Practical guide for trainers, riders and horse lovers.
The second unique position after Gillian Higgins' book "How Your Horse Moves".
Look at your horse from a completely new perspective, learning about the detailed structure and functioning of the twelve layouts of his body, presented on paintings directly on horse's skin models.
Gillian Higgins using his author's technique of painting on horses shows how individual body systems work together, influencing the performance of the body and reducing the risk of injury.
The manual consists of 12 chapters that successively present the importance and role of individual body systems and their interactions.
This visually attractive original yet transparent guide shows how anatomy affects methods of breeding, use and training horses.
“At last, a book has appeared that explains how the horse works - from the inside - and it is written with a clear language. A mandatory lesson for any engaged rider".
Dr. W.Bechtolsheimer
For fifty million years, evolution has perfectly adapted horses to live in the full danger of ecological niches. Thanks to the heritage of wild ancestors, the modern domestic horse is a strong herd instinct, adapted to the constant intake of plant food. It is characterized by the strength and endurance that allows effective escape from predators. In order to make effective use of the natural attributes of these fascinating animals in sports and recreation, trainers and riders should know in detail their particular biological systems, as well as their interaction and importance for the optimal health condition of horses. Gillian's previous book focused mainly on the construction of the musculoskeletal system. Her latest position not only deepens the subject, but also goes a step further. The author presents twelve layouts in the horse's body and explains the practical implications of their special structure for the use and optimal living conditions of these unusual animals. The unique patterns painted by the author directly on the skin of horse models allow to emphasize the beauty of horses. The combination of aesthetic qualities with reliable biological knowledge makes this book a truly unique reading on the market. This is a natural continuation of Gillian's concept of "knowing a horse from the inside".
