Equine Muscles and their Function

As an industry we are obsessed with head and neck position; is it too high, too low, in front or behind the vertical? Often an uneducated eye can be misled by a horse who looks to be working ‘in a frame’ or ‘on the bit’, but the development of your horse’s muscles do not lie.  

No matter how impressive the horse looks when it is working, if its muscles are developing incorrectly it is a sign that something is amiss. 

This is an 8-part series in which UK-based consultant, Eiddwen Skellon details :

The Brachiocephalicus

 The Sternomandibularis

The Hyoid Apparatus

The Nuchal ligament

The Serratus Ventralis muscle

The Splenius muscle

The Rhomboideus (rhomboid) muscle

The Trapezius muscle

Parts 1-4 are available for all CHA members – the remaining lessons are included for free with all Equitopia membership plans.
