Anatomy for Better Riding, Training, and Care
An Equine Anatomy Exhibition
Following the incredible success of our 2024 event, the Horses Inside Out Equine Anatomy Exhibition is back — bigger, better, and more insightful than ever.
Running for two full weeks in August 2025, this unique exhibition offers a fascinating journey beneath the surface of the horse, blending science, art, and practical equestrian knowledge.
Whether you’re a rider, trainer, student, or equine professional, this is your opportunity to:
-
Explore new exhibits and anatomical art like you've never seen before
-
Understand how anatomy and biomechanics impact posture, performance, and injury prevention
-
Join informal talks with Gillian Higgins throughout the day and ask your own questions
-
Discover insights into common issues affecting the back, teeth, sacroiliac area, hooves, and more
-
Visualise the structures beneath your horse's skin to enhance your riding and care
-
Enjoy coffee and cake by the pond in a relaxed and friendly setting
Come on your own, with friends, or book a personal viewing. Whether you stay for an hour or a full day, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the horse and how your knowledge can make a difference.
