Students in unmounted lessons use the Horse for Sale Cards and worksheets to learn how horses’ physical characteristics are accurately described, and to evaluate the information found in typical horse advertisements.
We’ve used these cards for a variety of activities in unmounted lessons and horse camps. They help Yellow Level students learn terminology for horse ID, breeds, colors and markings as they identify different horses.
Students in Green Level and up are ready to start practing some critical thinking about suitable horses. We use the horse ads to generate discussions of breed types and riding disciplines, and to emphasize the importance of gathering required information and consulting an instructor BEFORE leasing or buying a horse!
We’ve included a set of worksheets that can be used for both Yellow and Green Levels, and added a page of blank cards to the horse ads set that you can print to create custom horse ads.
Printable PDF file contains 10 pages with 4 cards per page, for a total of 40 cards; one page with 4 blank cards; worksheets and instructions.
