My name is Robin and I’m the daughter of a bona fide Horse Girl. For ZiMo 2023, I wrote a 2-player game about the horse and the person trying to tame it. It draws both from the techniques used by a farrier family friend to tame horses and stories my mother told me from her youth.
The game also uses a completely unique mechanic: braiding of a ribbon to represent the growing trust between the horse and rider.
If this sounds like a game that appeals to you, you can back it here. There’s also some pretty neat stretch goals for accessible layout and a rosette for each copy of the game.
