Equine: Exploring Animal Science Bundle

Build a strong foundation in equine science through hands-on lessons that connect breeds, anatomy, care, and nutrition.

The Equine: Exploring Animal Science Bundle introduces learners ages 9–13 to the world of horses and their important place in agriculture. Designed around the Explore → Apply → Connect framework, this bundle helps kids build understanding step by step—first discovering the history of horses, terminology, facts, and breeds, then their purpose, external anatomy, and nutrition, and finally how they connect to agriculture through care, management, and responsibility.

Through guided lessons, colorful flashcards, and printable activities, learners explore horse breeds, conformation, and diet while developing a deeper appreciation for equine care and ownership. Each activity encourages observation, reasoning, and hands-on discovery—perfect for home learning, 4-H horse projects, or agriculture classrooms.
