What's Included
Lifetime on-demand access to all videos
Part 1 - Anatomical Connections and Getting the Basics Right
(1hr 16 minutes)
Gain a valuable insight into the principles of anatomy and biomechanics related to improving the horse's posture, movement and performance.
With the help of her anatomical paintings on horses, Gillian explains the role of the skeleton and muscles and using a variety of in-hand movements and pilates-type exercises Gillian demonstrates range of movement and the impact of restrictions.
It's jam-packed full of practical exercises, techniques and top tips that you can do with your own horse to improve his musculoskeletal health and performance.
With Eric on the lunge we assess and compare the 3 basic gaits and study the effects walk, trot and canter poles on the biomechanics of the horse.
This event is accredited by the BHS and is recognised by other organisations for CPD points. 3 CPD points with the BHS.
Part 2 - Jumping from the Anatomical Approach
(32 minutes)
With Simon Grieve riding his 3* event horse Autograf, gain the opportunity to study the effect of polework.
Observe the change in biomechanics and jump shape with different gymnastic jumping exercises and appreciate the importance of rider balance and position with Simon in a skeleton Bodysuit
Part 3 - Dressage Dissected and Dressage to Music Finale
(33 minutes)
Building on the previous session in this part of the lecture demonstration we will focus on assessing and improving movement with exercises and a good warm up, the biomechanics of bending, collection and lateral work.
With Laura riding in a skeleton body suit we will study horse and rider harmony, interaction and the importance of timing and balance.
I am excited to be riding at the Horses Inside Out lecture demonstration at Hartpury in May. As riders and trainers, it’s so important that we learn as much as we can about the anatomy and biomechanics of the horse. With this knowledge we can improve the way we train and care for our horses and ensure that they are as happy and comfortable as possible.”
