This seminar will explore the biology of today?s domestic horse by investigating the evolution, behavior, and intelligence of these remarkable animals. We will discuss the origins, expansion, and management of the domestic horse and investigate the many different breeds that have developed over time. The biology of wild horses and other Equus species (zebras and donkeys) will also be examined. Students will have the opportunity to work with horses at the UMass Hadley Farm several times throughout the semester.
