Use this template for printable labels in unmounted lessons that teach an your Red Level students to correctly identify basic parts of a horse’s body.
It can be difficult for students to remember basic equine anatomy unless they do something interactive and hands-on, so we like using these labels to create memorable games.
Each set contains all 42 terms found in the Red Level HorseSense Study Guide and Pony Parts Worksheet.
The template has three pages containing a total four sets of labels. We usually print several sets of all three pages at a time. Two sets of labels can be used in a simple Pony Parts challenge: teams or individual students compete to see who can place the most stickers correctly.
PRO TIP: Use your most patient, bomb-proof horse for this exercise! Warn students about touching sensitive areas of the horse’s body (tell them NOT to put labels directly on the dock, sheath, or udder – labels can be placed nearby instead!) and to remember safety rules (e.g., keep a hand on horse’s body when moving around him).
