Pain Related Poor Performance

Pain Related Poor Performance

An interview with Dr Sue Dyson. Horses that aren’t quite performing as they should be is a common issue and can leave you questioning your training and general management to find the answers. One fundamental skill we should all have is the ability to recognise when these issues are pain related. It’s easy to overlook mild, multi-limb lameness and mild pain-related issues but it’s essential for the welfare of the horse to be able to identify when this is the problem. ​ Dr Sue Dyson has developed a straightforward system for assessing horse movement and comfort. In this online seminar, she will explain how to use this system, sharing tips, techniques and giving you the confidence to recognise pain related poor performance. For the good of the horse this online seminar is something all coaches, therapists and professionals within the equine industry need to see. ​ This seminar is perfect for coaches, instructors, therapists, other veterinary para-professionals, professional riders and students.

https://www.horsesinsideout.com/headbook This multimedia book investigates and explains the anatomical structures of the head. It studies how these structures influence and are influenced by, movement, biomechanics, the muscular and skeletal health and performance of the entire horse. Understanding more about the anatomy of the head enables us to design and fit headcollars and bridles more sensitively, handle the head more thoughtfully and manage the horse more considerately. The book helps us to understand the importance and function of the tempromandibular joint, the hyoid apparatus, the significance and position of the nerves, the sinus cavities and how to look after the teeth effectively. With a forward by the well respected vet and equine dentist, Dr Chris Pearce, packed full of interesting facts and beautifully illustrated with a mix of anatomical models, real bones, dissection specimens and photographs, this book is of interest to, and perfect for, bridle and bit fitters, saddlers, vets, therapists, students, trainers and anyone interested in the anatomy, comfort and wellbeing of the horse.
