a Board Game about Horses, an idea made into reality...

Jennifer explains, my mother read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This book is all about residual income, real estate, inventions, etc.  After reading the book, she called me one day and said....."as much as you know about kids and as much as you know about horses, there are no good Board Games out there to target this market...why don't you make one??"

I laughed and said "Sure mom...I 'll get right on it!!"  but much to my surprise, as I was traveling on an airplane to another business appt., it jumped into my head.  I wrote the ideas down quickly and that began 2 years of learning and development of the game.  I had 3 different Artists that drew the board and decided on Delia Pacheco as my artist.  She captured just the look that I wanted.  Pat Kasper of Kasper Design was hired to produce the beautiful playing pieces that are also in the game.    There were costly learning curves in the production, but 2 years later in 2003, Gallop Home Train your horse and WIN was born.  After that, Gallop Home Coloring Book, was released in the Fall of 2003. In the Fall of 2004 Gallop Home Puzzle Kits were released.  Art work by Delia Pacheco and manufactured and distributed by GallopHome LLC.

That is the story in a nutshell...

On a personal note:

Jen is a wonderful imaginative person in all her visions, a great amount of time and money has been put into this game for production. What a great way to get your kids to learn about horses, whether you own one or not...With the popularity, Toys R Us has this game in 50 stores in the U.S. as well as many online stores and cataloges.
