Learning About Horses is a way to express our love for them. Our horses teach us something each time we’re with them; sometimes we understand the lesson and sometimes we don’t even recognize the message. But the opportunity to learn is always there if we’ll just take advantage of it. At the same time we are learning, we are teaching. Everything we do with a horse is a training session …so, it’s a good idea to know what is right and what is not so right. Eleanor Richards, author, lifelong horsewoman and equine nutrition specialist, and Cathy Hanson, author, breed activist and trainer of world champion horses and riders, have teamed up to create this fun, fast, exciting way to learn about horses. The games, articles, care and training tips and quick answers to hard questions are some of the fun and challenging ways you’ll learn about horses. Another way is to participate in “online horse courses” designed to help you gain practical, use-it-now insight and understanding.
