Horse Riding Game

In this horse riding game you're a cowboy patrolling the open ranges of the old wild west and have to demonstrate your horse riding skills by avoiding snakes and other obstacles. An open range was a term used in the old wild west, but still in use in some places today, where cattle was allowed to roam freely even on land not owned by the cattle owner with the onus being on a landowner who didn't want his land to be used for feeding to erect fences to keep them out. By the time of the railways most open ranges had been curtailed to prevent cattle wandering onto the railroads potentially harming trains and their passengers who were travelling at relatively high speeds. By the 1870s barbed wire had been invented making it more practical and cheap to build enclosures to keep cattle in the open ranges and off developed land. In this horse riding game use your arrow keys to move your horse and avoid obstacles. After you play this Open Range game why not check out and play our other western themed games?
