Understanding Horses: Plan Your Own Stable (8-11 Year Olds)
What do horses need to be healthy and happy? We will explore their biological, social, and cognitive needs as well as primary concerns for their welfare and the meaning of "species appropriate conditions" as we design maps of our dream-farms.

Learn all about how to care for horses through designing a map of your dream stable and farm! We will explore questions like: - what do horses need to eat? - what kind of environments can cause them stress and what kinds keep them calm? - what kinds of spaces do we need to work with them in different ways (riding, ground work, nature-time)? - do they like to live alone or near other horses? As we go, we will add various important elements to our farm/stable design, and make decisions about how to set things up to keep our horses healthy and happy!
