Horse Sites for Kids

Like cats and dogs, horses are often a favorite animal of children. Thanks to the many horse websites for kids that are available, children who do not live near a ranch can still learn about horses and play virtual games that simulate racing a horse or taking care of a stable. Such sites often also provide sections for horse information, stories and quizzes.
