I have been around horses for years but I still learned lots of new stuff with this course. The only negative point would be that, sometimes, the lectures lack of explanations. It is the case for week 5 when talking about deworming. I could have done with a few more details about the types of dewormers and how often I should administrate them. Apart from that, the course is great and very interesting.

Excellent general information. I would have been interested in more detailed genetics and generalized health problems. I enjoyed the professor's excitement about foals and reproduction, and he did an excellent job running the lectures.

Overview was interesting and course is set up clearly. Would've liked less technical info (cloning, breeding, etc) and more basic care info (stall maintenance, necessary equipment and basic handling.)

I enjoyed the course and I submitted all of the quizzes. However I was unable to submit any of the assignments and could do none of the peer reviews.

Coursera needs to fix their text assignment boxes.

As important as the assignments were, for those of us not purchasing the course they take a lot of time and therefore I'm sure I'm not the only one to opt not to do any of them

It's an excellent basic course for anyone keen on equines. The best thing about it was interaction in assignments and peer marking.

please try and make easier but not too easy to pass. meaning less assignments and more quizzes, which i find fun to do.

It has helped me understand a lot more about equine care, and has really filled up my kit to become a good owner.

Fantastic up to date information course. I think there should be a free certificate though.

As a new member, I found the information valuable and could aply it immediatly.

one thing is that people eat horses today in iceland too but super helpfull

wonderful course really helpful and well organized

Strong, fluid, insightfull and passionate course!

attentive and informative

Horses & equines are talked about less as sentient beings and creatures with the potential to be friends and family members than as animals who are clearly seen as "less than", regardless of whether they are seen to be impressive or not. Some information is clearly not in a horse's best interest (really, a horse is ok getting ONE hour of turnout?) and no quality information is given, which is most important, about the proper way a horse moves, soreness, etc. Body scale information is super black and white and it was evident with the peer review that students still did not know what they were talking about unless they were already horse people.

Too many topics. Didn’t allow enough time to immerse myself in any one area. Consider having longer lectures or more depth on topics, making those options. For example, I am very interested in reading and understanding horse emotions and I would have liked to go deeper into that. The reproduction lectures are an example of something I could just breeze over. But I do realize some may want to learn more about that topic.

All in all I can’t complain because it was free.

informative but somewhat redundant. You can learn this stuff just fine at a stable. Tedious course.

Good basic information overview. Helpful instructor.

Where are the credits of the course?
