Product Description
This title offers a fascinating 'inside-out' view of how the horse uses its body, that is presented in a graphic, easy-to-follow way to aid you in improving all aspects of riding and training. Discover the true effect of riding and training on each part of the horse by seeing the skeleton and major muscles painted on the outside. It includes practical exercises that demonstrate how to improve movement, build the right muscles and increase suppleness in the horse. It includes step-by-step guidance on the correct way to warm-up your horse and stretching routines to help guard against injury. Unlike other books on biomechanics and anatomy 'How Your Horse Moves' is truly applied.

'How Your Horse Moves' is a wonderful, fascinating book that I bought for my son who is hoping to train as a farrier. We have four horses at home, my life revolves around horses and this book should be on every horse owners/horse lovers book shelf! Christine Cameron-Ramshaw

An excellent resource for novices with enough depth to interest the more experienced rider. Although fairly technical in places the diagrams gives the clarity so often missing in words alone.

What a fascinating book! The author, an anatomist, literally paints the horse's internal structure on its skin, so we can see what it really looks like, and how it actually moves. The accuracy is incredible and although the subject of anatomy is not generally ideal for the squeamish, this is not the case here. I would highly recommend this book for any equine therapy/bodywork student, including vets, saddlers, farriers, and maybe riding school instructors, show judges, eventers, show competitors...OK, everyone with horses!
