Welcome to Episode 27: Three Observations to Develop your Eye for posture in Motion

If you enjoyed this episode we would love for you to share the episode with your friends and would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating so we can continue to impact the world for the horse!!

In this episode, we dive into three quick and effective assessments you can do today to evaluate your horse’s movement and posture. By observing from both behind and in front, you can gather valuable insights to enhance your understanding of biomechanics.

Why It Matters:

  • Easily set up video for long-term records and analysis.
  • Observations help track progress and detect subtle changes.
  • Knowledge is power—understanding movement can prevent future issue
  • Key points: 

    Observation of the following across the gaits

    • Head and neck position and motion
    • Pelvis motion
    • Limb alignment relative to each limb
    • Head and neck position, pelvic motion, and limb alignment are key indicators of balance and posture in motion. Observing consistency across these areas provides insight into movement efficiency and potential issues. The more you observe, the better you become at detecting subtle changes that could impact your horse’s performance and well-being.

      Tune in to learn how to refine your assessment skills and develop a keener eye for movement!
