Advanced Equine Biomechanics for Equine Professionals: Understanding Movement and Performance
Unlock the secrets of equine movement and performance with this advanced biomechanics course, tailored for professionals dedicated to optimizing horse health and efficiency.
This course introduces key concepts in Biomechanical Science, equine balance, motion, and the rider’s influence on movement. Learn how to assess the biomechanics of a horse with and without a rider and explore how riding principles affect the horse’s movement across different disciplines.
Delve into the anatomy of equine motion, understand how conformation, muscling, and joint function impact performance, and learn how to recognize biomechanical imbalances that may lead to injury or inefficiency. You will also gain insight into gait analysis, evaluating natural gaits, and how external factors such as shoeing and riding techniques influence equine biomechanics.
