The Horse in Positive Tension -Stammer
Harnessing Equine Kinetic Energy for Top Performance – An illustrated study of the biomechanics of horse-and-rider movement like no other.
Everything you know about riding and the horse’s movement isn’t what you think it is! Did you know that:
- On a functional level, traditional ways of teaching rider position and horse movement do not actually work with the biomechanical system that is horse and rider?
- Use of the inside rein does not encourage the horse to bend to the inside?
- Training exercises and lessons that claim to be simple cannot be as easily applied as it might seem?
- Hardcover – 192 pages

Horse Movement
Horse Movement $95.00Horse Movement – Structure, Function and Rehabilitation by Gail Williams & Lex Mckenna Hardback
Anatomy is often said to be boring, but nothing could be further from the truth. Anatomy, particularly functional anatomy, is a vital and dynamic subject, an appreciation of which leads not only to superior horse management and welfare, but also to a better understanding of the anatomical challenges associated with riding, training, overtraining, injury, and rehabilitation. Using Alexa McKenna’s fabulous illustrations, this book shows the correlation of the skeleton, muscular system and locomotion, providing a clear insight into the functional and dysfunctional horse.
It addresses the largely misunderstood concept of “perfect conformation” and looks at the effect of the rider and tack on the function of the horse, using cutting-edge diagnostic techniques such as thermal imaging and gait analysis.
