Anatomy, particularly functional anatomy, is a vital and dynamic
subject, an appreciation of which leads not only to superior
husbandry and welfare, but also to a better understanding of the
anatomical challenges associated with riding, training,
overtraining, injury and rehabilitation. Using Alexa McKenna's
fabulous illustrations, this book shows the correlation of the
skeleton, muscular system and locomotion, providing a clear insight
into the functional and dysfunctional horse. It also addresses the
largely misunderstood concept of 'perfect conformation' and looks
at the effect on function of the rider and tack, using cutting-edge
diagnostic techniques such as thermal imaging and gait analysis.
Again with the emphasis on the visual, readers will be able to
appreciate how muscles function in differing athletic disciplines
by analysing the heat generated in musculoskeletal structures after
exercise. This will also highlight the importance of
post-competition recovery. The book concludes with a range of
useful techniques to improve the function of any horse, including
stretches, taping, wrapping and other proprioceptive techniques to
increase balance, flexibility, awareness and posture.
