The Great Horse Adventure!
Process
1) The first thing we need to find out is what breed of horse would be
good for this job? Not all horses can do the same things. You wouldn't use a Clydesdale to go barrel racing,
but he sure would be great at pulling a big fancy carriage. Explore the links
below and discover all the breeds of horse that can be used for your type of
work. Make a column on a sheet of paper and label it "breed" then
list all the breeds you find.

2) Now that
we know what breeds we are looking for, pick two off of your list that you
think you would like to learn more about. Let's look up pictures to see what
they look like and find out other information about them. Can you tell me how
big they get? What color is their hair, is it long or short? In these links you
will see that horses can come in many different sizes and colors! After
researching the two breeds, circle the one on your list that you liked best and
make a new column on your paper for "features" and list all the things
you found out about what your horse looks like.

3) Great work so
far!! We are learning so many interesting facts about horses! Okay, so we know
what breed of horse we need and we know what they look and act like. Let's find
out if they have a special diet or if some of the breeds eat similar foods.
Other questions we can answer are how much do we need to feed them and how many
times a day they should they be fed to stay healthy and fit. Your next column
should read "Diet" and write what types of food and how much food
your horse needs every day.
