual game called Riding Club Championship is an amazing game that is huge fun. You create your own stable with your friends, and compete against people from all over the world.
The upside is the game has excellent, very realistic graphics that really captures the feeling of riding. It's easy to get hooked! You can download the game and play it for a few hours for free. The down side is... well, after 2 hours you have to buy playing time. So if you're saving up for a new saddle or your next horse show, stick to the free horse games!
