Do you already know things about horses? Do you want to learn more about the anatomy and training horses? Come and learn all about horses. Each lesson the learners will learn about different topics that pertain to horses through videos and handouts. The learners will learn the anatomy inside and outside of the horse. Each lesson will have videos, handouts, and readings to talk about the different topics. After watching the videos or reading the materials, the students will participate by doing different activities for the lesson. Activities include a quiz on the readings, discussion in the portal, and games. I as the teacher will provide feedback once a week. I will check in on Fridays. No formal grades will be awarded. The students do need basic knowledge of the parts of the horse and basic care for horses. I do teach a beginner-level All About Horses class.
