This course is an intermediate level, intense equine science course. Students are expected to have prior general knowledge of horses and a basic understanding of how horses move, know and be able to identify body parts and general health. This course will be a good option for youth involved in 4H or FFA and participate on horse judging teams, as we will be working on reasons and practicing them in class. There will be many opportunities for youth to judge multiple classes of horses and discussing the importance of working with sound horses and understanding correct dispositions. Even if youth are not on horse judging teams but have a sincere interest in advancing their equine knowledge, this course is an excellent option. week 1 - 1.1 history, domestication and mankind involvement of the horse, 1.2 Scientific Classification of horses, breeds week 2 - 2.1 color patterns, science behind the color of horses 2.2 hair lab - understanding why some hair is thicker than others week 3 - 3.1 biology of the horse - body systems 3.2 biology of the horse - body systems continued week 4 - 4.1 - continuation of body systems 4.2 continuation of body systems week 5 - 5.1 quiz 5.2 test week 6 - 6.1 - selection - breed comparison 6.2 basic conformation week 7- 7.1 blemishes and unsoundness 7.2 blemishes and unsoundness continued week 8 - 8.1 Horse in motion - natural gaits 8.2 - horse in motion - defects and vices week 9 - 9.1 understanding digestability 9.2 - factors that affect digestion week 10 - 10.1 nutritional requirements 10.2 nutritional deficiencies and signs week 11 - 11.1 quiz 11.2 test week 12 - 12.1 problems associated with feeding 12.2 poisonous plant ID and effects on horses week 13 - 13.1 horse health records 13.2 identification of disease in horses week 14 - 14.1 parasites in horses 14.2 management of parasites and prevention week 15 - 15.1 behavioral principles part 1 15.2 - behavioral principles part 2 week 16 - 16.1 quiz 16.2 test week 17 - 17.1 horse judging introduction 17.2 horse judging, placing and reasons week 18 - 18.1 horse judging, placing and reasons 18.2 horse judging competition - Final - utilizing all knowledge learned this semester - written test included.

I am a former middle school - high school agricultural education teacher where I taught specialty classes including introduction to agriculture, veterinary science, introduction to animal science, plant science, greenhouse, agriscience 1 and agriscience 2 as well as welding fabrication, various welding classes, career technical education, physical education and earth science for 6 years.
I have competed in horse judging on both the high school and collegiate levels, as well as served as a coach for an FFA horse judging team. As an agricultural education teacher, I hosted many horse judging competitions and am a life long horsewoman, having ridden horses since I was a child and trained them during high school and college. I currently live and work on a ranch where we raise and train our own horses, as well as manage 100% of their care. I also served as an adjunct professor to our local junior college as a welding professor. I am a life long agriculturalist, having been involved in the cattle and horse industry for my entire life, and serving multiple roles in the industry from National Ambassador to Producer - my current role, I have assisted in veterinary care for multiple vets, helping with surgeries, ultrasounds of both horses and cattle, various forms of testing for pathogens, and more . I live and work on a working cattle ranch with my family, where I homeschool my four children who range in ages from 6-13.
