Horses are beautiful, graceful, majestic, creatures. We are fascinated with horses - we can communicate with them and spend hours grooming, feeding, watching and playing with them.

In return, a strong bond is built and we learn to respect them and commit to caring for them.

DYK?

Contact with horses can produce positive mental and emotional effects on the people around them. Grooming has a pleasurable calming effect on the horse, cementing a trusting bond between horse and human.

Communicating praise through playing, giving treats and gentle scratching is an important role in training horses and will help to gain their trust.

Here are some of the benefits of contact between horses and people: you may be able to think of more!

• Building relationships

• Learning new ways to communicate

• Building confidence

• Learning trust & understanding

• Taking responsibility for an animal

• Creative thinking

• Thinking about solutions if there is a problem

• Learning to be in charge of a living creature

The vision for Myhorseclub.com

When we launched Myhorseclub.com we hoped to take this fascination and love of horses to a whole new dimension - a 3D virtual world and nearly a whole year later, we think we've done just that!

In MyHorseClub.com you enter an exciting world where you can ride, compete, connect, share and chat with an online community of horse lovers worldwide!

You can collect information about each horse such as the where he is from, the type of coat, the importance of maintenance and having the right equipment to look after your horse.

Joining is free and each new member is given a virtual Henson horse with stables and three horse boxes.

You are supplied with the equipment you need, like never-ending Hay and Brushes so you can start grooming and feeding your horse straightaway.

Collect CLOPS!

Collect 'CLOP's loyalty points as you ride. As soon as you build up your CLOPs you can use them to ‘exchange' stuff in the eShop.
