We all want our horses to be able to perform to the best of their
ability and we know that an effective training regime has many
facets. The horse must be worked correctly, fed a balanced ration,
mentally and physically healthy and well looked after. This book
examines a further aspect of the horse's performance: it is
designed to help all horse owners and riders to understand how a
horse moves and how its anatomy helps, or hinders, the horse's
athletic ability.
First, the book uses sequences of photographs and detailed
anatomical drawings to show the systems of support and movement at
each phase of each of the horse's gaits. The walk, trot, canter,
gallop and jump are all examined, and the effect of the rider on
the horse evaluated so that the rider can take appropriate action
to avoid hindering the horse. Tips are provided throughout on ways
in which the horse's life can be made easier, such as saddle
fitting, warming up and cooling down procedures.
