Video Lessons for Every Workshop

In every workshop, students will enjoy a video lesson that takes them behind the scenes.
They’ll learn from experts, practitioners and hobbyists.

For example, in the video below, students learn from large animal veterinarian, Dr. Amy Fousek as she examines a horse with a sore hoof.

M5 Ranch School is the creation of entrepreneur and rancher, Mary Heffernan of
Five Marys Ranch.

Lessons range in topics and can be adjusted to fit the age and ability levels of students between pre-school and junior high.
