Introduction to Equine Biomechanics
The understanding of the biomechanics of our horses is essential to developing their bodies and minds in a correct and beneficial way. In order to have a well balanced horse, we as owners, riders, and horsemen must look internally at how our horses function and move; we need to have the ability to differentiate beneficial from detrimental.
This clinic is designed to introduce equine biomechanics concepts and anatomy in a comprehensive way, learning both on the ground and in the saddle.
Handouts will be provided for the lecture portion of this clinic.
