Free Equine Resource
Hi everyone! Sometimes the easiest way to get the word out about a product or service is to provide one for free. In this way, people are able to get a feel for the product from a particular individual/business and decide if they would be interested in purchasing anything further.
So in light of this, I have another free equine resource on offer to:
- educators
- students (we’re all students when it comes to horses: you can’t stop learning)
- someone who is happy to give me feedback on a free product
If you head along to this activity at TeachersPayTeachers.com and download it, give it a go!
This particular resource focuses on the genetics of colour in horses. There are some simple scenarios using common coat colours of horses, and a little worksheet to be able to determine the likelihood that when two horses are bred, the foal will be bay, or chestnut or another colour. Why not take a look?
While you’re at it, if you love to test yourself on points of the horse and haven’t yet seen this free resource, take a look at this one too!
And if you are an educator with resources that you feel others could benefit from or are interested in making use of already created resources and activities, why not consider signing up to TeachersPayTeachers? It’s free!

Australian Racing Fact Book
Australian Racing has released a fact book for the 2012/2013 racing season. It states on the site:
The Australian Racing Board’s objective in publishing the Fact Book is to draw together under one cover the key results and statistics for the Australian thoroughbred sector for each season
There is a link to the Fact Book on the Australian Racing website linked above, but you can head right to it if you like. If your interest is in the Racing industry, being up to date on racing statistics will be well worth the invested time to read. The file is a pdf so can be read on your computer or iPad or printed off – whatever suits your fancy!

Emergency Evacuation Plan Resource
Here in Australia it’s greatly warming up and the state of New South Wales has been under attack by fires. Fires are one of a few natural disasters that horse owners should be prepared for – are you?
Horse and People created in 2011 a free resource/fact sheet with regards to an Emergency Evacuation Plan. Why not take a look? You can benefit greatly from free resources created by those in the know 🙂

Great Anatomy Educational Resource
A workmate sent this link around for reference for our students and I thought it a great one to share! If you’re interested in the horse’s anatomy, especially with regards to where muscles sit internally, there are great photos on this site with individual muscles identified and named.
If you visit this Horse Dissection site and click on ‘search the database’, you can view in great detail different photos of dissections of varying parts of the horse’s body.
If you’re interested in the skeletal side of things, perhaps an equine clay model would be of interest.
“What a piece of work is a horse! How noble in reasons! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a man! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!” – James Agate
