Points to consider

Words of caution

Some people object to the very nature of rodeos citing animal cruelty as their main concern. Whilst all the characters within the game are “toys” and there is no hint of cruelty against the horses or animals in the round up, people who are against rodeos may wish to avoid this game.

Positive aspects

There is no text or written instructions for children to grapple with and the games are simple with small increments of difficulty.

Questions to ask

Parents may wish to discuss their concerns about rodeos or animal cruelty with their children.
