Great & Terrible Horses

Horses are terrible. They are also majestic creatures. You know this first-hoof because you are a horse. You’re here at the county fair to show off and win a ribbon. But do you really care about blue ribbons? Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you want to break out of the paddock and strike terror into the hearts of humankind? Or at the very least, steal the apples from the bobbing for apples game? 

If you want more horse customization options than I have provided in the game, I highly recommend A Random Horse. Bypass the entire character creation section if you want, and just use this generator, or any other random horse generator that speaks to your heart. There are a weird number of random horse generators online.

This is a hack of Honey Heist by Grant Howitt for 2-6 players. Except instead of being about bears, it's about horses. This game was loosely but directly inspired by a conversation about the Things That Are Wrong With Horses post on Tumblr. It combines my love for horses with my friend's abject terror at the concept of horses.
