Horses
Unit Study
From a stick horse to a rocking horse, we are introduced to horses at an early age, and continue to be mesmerized by them throughout childhood. With thoughts of being cowboys and cowgirls, children play in imaginary haylofts and ride magnificent horses in their minds. This study uses this interest and curiosity to help them learn about history, science, geography and the care and keep of horses.
Since the days of ancient civilizations, horses have been a part of our development as a society. From the early horse-drawn chariots to the swift couriers used to carry battle plans, horses have helped expand civilization. From Egyptian pharaohs to Alexander the Great, from Leonardo da Vinci to Justin Morgan, history is filled with the hoof prints of horses and wonderful tales of adventure and excitement.
When studying horses, we will investigate all kinds of things about horses. We will study the breeds of horses, the anatomy of horses, the history of horses, famous horses in history, and riding horses. What are the “gaits” of horses? How did horses impact American history? The children have so many questions, and it is a thrill to begin the hunt for answers with this study.
With this four-week unit study, your student will learn about horses - the history of horses, science of horses, the various breeds of horses, the basics of caring for a horse, and how horses are used today. Already receiving wonderful reviews, it is putting the excitement back into learning for many families - join the fun!
