In this episode, we dive into the fascinating concept of anticipatory balance—the body’s ability to predict movement before it happens. It’s a skill that both humans and horses rely on constantly, and in Equine-Assisted Services, it becomes a crucial part of safety, function, and performance. We explore how anticipatory balance develops, how it keeps us from getting injured, and what happens when it’s impaired. 

Key Topics Covered

• What is anticipatory balance?
• How humans use anticipatory balance in everyday life and riding
• How equines shift, brace, and stabilize their bodies in anticipation of rider movement, terrain changes, or herd dynamics.
