What Parents Need to Know
About Horseland
Parents need to know there are two separate games offered in this site, both based on the cartoon series: Horseland Jr. for kids who are 6 to 12, and Horseland World for teens. Both sites are about owning, training, and caring for horses within a virtual community. The simplified Horseland Jr. will probably be most engaging to kids under 8 years old as graphics are simple and activities are very easy and safe. Horseland World is for a more mature audience. Teen players need to be on their toes to keep clear of hostile community members in the limited and very hard-to-read chat rooms. There's a filter, but you can post bad things if you're a creative speller, and the filter doesn't edit out any grown-up talk about sexual assault or taking drugs. There's also talk of horses in the game being slaughtered or abused. It's free to play as a basic player, but $30 a year gets you more options. Ads pop up a lot in the chat rooms and there's a link to buy Horseland products.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about safety online, especially in the Horseland World section where teens can chat with other members. What information should you share online, and what should you keep private? Families can also use this game to help kids understand the huge responsibility of horse ownership -- the care, time, and resources necessary to keep a horse healthy and happy. What sacrifices in a kid's busy schedule will have to be made to meet the daily requirements of the horse?
