We are very familiar with horses and often see them on television shows, but have you heard about mules? Mules are kind, steady, and careful animals. Because of this, they are often the animal of choice when visitors ride into the Grand Canyon National Park! Before we head to the corral and meet the animals, we will discuss some interesting facts about horses and mules! At the corral, my horse Little Red and my mule Ruthie will join us and help us spot some of the differences between horses and mules. We will even get to feed Little Red and Ruthie a treat! ***Please note that during the portion of the class where we interact with the horses and mules, we will be outside in the corral. Since the corral is not a covered or enclosed area there are a few things to note about this portion of the class: - There could potentially be some wind noise. - If it is raining during the class meeting, I can't bring my technology outside so I will need to use prerecorded footage of my horses and mules.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the differences between horses and mules. We will discuss some of the common traits for each animal and how each animal was historically utilized on a farm. As we meet Little Red and Ruthie, I will discuss with the students about how to safely interact with horses and mules and how to interpret their body language.Other Details
Supply List

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been riding and caring for horses and mules for the past 16 years. One of my favorite activities is to saddle up my horse or mule and explore nature through trail riding. I look forward to sharing the interesting world of horses and mules with your learner! Reviews
