History and Development of the Horse

Introduction to Equine Management

Through the study of the evolution of the horse we hope to get a better understanding of how and why horses think and react the way they do. We'll look at how the modern day horse adapted and flourished when other species went extinct.

An exciting introduction to caring for and understanding horses. If you are a first time owner, or a caretaker of 30 horses you have to know the basics of handling, nutrition, first-aid, hoof care, and daily management. This course gives an in-depth overview of all aspects of horse care and equine behavior.
