Class Experience

Intermediate - Advanced Level
This course will help learners establish a foundation for understanding how the horse's body systems are structured, how they function and how this is important to the care of these amazing animals. 

During a once-weekly live discussion with PowerPoint slides, we will cover a body system/organs. We will relate that back to practical application in caring for our horses. 

Learners will be asked to watch additional videos after class and to comment on a discussion question each week. This will allow further understanding and engagement with the group. Optional projects and quick quizzes are available for those who would like to participate. 

Finally each student will be asked to create an equine biology project based on a horse lifestyle/life stage that will be assigned or approved by the teacher. This project will be based on the biological and practical needs of the chosen horse lifestyle/life stage and can be done using any medium the learner chooses. This includes a short story, a series of drawings, a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation or other medium approved in advance. Students will share their project in class. They will not be receiving a grade on this project. There us no rubric. This is for fun and for deeper exploration as the learner begins their study of practical equine anatomy and physiology.

Learning Goals

Learners will begin to develop an understanding of equine anatomy and physiology.
Learners will use the knowledge they now have about the body systems and use their critical thinking skills to relate that back to the practical ways we care for equines to keep them happy and healthy.

I am a certified veterinary technician and have bred, raised, trained and shown horses for many years. I have a M.Ed. from Colorado State University and a Master of Veterinary Education (MVEd) from Lincoln Memorial University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. 

I have been teaching  at local community colleges in veterinary Assistant Programs and a variety of Veterinary Science programs for grades 3-5, 6-8, and high school. I also teach at a private university in an equine studies program. 

Along with that, I am also a homeschool mom! At home, my family has 2 mini horses, 4 Nigerian dwarf goats, 6 chickens and 4 cats! 

 I am absolutely passionate about sharing my experience and love for animals and Equine and veterinary sciences with others and look forward to helping your learner explore the possibilities! 

 It is exciting to share my love for horses with the next generation of equestrians!
