Johanna Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 THis class that i am creating is basically.... a class for 3rd-6th graders that would focus on engaging activities that cover the anatomy of a horse, the different horse breeds, gaits, facial markings, senses, history, care and much more. I envision a cross-curricula "Thematic unit-type"class incorporating writing, science, games, and hands-on activities for learning WHat do you think?? I need ideas!!!

TwinMominTX Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 These might be lame, but... Homeschool Horsemanship Horsing around for homeschoolers What curriculum are you using? I use the Junior Master Horsemanship handbook for a small little group I put together in my area. We've only done a few chapters, but we've had fun. Most of the kids that participate aren't writers (think 6 year olds), but I love some of the writing ideas for the older kids. You guys should have fun.

Soph the vet Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Let's see, when I took a course like that in undergrad it was called "Equine Husbandry" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ooooh, 4-H has out a new book that covers all this for horse clubs. I think it's put out by the American Quarter Horse Association and called Junior Master Horsemen. It's like the Junior Master Gardener program and has online links for activities, as well. How about Trail Blazers? Hocks and Withers? Horsing Around? Regena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
