Game: Horse Life Adventures

Video games are cool for multiple reasons, but they're especially good at offering substitutions in areas where real life fails. For example, how many kids beg their parents for a pony? Pretty much all of them. How many are disappointed because their parents can't afford a pony, or are disallowed to keep it in the garage? Pretty much all of them. But through the magic of games, horse enthusiasts can go galloping across the rolling hills—unless they're playing Horse Life Adventures for iOS, which lets them look at their horse and not do much else.
