This is a little bit of fun that I thought people might enjoy. The aim is to complete the bingo board by buying (or already owning) horses that fit that brief. For example in the breed board there are lots of different breeds, so to get the square for 'Arabian' you would need to buy an Arabian. There are also a few boards that require you to have created the thing, for example the 'I Did This' board is for things you've made. You could also adapt the 'Colours' boards for a similar purpose.
Just as with the 30 Day Challenges you can interpret these cards as you wish. Some may be obvious such as 'Arabian' but others like the ones on the bargains board may be more open to interpretation. They are just a bit of fun and there is no right or wrong way to complete them!
These are also a great game to play at live shows, print them off and then have some fun. Maybe everyone could get a card and then have to find a model for each square? Or maybe the collector who has everything on the board at that show wins a prize? Or maybe you could even have a game of bingo drawing the names out of a hat!
I would love to see pictures of your completed boards. Either share them online with #CRCollectorBingo or send them to [email protected] and we will feature them in our 'fans gallery'. Equally if you have a suggestion for a bingo you would like to see then just drop me an email! I'm always happy to add more, remember each one has 24 squares so it has to be something where you could easily come up with 24 suggestions (e.g. Breyer moulds works, but Copperfox moulds would not).
At the bottom I've added a 'live show bingo'. We've been playing this game for years and I just had to add a board!
Show Holders: If you like the idea and want to create your own board please just drop me an email at: [email protected] and I can send you the template!

Live Show Bingo!!!
Bingo Bucket! A Live Show Game
For this game you will need:
Bingo Cards (x3)
Model Horses (x75 - or less if you want to make it harder)
Introduction
The number of cards and models you need will depend on the number of players. We recommend 25 models for each card, but you can play this with less, it is just more likely to end in a stalemate.
For the horses we recommend you use mini whinnies, or small cheap models. Anything where you can get lots of them relatively cheaply. They could be damaged so use bodies. Each model needs to fit within a square of the card.
We recommend breaking into teams of 4 or 5. So for a live show with 15 people three cards would be enough.
Setting Up
Print out the Bingo cards onto A4 sheets of paper. You may want to laminate as well.
Put all the model horses (this would also work with other animals) into a box or bucket.
Place the cards around the table/floor and put the bucket of model horses in the centre.
How to Play
Players have 2 minutes in which to find all the models to fill their Bingo card. You could use breeds or colours for this.
MAKE SURE IT IS POSSIBLE TO WIN! Go through your bucket and place horses on cards, ensure you can fill up an entire card prior to playing!
Once the 2 minutes is up the team with the most correct models on spaces wins!
The Rules
Each person can only have one model in their hand at any one time
Models must be returned to the bucket immediately if they are rejected
It is up to the judge to determine whether a model fits a square or not
No stealing of other peoples models!
If you knock another person's card your team must sit still for 5 seconds
No physical contact
Adapting the Game
You can adapt and change the game in anyway you wish, you may want to make the time longer, or make it indefinite until a team completes a card. You could also make the Bingo cards smaller 4x4 or 3x3 to make it quicker and easier to complete.
The game works well with other animals as well!
