2.1.1 The Skeleton. Applied Kinetic Anatomy, Biomechancs, Evaluation, Horse Saddle Rider Course

The first in a series of presentations by UK based Veterinary Physiotherapist, graduate Sports Therapist and MSFC saddle fitter, Caroline Lindsay, on the equine vocational topic of 'Evaluating the Horse Saddle Rider Combination for equine paraprofessionals and competition riders. This short video introduces Kinetic Anatomy with a comparison between the human and equine skeletons as the topic of evaluating and resolving asymmetry of the horse, saddle and rider combination develops. The course will launch at the end of the year and will cover the issues encountered by the equine paraprofessional in the horse, saddle and rider as a combination so that they may optimise their professional input. Saddle fit checking, compensatory gait and rider stability will be at the centre of this course as it builds towards an 'in person' accredited qualification. Separate modules may be taken to extend the interests of various equine paraprofessionals and to ultimately get the horse all the professional attention it needs to overcome saddle and rider issues. A textbook is being prepared to accompany this course.
