New resources on anatomy

[David Genadek]

For any of you that are interested in learning actual anatomy a few new resources have presented themselves in the marketplace. The first is Horse Confirmation and Biomechanics by Deb Bennett Ph.D. which is available here http://equinestudies...tting_page.html

This DVD has 7 1/2 hours of very clear and concise information on how horses are built and work and should be a part of every saddle makers library.

The second new resource is If Horses Could Speak by Dr. Gerd Heuschman which can be purchased here http://www.equibooks...heuschmann.html This DVD is Dr. Heuschmans biomechanical answer to the practice of Rollkur. In other words the over tensioning of the nuchal portion of the supraspinous ligament. This practice is very common amongst Western riders also. This DVD is filled with some wonderful 3-D animation. Dr. Heuschmanis also presenting a four-hour lecture throughout the United States. I attended his lecture last weekend in Seattle and found it well worth the time and expense.

Lastly here is a link to an interview I did with Rick Lamb on The Horse Show. http://thehorseshow.com/listen.aspx it was the show that aired 8/15 2009 during the interview we discuss the relationship between the lumbar span and the stifle and hock.
