She produces all of our &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/buyers-guides&quot;&gt;buying guides&lt;/a&gt; and gift guides, as well as organising product testing and bringing you &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/products&quot;&gt;news about the latest products&lt;/a&gt; to hit the market. If there’s a new launch, Franchesca is the first person to hear about it. She works with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/author/georgiaguerin&quot;&gt;Georgia Guerin&lt;/a&gt; to bring you the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/tag/deals&quot;&gt;best deals&lt;/a&gt; and is passionate about arming Horse &amp; Hound’s readers with honest, unbiased &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/reviews&quot;&gt;product reviews&lt;/a&gt;. Franchesca loves letting riders and horse owners know what products are coming out, how to make their lives easier and how to spend their money wisely. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franchesca’s lifelong love of horses started from a very young age as her mother was a riding instructor. She was unbeatable in the lead-rein showjumping and gymkhana games with her pony, Muffit. They regularly attended Pony Club and, as she lives on Hayling Island, spent plenty of time riding on the beach. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After leaving school she went on to study at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparsholt.ac.uk/&quot;&gt;Sparsholt College&lt;/a&gt;, where she completed a National Diploma in equine management and BSc(Hons) degree in Equine Studies. She also competed on the inter-college riding team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once graduated, Franchesca went to work at her local tack shop and this is where her love for products really began. After working in retail she moved on to wholesale with Snowhill Trade Saddlery and worked her way up from sales advisor to office manager.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her next challenge was working at Horse&amp;Rider and PONY magazines as a sales executive. She then became Production Editor, which meant handling everything product related, from buying guides to product testing. She also worked on Equestrian Trade News and Endurance magazine as part of this role.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franchesca is known at her yard as the “catalogue queen” for her extensive knowledge of brands and products, and she has made it her mission to encourage people to shop with a purpose. She loves putting products through their paces and keeping a finger on the pulse for what&#039;s new in safety, such as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/buyers-guides/best-childrens-body-protectors-for-horse-riding-815448&quot;&gt;best body protectors for children&lt;/a&gt;, and fashion. She’s clocked up hundreds of miles in her favourite Aigle wellies and tested litres of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/buyers-guides/best-whitening-shampoos-779823&quot;&gt;best whitening shampoos&lt;/a&gt;, and now dedicates hours of her time sourcing the best products online so you don’t have to. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When she is not putting kit through its paces, she can be found riding, running around after her two miniature dachshunds or with her son making sand castles on the beach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franchesca owns an Irish Draught gelding “Sekonda”, and two shire horses, “Roxy” and “Sammy” who she shares with her partner. She also competes with her friend’s 15.2hh Irish Draught mare “Barbie”. Unfortunately for Franchesca, both the Irish Draughts are grey, so she spends a lot of time keeping them clean!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have a product you would like Franchesca to know about, please email her on &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:franchesca.slack@futurenet.com&quot;&gt;franchesca.slack@futurenet.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

There are various nine pieces that can fit on to the showjumping arena in a variety of different formats, with each piece containing a fence and a path denoting the horse’s route. The player chooses a puzzle from a booklet, which tells them which jumps to use, in which order and where the entrance and exit to the arena should be. They then have to work out a route around the arena using these parts.</p><p>The board games is designed for age 7+ and there are five levels, from “starter” to “wizard”. There are 80 different challenges within these levels, meaning there’s plenty of mileage in this game. As an adult, I thought I could begin at the middle level, “expert” but it turned out I needed to start from scratch with the most basic puzzle because it took me a while to get my head round how the pathways went. It turns out my spatial awareness is very poor and I couldn’t work out which way the path twisted! I really struggled with the harder puzzles and had to sneak a peek at the solutions at the back of the booklet – definitely cheating…</p><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/HlYZ9EKx.html" id="HlYZ9EKx" title="H&H meets Gemma Owen: dressage rider who rode in the Magnolia Cup charity race" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1400px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.29%;"><img id="hgK4JPSHtFH2ypXdr8XwXo" name="" alt="Horse Academy board game" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hgK4JPSHtFH2ypXdr8XwXo-1920-80.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hgK4JPSHtFH2ypXdr8XwXo.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1400" height="788" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Starting out with an easy challenge to get into the swing of it </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: creditUnknown)</span></figcaption></figure><p>My children tried this out and quickly worked out the aim of the game and really enjoyed the challenges. My seven-year-old son is not horsey, but he understood the aim of the game, got stuck into the puzzle aspect and then loved steering the plastic horse over the course. Although the game is very structured in that you can only complete a challenge when the route goes the right way, it does give rise to inventive “free play”. My son soon established a combined training event whereby the horse moved on from the confines of the arena to various water jumps and other obstacles rigged up on the kitchen table. The rosette stickers are a nice touch, too.</p><p>My 15-year-old daughter had a go as well. She is horsey, and enjoyed the satisfaction of creating the perfect course. She said completing the puzzle felt “good for improving my problem-solving and spatial awareness”. Even as a teenager, she had a laugh steering the horse over some hair-raising jump-off angles – but for her it was more about completing a “wizard” challenge.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1400px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.29%;"><img id="7Vy9bgwac6Xx4WpAj2QaY4" name="" alt="IMG-0526" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7Vy9bgwac6Xx4WpAj2QaY4-1920-80.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7Vy9bgwac6Xx4WpAj2QaY4.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1400" height="788" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The “wizard” level is quite a challenge </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: creditUnknown)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The bright colours, rosettes, and appealing arena are attractive. My one reservation is that those of us with kids have a job keeping the amount of plastic to a minimum in the house, and this is yet more plastic, however it tidies away quickly and neatly into its cardboard box and doesn’t take up too much space. I just would prefer the parts to be made of wood or something more sustainable, but I appreciate that would ramp up the cost enormously.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1399px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.33%;"><img id="GmnVYBwbVZTqr4t8dW2ro9" name="" alt="Horse Academy board game" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GmnVYBwbVZTqr4t8dW2ro9-1920-80.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GmnVYBwbVZTqr4t8dW2ro9.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1399" height="788" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The model horse and rosette stickers are a fun touch </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: creditUnknown)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="verdict">Verdict</h2><p>This is a fun game with a horsey twist, with plenty of challenges to keep players occupied. As it’s very straightforward in its concept, it is easy to pick up the aim of the game. However, this also means that because it’s quite samey, players are unlikely to do more than a handful of challenges in one sitting. For this reason I would imagine it’s a game you dip in and out of rather than play throughout a long rainy afternoon. However, younger children may well enjoy developing the initial challenge into fun role play, which may give rise to setting up an entire equestrian world around the kitchen table.</p><p><strong>In the UK?

Martha has bred two event horses by Cevin Z from her own horse of a lifetime, Fizz, one of which is now eventing at CCI4* with Alice Hallows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martha is currently enjoying producing a seven-year-old ex-racehorse, Mac, who she believes might need someone better and braver than her to do him justice in eventing. She enjoys jumping, hacking and fitness work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martha is also besotted with dogs – with a huge soft spot for springer spaniels – though with no competitive ambitions in this sphere whatsoever. After growing up with assorted liver and white springers, she had two rescue dogs for 14 years, one a street dog from Gambia who was abandoned at three weeks old. Now, her constant companion, whether by her feet at her desk or walking cross-country courses, is Fidget, an extremely energetic and habitually muddy black and white springer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martha also writes for expert advice guide &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.petsradar.com/author/martha-terry&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;PetsRadar&lt;/a&gt;, and was editor for Petplan Equine’s magazine &lt;em&gt;Paces&lt;/em&gt; for seven years.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

There are various nine pieces that can fit on to the showjumping arena in a variety of different formats, with each piece containing a fence and a path denoting the horse’s route. The player chooses a puzzle from a booklet, which tells them which jumps to use, in which order and where the entrance and exit to the arena should be. They then have to work out a route around the arena using these parts.</p><p>The board games is designed for age 7+ and there are five levels, from “starter” to “wizard”. There are 80 different challenges within these levels, meaning there’s plenty of mileage in this game. As an adult, I thought I could begin at the middle level, “expert” but it turned out I needed to start from scratch with the most basic puzzle because it took me a while to get my head round how the pathways went. It turns out my spatial awareness is very poor and I couldn’t work out which way the path twisted! I really struggled with the harder puzzles and had to sneak a peek at the solutions at the back of the booklet – definitely cheating…</p><iframe src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/HlYZ9EKx.html" id="HlYZ9EKx" title="H&H meets Gemma Owen: dressage rider who rode in the Magnolia Cup charity race" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen></iframe><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1400px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.29%;"><img id="hgK4JPSHtFH2ypXdr8XwXo" name="" alt="Horse Academy board game" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hgK4JPSHtFH2ypXdr8XwXo-1920-80.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hgK4JPSHtFH2ypXdr8XwXo.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1400" height="788" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Starting out with an easy challenge to get into the swing of it </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: creditUnknown)</span></figcaption></figure><p>My children tried this out and quickly worked out the aim of the game and really enjoyed the challenges. My seven-year-old son is not horsey, but he understood the aim of the game, got stuck into the puzzle aspect and then loved steering the plastic horse over the course. Although the game is very structured in that you can only complete a challenge when the route goes the right way, it does give rise to inventive “free play”. My son soon established a combined training event whereby the horse moved on from the confines of the arena to various water jumps and other obstacles rigged up on the kitchen table. The rosette stickers are a nice touch, too.</p><p>My 15-year-old daughter had a go as well. She is horsey, and enjoyed the satisfaction of creating the perfect course. She said completing the puzzle felt “good for improving my problem-solving and spatial awareness”. Even as a teenager, she had a laugh steering the horse over some hair-raising jump-off angles – but for her it was more about completing a “wizard” challenge.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1400px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.29%;"><img id="7Vy9bgwac6Xx4WpAj2QaY4" name="" alt="IMG-0526" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7Vy9bgwac6Xx4WpAj2QaY4-1920-80.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7Vy9bgwac6Xx4WpAj2QaY4.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1400" height="788" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The “wizard” level is quite a challenge </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: creditUnknown)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The bright colours, rosettes, and appealing arena are attractive. My one reservation is that those of us with kids have a job keeping the amount of plastic to a minimum in the house, and this is yet more plastic, however it tidies away quickly and neatly into its cardboard box and doesn’t take up too much space. I just would prefer the parts to be made of wood or something more sustainable, but I appreciate that would ramp up the cost enormously.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1399px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.33%;"><img id="GmnVYBwbVZTqr4t8dW2ro9" name="" alt="Horse Academy board game" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GmnVYBwbVZTqr4t8dW2ro9-1920-80.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GmnVYBwbVZTqr4t8dW2ro9.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1399" height="788" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">The model horse and rosette stickers are a fun touch </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: creditUnknown)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="verdict">Verdict</h2><p>This is a fun game with a horsey twist, with plenty of challenges to keep players occupied. As it’s very straightforward in its concept, it is easy to pick up the aim of the game. However, this also means that because it’s quite samey, players are unlikely to do more than a handful of challenges in one sitting. For this reason I would imagine it’s a game you dip in and out of rather than play throughout a long rainy afternoon. However, younger children may well enjoy developing the initial challenge into fun role play, which may give rise to setting up an entire equestrian world around the kitchen table.</p><p><strong>In the UK?
