Training horses with a deep understanding of their anatomy isn’t just for veterinarians or elite professionals -

it’s a cornerstone of responsible, effective horsemanship.

Whether you ride for pleasure or competition, learning to train from an anatomical and biomechanical perspective can dramatically improve your horse’s well-being, performance, and longevity.

This online course is designed to teach you how your horse’s musculoskeletal structure influences movement, balance, and strength. You'll explore how to build core stability, encourage proper alignment, and support flexibility—all essential components of a sound and sustainable training program.

By understanding biomechanics, you’ll be better equipped to recognize early signs of discomfort, tailor exercises to suit your horse’s individual needs, and make informed decisions that reduce the risk of injury. Ultimately, this knowledge empowers you to create a training approach that’s not only effective but also compassionate—one that honors your horse’s body and builds a partnership based on trust.

Join us and gain the tools to train smarter, with your horse’s anatomy in mind. Enroll now and start building a foundation of soundness, strength, and connection.

Josh Spencer Elliot

Attending this course has been an eye-opening for me as an equestrian trainer. The in-depth knowledge I gained about equine anatomy and biomechanics has changed the way I approach horse training. I can now design more targeted and effective training programmes that consider the individual horse's physical capabilities and limitations. I can't thank the instructor enough for imparting this invaluable knowledge
