Now, EquiMed Press is happy to announce that Isothermal Community College has selected their new publication, "Horse Health Matters - The Horse Owners Guide to Equine Healthcareâ as a text book for their Equine Sciences classes offered this fall.
Isothermal Community College, located in Spindale, North Carolina is noted for its outstanding Equine Sciences program which is affiliated with the Polk Center in nearby Columbus, NC, where students have access to outstanding equestrian training facilities, competition venues, a nationally respected equine surgical hospital and some of the best horse farms in the area.
The course provides an overview of the basic information a new worker or horse owner needs to start working with horses. Classes cover the basis of equine behavior, terminology, major equine anatomy, safe horse handling, introduction to equipment, observation of horses for signs of injury and illness, bathing and more. Training combines lectures with hands-on learning in the barn.
In addition to this basic course, Isothermal also offers a more advanced course which covers important horse care skills including: equine behavior, grooming basics, equine anatomy, digestion and feeding guidelines, horse health evaluation, applying bandages, safety, barn management, and much more.
Coming soon: Study guide for "Horse Health Matters"
EquiMed Press is in the process of developing a study guide to accompany âHorse Health Mattersâ for use by schools, colleges, 4H clubs and other equine-related learning programs.
Because Horse Health Matters is interactive with equimed.com and other internet resources with everything from how-to-videos to breeding calculators to chapter quizzes on content of the book, it makes a great learning tool not only for equine science courses, but also for individual horse owners who want to learn as much as possible about horses.
