Horses & Homeschoolers of Brunswick County, NC

Have you ever wondered why many horses are resistant to having the front of their faces petted? Or why they spook at objects that have been there but they act like they didn't see them? It is because of the unique field of vision equines possess.

Try this science experiment. Hold one finger up with your arm extended in front of you. Stare at it. Now shut one eye then open it and quickly shut the other eye.

Did the finger appear to move over an inch or 2?

This is what happens when a horse makes a bit of a turn and an object switches from one eye's vision to the other. It is why the blue garbage can at the edge of the arena you were passing with your horse just fine, suddenly becomes scary when clearly the horse has already seen it.

Good Afternoon! With our Fall Festival this weekend, we have so much to do to prepare. It is a bit overwhelming for us so we are going to have to cancel class for tomorrow so that we can prepare for this weekend’s festivities! We will add a week to the end of the semester to make up for tomorrow’s class. Sorry for any inconveniences.

If you are still wanting to come out tomorrow, we could use some good volunteers to help get the farm ready!

We hope to see everyone at the Fall Festival this weekend!!

Thanks Miss Jodi & Miss Allison
