Abstract Details
'Horses, History & Hoofbeats' |
|
---|---|
Horses have been making strides throughout history. Explore the origins of breeds around the world. Learn how horses have been used and have had a "hand" in making history. Use basic math techniques to discover how a horse "races" it's way into history from start to finish and how to measure horse height and stride length. Learn how humans make horses work for them in Careers with Equines. Horses have been galloping their way through our hearts for centuries and will continue to do so as long as our world relies on "horsepower". Workshop Session (all workshops will be one hour) | |
