Some of you may remember that last year I was lucky enough to be selected as Brand Ambassador for the Horses Inside Out Annual Conference in February 2020 after entering a competition on Facebook. This meant I got to attend the conference and post about it on social media. It was at the conference that I first saw Vibeke Elbrond and heard her talk about the Myofascial Lines in the horse. This concept was all new to me, so to find myself in a lecture with Vibeke, discussing the Myofascial...

Wavendon Grange is Gillian’s own home, as well as home to her horses Freddie, Arty and Blue...

Ever since, as a student in Cirencester when Gillian came across the work of Edweard Muybridge, she was fascinated by his photographic studies of horse movement. A few years later she came across a poster showing his work. That poster is still on her office wall! Edweard, a photographer born in England but who had emigrated to America in 1850, became involved in equine locomotion when Leland Stanford, a horseman and former Governor of California who was interested in horse gait analysis,...

At Horses Inside Out, we are frequently asked which book is best for whom! With Christmas just around the corner and having been asked to produce a guide for the British Horse Society's book week, we thought we would share this guide with you. In it, we have included a summary of each book and what it covers. This is the video we created for the BHS. It explains my journey as an author and gives a good description of each book. To date I have written 9 books and there are more in the...

Ever since I attended the Horses Inside Out Anatomy In Action Conference in January 2020 I have been eagerly awaiting Gillian Higgins’ release of the Anatomy In Action book and online course. So when the book actually arrived on my doorstep and the email in my inbox to say the online course was ready to access, I could barely contain my excitement! The book arrived in sturdy packaging, meaning it was in pristine condition, and I was blown away by the size and weight of the book with it’s...
