Horse Sense: A Hands-On Horse Class
Learn to understand, care for, and connect with horses—no riding required.
Service Description
Spend two hours getting to know horses from the ground up! This hands-on homeschool class is designed for kids who want to understand horses—not just ride them. Students will spend time with the horses while learning how to safely approach, groom, and interact with them. We’ll explore how horses communicate through their ears, eyes, body position, and movement, and learn how to recognize what a horse may be telling us. We’ll also dive into the fascinating world of horses, including: * Horse colors and markings * Breeds and what makes them different * Basic horse anatomy * Grooming and horse care * Horse body language and communication * Safe, respectful ways to interact with horses There is no riding in this class. The focus is on building knowledge, confidence, observation skills, and a better understanding of the horse.
