Equine Anatomy and Biomechanics

This is the fun stuff!! (For Denise anyway…) Understanding more of how horses are put together and how they work helps us understand more of what we are trying to do when we make saddles to work well on horses. There is a separate page of a series of 30 blog posts – all linked together – going over the anatomy, and some biomechanics, of horses that is related to how saddles work on them. And the extra blog posts are on this page. Enjoy!!
