I have done a equine anatomy and physiology course through Toces in England, and have found when comparing this short online course very insightfull. I would love to do more of these
由 DK 提供Mar 11, 2020
I enjoyed this course. I just could not walk away from my computer. The instructor was very clear on all the information he was passing on to us. He explained everything so clearly.
由 AK 提供Jun 24, 2017
Such a good informative course about Equids. I look at them in a completely different way now, than how I used to see them earlier. All credits to the course and the Professor.
由 VC 提供Jul 26, 2017
As important as the assignments were, for those of us not purchasing the course they take a lot of time and therefore I'm sure I'm not the only one to opt not to do any of them
由 AL 提供Jun 3, 2016
Excellent course! The course content was informative and the instructor kept the flow going at a nice pace and was interesting to listen to. I highly recommend this course!
由 SB 提供Mar 7, 2016
I've owned and ridden horses for 20+ years and found plenty of content in this course of value. I definitely recommend it for the horse obsessed and inquisitive folks!
由 LK 提供Mar 11, 2016
Terrific course for the beginner owner and for those already with horses. There is so much to learn all around and the community discussions were so great! Thank you!
由 NC 提供May 6, 2019
Very informative and enjoyable. Suitable to anyone wishing to expand their equine knowledge and potentially continue their education and career in the equine world.
由 KC 提供Nov 19, 2016
An excellent course providing a broad range of information. I highly recommend it, and hope that Coursera expands their range of Horse (and other animal) courses.
由 CT 提供Apr 26, 2019
Very useful beginner course. If you can add a lecture about skeletal anatomy of equine and talk about the function of each major bone, that will be even better.
由 SB 提供Feb 4, 2016
This was a great course as an introductory course. For me it worked as a great refresher course and supported my management process I currently have in place.
由 TT 提供Mar 16, 2018
