It has been such a nice day for the horses in the field! Now they must quickly trot back to the horse farm – but they need different things in their stalls, such as a bundle of carrots or a sack of oats, so the players have to collect these items on the way back to the horse farm. Whoever chooses the right die and has some luck will be the first to bring his horse back into a stall.

In Hoppe Reiter, the players bring their horses back from the paddock to the stables. On a turn, the player rolls both dice before deciding which to use. He can either move his horse toward the stables or collect an item and fit it into his puzzle board. Only when the puzzle board is full can he move his horse into a stall, and the aim of the game is to be the first to do just that.
