Really good for homeschool curriculum

my daughter is in high school and knows horses well. We were unsure if this would be over or under her knowledge level but it was simply perfect. She learned so much.

amazing, and I learned a lot of horsemanship in this course

so for most of your courses there are some typos in the quizzes. But other than that this is an amazing institute and thank you for creating these wonderful and challenging courses.

Perfect curriculum

Highly recommend to other parents to consider, our son loved this course

loved it

The best horse learning course ever!

The course of the breeds so far has been amazing, I've learned a ton more as a rider of 5 years. This course reviewed different breeds, their colors, heights, where they descended from and where the horses came from. I enjoyed learning about the mustang in particular (I'm a big Spirit fan) so it was nice to learn more about them!

it was good

i loved the test

very good

nice and easy going for me

The title is appropriate.

The content is very good, but I found many errors in grammar and spelling, which affect understanding. The course needs more precise editing,

Thanks Jeanne, we have updated all of our courses to fix any grammatical issues!

test feedback

I believe, based on the reading material, that an answer to the question that states that Andalusian were used for bullingfighting is incorrect. The material specially states that Lusitanos were used in bullfighting.

Thanks Anna-Marie, we will review and maje adjustments as needed!
