Equitopia reist nach U.C. Davis, wo Dr. le Jeune eine radiographische Studie durchführt und herausfindet, dass ein aktiver und aufgewölbter Rücken die Zwischenräume zwischen den Wirbeln vergrößert, wodurch das Risiko verringert wird, dass die Wirbel aneinander reiben, im Gegensatz zu einem Pferd, das mit einem Hohlkreuz läuft.

From the Blog!

Join me as I post weekly blogs covering many topics relating to Classical Foundation Training. I have intentionally left out the word "dressage" because many people have a negative association with the prevalent "crank and spank" approach or that it is a sport for only those who are afraid to jump.

Dressage as it is meant to be is an understanding of how to best optimize a horse's movement and ability to carry a rider, surely a benefit for any horse, any discipline. It is also important in maintaining your horse's safety, soundness and sanity.
