Did such a game, from the makers of Mousetrap maybe, ever exist? I never had it. I think maybe you had to place things on the horse without setting off its mechanism from bucking all over the place.
I can't find a google reference to it anywhere. Am I making it up?

    Yay! Thankyou!
    I just looked it up on wikipedia. They withdrew it for a while in america because bits flew up in a kid's face. I have an amusing image of health&safety with kids playing it in goggles and white coats.
