Effective horse trainers strive to improve the performance of their horses while preserving the integrity of the musculoskeletal apparatus. Biomechanics and Physical Training of the Horse supplies an anatomical and functional overview of the topic, enabling trainers to optimize the different exercises their horses undergo during training and competition.

Following a brief description of the biomechanics of the muscles underlying equine movement, the book discusses the muscles of the forelimb, hindlimb, and neck and trunk. These fundamentals have direct bearing on the later chapters, which focus on training and the core exercises for a horse.

This text is illustrated throughout by the author’s top-quality photographs, diagrams, and his own beautiful anatomical drawings. The book is of lasting value to all professionals and well-informed amateurs who work with horses: veterinarians, trainers and riders, researchers, physical therapists, and educators in equine courses.

Product description

Review

"…a herculean effort at illustrating the movement of the horse with photographs and color-accented line drawings of active muscle groups … The artwork, photographs, and color used in the book are brilliant and serve readers and author well."
―Jonathan Hale Foreman, DVM, MS, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine for Doody's Review Service

From the Back Cover

The ideas presented in this book cast new light on the best ways oftraining and exercising the horse in preparation for competition, and to aidrehabilitation following injury, by focusing on biomechanics and preciseanatomical analysis.

Dealing mainly with the movements and exercises most frequently used inequine sports, the book answers the needs of trainers and riders seeking toimprove their horses performance and physical fitness by maximising thepotential of the horses entire musculoskeletal apparatus.

Following a brief description of the biomechanics of the musclesunderlying equine movement in general, chapters discuss in turn themuscles of the forelimb, the hindlimb and the trunk. These fundamentalshave direct bearing on the later chapters: a biomechanical analysis ofspecific exercises designed to optimise the performance of the sport horse.

"Biomechanics and Physical Training of the Horse" is illustrated throughoutby top-quality photographs, diagrams and the authors own beautiful anatomical drawings.

The book will be of lasting value to all professionals dealing with horses: trainers and riders, veterinarians, researchers, physical therapists, educators on equine courses.

    Reviewed in Germany on 27 May 2017

    The author is one of the leading experts in the field and has created a book that should benefit veterinarians, physiotherapists and the like. The content is strictly speaking "only" illustrating horse movements (walking, trotting galloping, all phases of jumping) through very well chosen photographs and showing the full range of possibilities, good or bad. The book is not very practically oriented, as it tells the reader only what happens if the horse moves in such a way, but leaves it up the the reader to come to their own conclusions as to the consequences. The text is rather scarce and the reader is meant to look and learn for themselves. This should be possible after seeing the great pictures in the book, but a lot of background information is needed in order to be able to do just that. The author is hence not strictly addressing the layperson, but the book may benefit the rider and sport horse breeder as well. I can recommend it, since I have found it extremely helpfull in order to understand which muscles are at work at what phase of horse movement.

    Awesome book for a rider or trainer. Understanding the biomechanics can help you choose appropriate exercises and rehab to help your horse last a long time. Love the amount of color photos and diagrams to help the visual learner.
