🐴 We want to dive deep into specific topics of the equine industry to help students learn more about equine care, veterinary care, companionship, and industry standards. There is a heavy focus on the equine veterinary sciences. 🔵 In the United States alone, the horse industry employes 1.74 million people with over 7.25 million horses in the United States. While Texas has the highest horse population, 1.6 million households in the US own horses. Imagine the statistics worldwide! 🎉 This class has been creatively and uniquely put together to stand apart from all other equine classes on Outschool. This ongoing course is designed to teach students about various topics in the equine industry, designed by a teacher who has studied and taught the equine industry at the collegiate level in multiple countries. ❌ This is not a "fluffy" club. ✅ This club is intended for equine enthusiasts who are ready to take their knowledge to the next level. Complex lessons will alternate with easier lessons. Those who own horses will meet and interact with future equine owners. Future horse owners will meet future equine industry workers. Horse lovers will meet future vets. Biology students will dive deeper into choice topics and all students will begin to see the "bigger picture." Facts and figures will be applied. ✨ Examples of interactive portions of class: quizzes, discussions, some printables, trivia, video instruction, Who Am I?, and problem solving. This class is set up to be more of a lecture-type learning model. ✨ Please join our class at any time. Each week is independent from the week prior.

Parental Guidance
⏺ This is a veterinary class and images or videos of blood and organs may exist. We do not share explicitly gory or cruel images or video in this class. We do not show video of surgeries, etc.
⏺ Topics or questions about reproduction may come up. In this case, we discuss male (stallion/gelding/colt) and female (mare/filly) sexes and do not discuss gender in relation to the animal world.
⏺ Any rehabilitation or therapy discussions are in relationship to the horse (ie: a horse sanctuary that doesn't require vet care for the rehabbed to perform). We do not discuss or teach therapies for human mental health, etc., disorders.
⏺ We do not provide medical advice or veterinary advice. For any real questions concerning any real horses, we always tell students to please contact your local, regular or emergency, veterinarian. Teachers are NOT permitted or allowed to give legal veterinary advice.

I am an Animal Scientist. I graduated from NC State in 2010 with a Bachelors Degree in Pre-Vet Animal Science with a minor in Agriculture Business Management. During my time there, I focused on Equine Performance Anatomy and Exercise Physiology with research and practicalities. I concentrated in Nutrition, Emergency Work, Biology, and Physiology. I studied the Equine Industry throughout the US, Europe, and Ireland/Republic and conducted a long-term research equine project. I have been teaching Advanced Anatomy and Physiology of Horses on Outschool since March 2022. I am prepared for this course.Reviews
