Are you talking riding games, or games you can play on the ground with them.
As far as riding games
There is barrel racing
Key Hole, you make a dash for a pen that has three sides do a complete 360 without knocking the rails down and dash back out of it.
Pole bending
Flag race where you have a flag and have to get in the bucket with sand as you gallop by the bucket.
as far as on the ground
My friend used to play keep away with his stallion, they played with the empty feed bags. They have movies of it. I've played tag and hide and seek with the foals, but don't recommend it once they are bigger. You can also get the tether balls, but don't hang it and you can play fetch if you can get them trained.

You set up about 15 poles and weeve your horses threw them as fast as you can, or you can set a barrel at each end of the arena and use a golf ball to run your horse from one barrel carrying the ball to place it as fast as you can on the other barrel without it falling off the barrel then run your horse to the other barrel you started at and time it to see how fast you was. You can practice riding side by side in sort of trick turns with each other to make your horse stay side by side and make a dance out of it together. You can DYE your horses for halloween and go trick or treating on horse back door to door as goat ropers (goat ropers = cowboys)

Theres riding games (like barral racing, poles, etc. and gamblers choice (a jumping game), and jumping games where you take turns doing diffrent sized jumps) or horse fun games. There are things like egg and spoon races, obsticle courses, gymkahana's, ride a buck (where you and your friends or in a show where you put a doller beneth your leg and go threw the normal gaits and the last one with the dollar still in place wins everyone elses dollars) and stuff like that too! Hope that helped!

well alot of people have already said keyhole but i'll say that too. barrels, poles, foot n hoof (in a areana put cross rails around the outside a run around them, have someone hold your horse and after you have ran around and jumped them get on your horse and jump them. sorry if i didn't explain that very well), rescue race (one person is being held "hostage" at one end of the ring one rider runs down on the horse, helps the "hostage" rider up and they both ride to the finsh line on one horse), ride a buck (a rider rides a horse bare back with a dollar bill under there knee. whoever wins get all the dollars that fell), odds n ends race (one rider gets name of a object, rides down to get the object out of the box and leads the horse back), and my favaritethe horse shoe race (all the kids take off one boot and leaves it at the end of the ring mounts there horse at the starting line, gollops down to were there shoes are jumps off the horse finds there boot puts it on jumps back on there horse on run back to the finsh line).
we have all these for are game day. we ride english so the horses are confused and it always ends up really funny.

Yes, actually there are quite a few. My association is a Gymkhana association...timed events on horseback. We have a total of 13 different events that we do on a regular basis. I could list them all or you could check it out for yourself on their website www.calgymkhana.com. I would think that there are other associations in different states, you could try Google also. I would have to warn you though...they can become quite addicting they are so fun...and the horses love it! (well most of them do :) ).

I know a website, it's kind of babyish but if you sign up for the 13 or older it's not so bad. It's called www.horseland.com there is also one called pony island or something, but you have to pay
