A great introductory course not only for those new to equids but also as a refresher for those with equine knowledge wanting to get back into developing good study habits.
von SB7. März 2016
I've owned and ridden horses for 20+ years and found plenty of content in this course of value. I definitely recommend it for the horse obsessed and inquisitive folks!
von JK7. Feb. 2017
I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot about maintaining horses. I would love to see more horse (nutrition and ethology for example) courses offered by the University of Florida!
von AK24. Juni 2017
Such a good informative course about Equids. I look at them in a completely different way now, than how I used to see them earlier. All credits to the course and the Professor.
