We are continually working on creating more online lectures and courses for The Academy and exciting new content is added regularly.
Live Painted Horse Lecture Demonstrations
Ideal for horse owners, riders, coaches, veterinary students, saddlers and farriers. Perfect for novices or advanced groups.
These applied and interactive day or evening demonstrations explain in a clear, entertaining, memorable way how understanding our horses’ make-up allows us to ride, train and manage them efficiently and effectively.
With the internal anatomy painted on the outside, Gillian demonstrates exercises to develop a supple, strong, comfortable horse able to maximise the range of movement and perform at his best.
With a rider in a skeleton bodysuit, it is also possible to see the interaction between horse and rider.
Applied Anatomy and Biomechanics Courses
Led by Gillian, these 2-day Courses are of interest to horse owners, coaches, riders, judges, therapists, instructors, hoof professionals, saddlers, students and horse owners.
Using a mix of video-based theory and practical sessions, Gillian explains the practical application of anatomy and biomechanics to how we ride and care for our horses.
Topics can include joint movement, muscles and myofascial chains, posture, tendon and ligament biomechanics, the mechanics of dressage, polework, jumping, the effect of asymmetry and compensation patterns.
This course can be adapted for specific interested groups. Just get in touch
