This is an ongoing course where students can start and/or stop at any time. All students will have an opportunity to be engaged in an inquiry-approach to learning about horses. Prepared topics are shared below, but students are encouraged to bring their own questions. Answers will be provided as much as possible using hands-on live horse and pony learning demonstrations. Week of August 1: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Anatomy and Function Week of August 8: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Color and Genetics Week of August 15: Getting to Know the Horse: Different Breed Types Week of August 22: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Diet and Nutrition Week of August 29: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Behavior and Habits Week of September 5: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Handling Week of September 12: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Grooming Week of September 19: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Equipment for Riding Week of September 26: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Trailering and Travel Week of October 3: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Dental Care Week of October 10: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Hoof Care Week of October 17: Getting to Know the Horse: Horse Lunging Week of October 24: Getting to Know the Horse: Riding and Gaits Other topics: Horse Training Horses in Art Horses in Film Horses in History Horses in Literature Horses in Science Horses in Sports Career with Horses Vacations with Horses The class may use direct instruction, games, slides, and video clips as deemed educationally appropriate. The goal for this style of class is to engage students as much as possible in their own learning with our horses, using effective communication skills, with an ongoing focus on "all things horses." My teaching style is always student-centered and I will be teaching live from our farm. If students have topics they want to discuss in future classes, they are asked to share them prior to the next class. Students should have a keen interest in learning something new about horses and asking questions. There is no specific experience necessary for students to take this class.

With a lifetime of living with (and loving) horses, this class would have been a dream come true for me as a young person. After spending the past 20+ years breeding, raising and showing horses (English and Western), I am so excited to share what I have learned about horses with students. As a life-long learner and educator/leader, I always look for ways to incorporate effective communication skills, and this talk-show style class combines my areas of interest and expertise.
