I absolutely loved the Introductory Horse Management online course! The five 2-hour webinars were packed with valuable insights and easy-to-follow content. As someone new to horse care, the clear and detailed explanations helped me understand everything from daily management to nutrition. The printable shownotes are incredibly helpful for reference and can be kept for future use. Plus, the 15-question quiz at the end is a great way to test your knowledge and reinforce what you’ve learned. Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get started in horse management.

I found the Introductory Horse Management course to be a fantastic introduction to the world of horse care. The webinars were informative, although I wish there were more practical examples of horse handling in different environments. Still, the course material was thorough, and the shownotes are a great bonus. The 15-question quiz at the end helped me confirm my understanding and feel more confident in my knowledge. Overall, it's a well-structured course that covers the essentials and is a great starting point for anyone new to horse management!
