Examine the anatomy of a horse from an entirely different perspective.
This intriguing and original explanation of the 11 internal body systems
of horses shows them painted on the outside to describe everything on
the inside. The horse is a highly sophisticated living organism so to
enable him to reach his full athletic performance and give him a happy,
healthy quality of life it is vital to understand both his capabilities
and limitations within the context of his structure and function.
Gillian Higgins turns her trademark technique of painting internal
diagrams directly onto live horses to show how all the systems work, and
work together, to influence performance and reduce the risk of injury.
Divided into 12 chapters, Horse Anatomy for Performance combines high
quality photographs and intricate paintings with top tips and
fascinating facts to provide a practical and useful guide to horse
anatomy. Visually appealing, original and easily understandable, the
book explains how anatomy influences the way we manage, ride and train
our horses. This book is a sequel to How Your Horse Moves by Gillian
Higgins; together the books provide a comprehensive guide to horse
anatomy in action. 'Finally a book where you can learn how your horse
ticks - inside out - and it is easy to understand and fun to read. A
must for every serious equestrian.' Dr W. Bechtolsheimer
