Equine Learning Online Resources
Notable: Equine business online short courses offered to equine professionals by land grant universities - sure wish this was available when we got into horses - five free courses will be offered with a focus on contract/employee labor law, liability issues, working with youth and volunteers, immigration documentation, and farm safety practices.
Each course will consist of a webinar, interactive quiz, a decision tool, and online resources. Live webinars will be held on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. (EST) to coincide with the launch of each short course.
A recently published analysis of nearly 20 years of research on cribbing will provide horse owners with valuable information about the behavior and ideas for management practices that could reduce the frequency of this undesirable equine habit.
