This course is designed as a resource for educators who are unexpectedly having to teach to remote learners during the COVID-19 outbreak. The design is a variety of individual lessons, covering a variety of topics related to horse care and management. It is designed more as a 'buffet' of choices than a course designed around a specific aspect of horse care and management. If you have any questions regarding the course, please contact Dr. Colleen Brady, bradyc@purdue.edu. For more free educational material, check out our YouTube channel.
