We spent a year with this curriculum for my 9 and 7 year olds. The nine year old has loved horses her whole life, and this was her favorite subject! The book list was phenomenal, and the additional history and drawing projects made for a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

This is a SUPERB guide for various ages. My first grader and fifth grader have been working on this together this summer. It has been a great bonding experience and they are learning so much!!

I got this program for my daughter who is a horse fanatic. She loved learning so much about horses. She was so excited to do this study because she could not believe learning about horses actually counted as "school". She still cherishes these books several years later and will not part with them.

This summer for my own enrichment I decided to do "History of the Horse." History of the Horse is authored by home school graduate, Hilary Severson. History of the Horse is based on the teachings of British educator, Charlotte Mason as described in Susan Schaeffer Macaulay's book "For the Children's Sake." The study covers equine history using the texts "The Handbook of Horses" and "Album of Horses." "Living books" such as "Black Beauty, King of the Wind, Misty of Chincoteague and Black Stallion" are the backbone of the curriculum. Notebooking is incorporated into each lesson so at the end of the year your student will have a hand made book of what they have studied. Overall I have been pleased with the scope/sequence of this study. Our family looks forward to continuing our journey through history with Beautiful Feet Books.
