Biomechanics and Physical Training of the Horse (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Effective horse trainers strive to improve the performance of their horses while preserving the integrity of the musculoskeletal apparatus. This volume enables trainers to optimize the different exercises their horses undergo during training and competition. Following a description of the biomechanics of the muscles underlying equine movement, the book discusses the muscles of the forelimb, hindlimb, and neck and trunk. These fundamentals have direct bearing on the later chapters, which focus on training and the core exercises for a horse. This text is illustrated throughout by the author's top-quality photographs, diagrams, and his own beautiful anatomical drawings.
