NEW HIPPOLOGY ACADEMY ONLINE SHORT COURSE FOR YOUTH, ADULTS, LEADERS, EXTENSION PERSONNEL
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 14, 2019 – Equine professors working with ExtensionHorses.org are offering a new Hippology Academy, Feb. 11 to March 24, 2019. This short, online, course is designed for youth, adults, leaders, and extension personnel to gain knowledge and practice on horse hippology content.
Content includes practice tests, slides, and digital stations in six areas in addition to twice weekly lectures. Participants will have the option to interact with the equine professors from across the United States during the lectures, if they register for the silver level. The silver level costs $100 per person and provides the opportunity to ask questions, talk to the professor of the week, via asynchronous chat, and includes all materials from the bronze level.
The bronze level includes core features like access to 12 lectures from university professors on anatomy, health, diseases, parasitology, toxic plants, nutrition and more, and costs $50 per person. New lessons will be available starting each Monday for each of the six weeks.
“Youth and leaders are always asking and looking for more ways to get ready for hippology and other contest,” Kathy Anderson, UNL Extension horse specialist, said.
We are super excited to offer this course as it will be jam packed with all kinds of things to help prepare and be competitive plus simply know so much about horses.”
