ABOUT THE ACADEMY

FILETR BY

COLLECTIONS

Each of the series of images in this book is accompanied by a short biomechanical explanation of the movement together with a key observation which can also be applied to other movements throughout the book.
To enhance your experience, hone your skills of observation and enable you to enjoy the images, there are corresponding videos of multiple horses taken from a variety of vantage points. These are accompanied by voice over explanations and can be accessed via the link or QR codes located on each page.
The corresponding videos enables the reader to consider the anatomical and biomechanical implications of the horses’ progression towards accuracy, rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and finally collection.
This book will take time for you to study and absorb the detail and implications of all that can be seen in its pages.

This final demonstration is of interest to anyone wishing to truly understand the biomechanics of the horse. Includes: how the horse jumps, comparing jump styles, gymnastic jumping exercises, and how different distances and jump configurations affects shape, technique and performance.

4: Jumping from the Anatomical Approach

In this demonstration, we look at the biomechanics of flatwork, study dressage movements from the anatomical perspective, the importance of the forelimb and abductor muscle chains and the biomechanical principles of outline, collection, expression, bending and lateral work all connected to the training scales.

In this demonstration consider changes that occur within the horse’s body, posture and movement when we add the weight of the rider, riding in harmony, rider position and balance, the timing of the aids and ridden exercises to improve equine posture.

2: Riding from the Anatomical Perspective

In this unridden demonstration, we look at how the skeleton and the spinal muscle chains contribute to movement, examine the principles of good posture, the benefits of polework and how the horse creates walk, trot, canter and the jump.
