Our Equine Science students had an opportunity to learn about Indigenous horses, their history, and the significance of cultural horse markings and war paint through a hands-on painting activity.. to make their own war horse!

🎨🐴🎨🐴

They explored the traditions and stories connected to those horses, what each unique marking means, and put their creativity to work bringing their learning to life. This fun activity gave our students a chance to connect history, culture, and art together!

There are still some slots open in our many farm programs where students can experience hands-on learning activities for the school semester just like this one! For more information or to sign up for a slot, click our link in bio➡️ Menu ➡️Educational Programs ➡️ Farm School
