This summer six Sustainable Agriculture students are completing their work-based learning requirement. Students work at the farm or agricultural business of their choice in order to learn new skills and complete specific learning objectives.
Anthony is working on helping this colt learn to be comfortable with human interaction and lead rope training; the opportunity to spend more time one on one with the horses at the farm (they also raise cattle and hay) is part of Anthony’s learning objectives for the summer. WBL students work under the supervision of someone more experienced at the skills they want to gain; in this case Anthony has also learned proper vaccination technique and handling of a mature horse.
