Art2Ride video Developing Your Horse’s Back: the Biomechanics of Engagement translated to Deutsch.

Dies ist die Übersetzung von: https://youtu.be/hokqRs9GbrI Übersetzung der Video-Beschreibung: Lerne, wie du den Rücken deines Pferdes durch gymnastizierendes Dehnen richtig aufbaust. www.EquitopiaCenter.com präsentiert Art 2 Ride-Trainer Karen Loshbaugh und die Tierärztinnen Dr. Joanna Robson, Dr. Sarah le Jeune und Dr. Sue Dyson, die zeigen, wie durch die richtige Aktivierung des Rumpgfes schmerzhafte Rückenprobleme wie “Kissing Spines” vermieden werden können. 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.
