Equine Anatomy Exhibition 

AUGUST 2025
Wavendon Grange, Lawn Lane, Old Dalby, Leicestershire, LE14 3LW

Following its success in 2024, we are expanding the Horses Inside Out Equine Anatomy Exhibition which will run for 2 weeks in August 2025. With many new exhibits, explanation panels, and the opportunity to personally discuss with Gillian how understanding anatomy and biomechanics improves posture, performance and can contribute to reducing injury, this is a unique  opportunity not to be missed.

 

The exhibition will showcase equine anatomy and anatomical art as you have never seen it before. You will:

  • Marvel at the intricacy of creation.

  • Learn how understanding the anatomy of the horse can contribute how we ride and care for them.

  • Enjoy informal explanatory ad hoc talks by Gillian throughout the day.

  • Gain a deeper understanding of common problems relating to the back, head carriage, feet, teeth, the sacroiliac area and many more.

  • Enjoy coffee and cake by the pond.

  • Come on your own or with a group from you yard or club. Or, book a personal viewing.

  • Leave with new insight and the ability to visualise structures under your horse's skin and how they function.

  • Appreciate the growth and development of horses from birth to adulthood and see common problems, pathologies and abnormalities that affect modern day horses. 

As a horse lover, student, or equine professional and whether you pop in for a couple of hours or the whole day, you will find this exhibition fascinating and educational.

​

We look forward to welcoming you to Wavendon Grange.
