US Grade 3 - 6
🐴 Learn all about how to care for horses through designing a map of your dream stable and farm! This class is centered on the idea of species appropriate living conditions: understanding how horses live in nature, to ensure we're creating environments that offer the kinds of choices they would make for themselves. 🕰️ The course should take a total of 60-90 minutes to work through, between reviewing the material and the time spent illustrating the farm. Learners can repeat the class material...

I have a BA in Critical Social Psychology with a thesis project that focused on environmental welfare for equines in therapy programs through ecopsychology, presented: - As a poster presentation "Ecologically Informed Equine Assisted Therapy" at the Association for Women in Psychology National Conference in 2014 (Columbus, Ohio). - As a paper presentation: "Intertwined Wellness: An Ethic of Equine Assisted Therapies Through Ecopsychology" at the International Symposium for Equine Welfare in Equine Assisted Activities in 2019 (Scranton, Pennsylvania) and published under the same name in the compendium. I also drew maps for many'a dreamed-of horse farms as a kid. :)

This class is a project-based overview of horse's basic needs through designing a map, it is not a "how to" class on how to care for, feed, or assess the health of horses. For example, we will talk about horse's need to forage on food and why, but we will not go into the various factors involved in determining if a given plot of land and its plants are suitable for a given domestic horse's foraging needs.
