All types of Horses, Pegasus, Unicorns, and other horse type creatures are welcome. 

 Students will learn how to make props and accessories to use when playing with their toy or model horses.

Why a flex class? 
* Flexible schedule classes are wonderful for families who have busy schedules or are sometimes unable to commit to a certain day or time. 
* Learners from all time zones may participate 
* Videos may be paused or re-watched at any time. 
* If any questions arise, the instructor is just an email away.

The class offers a series of prerecorded videos that you will have access to, as well as individualized assessments of their work and the opportunity to share their work with fellow learners. Students will be given an assignment every week.  Positive comments on other students work is encouraged. Students will use team work to learn skills.

Each week the students will receive a video and assignment.  

Each Monday I will post a video with the assignment  of the week. Students can choose to submit their projects by Friday Night if they would like feedback. The teacher will give feedback on Saturday or Sunday if projects have been posted.
