The horse must be worked correctly, fed a balanced ration, mentally and physically healthy and well looked after. This book examines a further aspect of the horse’s performance: it is designed to help all horse owners and riders to understand how a horse moves and how its anatomy helps, or hinders, the horse’s athletic ability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst, the book uses sequences of photographs and detailed anatomical drawings to show the systems of support and movement at each phase of each of the horse’s gaits. The walk, trot, canter, gallop and jump are all examined, and the effect of the rider on the horse evaluated so that the rider can take appropriate action to avoid hindering the horse. Tips are provided throughout on ways in which the horse’s life can be made easier, such as saddle fitting, warming up and cooling down procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I: Anatomy and conformation\u003cbr\u003e The head and neck\u003cbr\u003e The chest and ribs\u003cbr\u003e The forelimbs\u003cbr\u003e The abdomen\u003cbr\u003e The hind limbs\u003cbr\u003e The back\u003cbr\u003e Part II: Movement\u003cbr\u003e Walk\u003cbr\u003e Trot\u003cbr\u003e Canter\u003cbr\u003e Gallop\u003cbr\u003e Collection\u003cbr\u003e Lateral movements\u003cbr\u003e Rein back\u003cbr\u003e Jumping\u003cbr\u003e Part III: Lameness and injuries\u003cbr\u003e Sites of common lameness\u003cbr\u003e Identification of the lame limb\u003cbr\u003e Common lamenesses\u003cbr\u003e Appendices: The points of the horse\u003cbr\u003e The skeleton\u003cbr\u003e Superficial muscles\u003cbr\u003e Deep muscles\u003cbr\u003e The stay apparatus\u003cbr\u003e The tendons and ligaments\u003cbr\u003e The circulation\u003cbr\u003e The nervous system\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Veterinary medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Veterinary medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Veterinary%20medicine%20%5BMZ%5D%22\"\u003eMZ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52462973616408,"sku":"9780632051373","price":41.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780632051373.jpg?v=1785543934","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-horse-in-motion-the-anatomy-and-physiology-of-equine-locomotion-paperback-softback-9780632051373","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
