Horse Curriculum
Hi mamas,
We are beyond excited to roll out this new Horse curriculum for all of our Horse enthusiasts! ❤️🐴📚
We’ve been hard at work creating these lessons in Horsemanship!
Everything you and your students could ever want to know about horses & horsemanship! ❤️🐴📚
There will be a new video & lesson each week! Join us here in our backyard barn, where we bring lessons to life! ❤️🐴📚

Chapter 1 Horse Curriculum Student Interviews
Hi mamas,
Listen in to hear our excited Pre-K friends learn all about horses in Chapter 1 of our Horse Curriculum. ✏️📚🐴
In this Chapter Pre-K friends learn about these amazing precocial herd animals, as well as how much water and food they consume each day! ❤️🐴📚✏️
Chapter 2 Horse Curriculum Introduction
Hi mamas,
Join us for Chapter 2-The Horses Five Senses❤️🐴📚📝
In this chapter students will be learning how the horses use their heightened five senses to stay alive in the wild, with independent ears that are able to rotate 180° to hear sounds from over 2.5 miles away. Horses are able to protect themselves from perceived danger!
We will also learn about how they use special chemicals called pheromones to send signals to each other through the Flehmen’s response and the Jacobson organ!
Horses are fascinating! ❤️🐴
Chapter 2 Horse Curriculum Student Interviews
Hi mamas,
Listen in to hear our 2nd-3rd grade students share some of their learning from our brand new Horse Curriculum Ch.2 🐴📝📚
From learning all about their heightened five senses, to how horses use their “stay apparatus”- specialized tendons, ligaments, and muscles to lock their leg joints in place so that they can sleep standing up.
This enables a quick escape from predators out in the wild! ❤️🐴📝📚
Chapter 3 Horse Curriculum Introduction
Hi mamas,
Join us for Chapter 3 – The Physical Horse ❤️🐴📚
In this chapter, students will learn how a horse’s body is designed for strength, balance, and survival. We’ll explore how horses grow different coats with the seasons, why foals are often born in spring, and how their powerful yet sensitive bodies help them thrive.
Students will discover how horses eat as grazers, why their teeth keep growing, and what colic is. We’ll also learn that horses have about 205 bones, how much weight they can safely carry, and how they sleep standing up using something called the stay apparatus.
From hooves that grow like fingernails to understanding normal horse heart rates, this chapter helps students see how to keep horses healthy and happy. 🐴❤️
Chapter 3 Horse Curriculum Student Interviews
Hi mamas,
Chapter 3 – The Physical Horse has been such a fun one!
In this lesson, we learned about how horses can carry about one-fifth of their body weight, have 205 bones, and that their hooves grow just like our fingernails (and need regular trimming!). 🐴📝📚
I love hearing the girls share their favorite takeaways and fun facts from the lesson — it’s always so special to see what stands out to them. ❤️ 🐴📝📚
