Hi All,

Welcome to the first topic for 624EHS - Contemporary Issues in Equine Science.  
This topic is all about rider weight.  Make sure that you look at the launch powerpoint, which has been posted in the Classroom.  All students are required to contribute to this blog in preparation for the seminar in class on the 16th of October 2019. Distance learning students have from now until 2 pm on Wednesday 16th of October 2016 to contribute to this blog, to debate the issues surrounding rider weight.  Ensure you can also evidence your opinions and remember that you are also required to submit a reference list (word document emailed to module leader) by 2 pm on Wednesday 16th of October.  You will be graded on the quality and quantity of both your blog contributions and your reference list.  Remember, the point of this is to debate the issues, so you should be replying to each other's posts.  I will be keeping an eye on the blog, but if you have any issues, you should email me. Please note that this topic 1, will serve as a mock and will not count towards your final coursework 3 mark, however you will receive feedback on this topic on the 23rd of October 2019, to ensure that you are on the right track for future topics. Please remember to register your name with your comments so that I know who has contributed with which comment.
