This is a classic birthday party game that will embellish your theme and keep young guests entertained. You can buy a horse decal to play this game on or, if you’re good at drawing you can make your own.

Then make horse tails for your daughter and guests by cutting out strips of construction paper, attaching several together with a staple, and adding a bow on top, like in the photo below. Make a tale for each guest and attach a loop of masking tape to the back of it. Then blind fold your guests and have them take turns pinning their tails.

Cowgirl Birthday Party Games: Lasso Game
For this game, you’ll need to prepare a rope with a lasso knot and cover a bail of hay with a sheet or blanket. You’ll also need a target, something a lasso can easily fit around, like a stick horse, set up five or six feet away from the bail of hay. Have guests take turns trying to lasso the target, while sitting on the bail of hay, like they would a horse. Learn how to tie and throw a lasso here. Give your guests some pointers on how to throw the rope before starting the game.
