It seems that many horse people have crafty tendencies as well, (what else is there to do when it’s snowing?) whether you are 8, 18 or 68 making beautiful things is always very satisfying.
Finding the Goods
Recently I’ve been doing posts about horse games in various forms & trying to organize the many types of equine entertainment available to us. Most recently it’s the more traditional board games & puzzles, but there is plenty of electronic fun there too. With each item I provided a brief description & a link to where they can be found on Amazon.
There is a fun for horse lovers of all ages here. Some of the kiddie stuff is so cute even adults can enjoy it. Don’t worry, I won’t tell.

Oh, latch hook! I used to love those growing up. I never got around to finishing any of them off though, so I have numerous projects sitting around in storage waiting for me to turn them into a rug or pillow!
