| Cloverbud Curriculum - Eat Like a Horse! | Horses, just like people, need to eat a variety of things to meet their nutritional
requirements. If their diet is out of balance, then problems occur. A horse getting too much feed will become overweight, while one who eats too many treats may end up with colic. A young horse that eats an unbalanced diet may grow slowly or not grow correctly. |

| Cloverbud Curriculum - Knocking Off the Dirt! | Horses, just like people, need to stay clean in order to not only look good but also stay healthy. Grooming not only gets the horse clean; it also relaxes them and allows you to look for injuries, parasites, or skin conditions. |
Feb 4, 2016 | 380-106(4H-564P) | ||
| Cloverbud Curriculum - Do You Have Horse Sense! | Horses do not speak in words, but they still communicate. They use body
language. Understanding horse “language” is important when it comes to safely
handling horses. There are several ways horses position their bodies in order to
talk to each other. |
Feb 3, 2016 | 380-107(4H-560P) | ||
| Cloverbud Curriculum - Horses Wear Clothes, Too! | Just as different people do different jobs, so do different horses perform
different tasks. In order to do their jobs well, they need to have the right tack or equipment. |
Feb 4, 2016 | 380-108(4H-563P) | ||
| Cloverbud Curriculum - Puzzling Horse Parts! | So many activities and interactions with horses require you to know what the
parts of the horse are, where they’re located, and how they function. It’s also
important to use the correct terminology
when speaking with others about horses. For
example, telling the vet that a horse has a
wound on the withers is more specific than just
saying on the back. |
