To those who were in class on Tuesday, I hope you have fun this week researching your breeds! It's interesting to see what kinds of horses are out there. Having a degree in Intercultural Studies, I also think it's interesting to see what different cultures value in a horse. Some value speed, others value beauty (according to their own standards of beauty - which may be different than ours), some value strength. There are so many cultures in the world that still use horses in a very utilitarian way; others that are more industrialized have the luxury of breeding horses for aesthetics or sport. Either way, the variety in the world is astounding when you start looking at them! Enjoy!
Here are a couple of websites to help with researching your breeds for Friday:
