Anatomical Head Model

POSEIDON

Anatomical Horse Head model showing the bones and joints, including the hyoid apparatus and the superficial muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels.

This model is available to purchase.

"Having been privileged to study the structures of the equine head from the inside out and being aware of the delicacy and complexity of the structures, I was keen to produce, not only an object of beauty, but also an accurate anatomical model that could contribute to the awareness of the structures of the head in relation to bridle fit and design, movement and facial expression." says Gillian

Named Poseidon after the ancient Greek God of horses, and fashioned in the style of the head statues of the ancient Greek Gods, this model accurately conveys the beauty, power, anatomical accuracy of the horse's head.

Creating Poseidon

Using a real pony skull Gillian sculpted the soft tissue structures in plasticine before 3D scanning and printing.

This horse head model enables us to see the bony structures as well as the soft tissues, nerves and blood vessels. It is the detail encapsulated in the sculpture which allows us to visualise some of the more nebulous structures of the head.

The hyoid apparatus for example, which gives form to the pharynx, larynx and tongue and from which there are strong links to the rest of the body can be studied in detail; the position of the nerves and emerging teeth can be seen and help and encourage us to treat the head with empathy and respect.
