Description
An Advanced Exploration of Equine Hindquarter Biomechanics & Function
This advanced professional development course offers an in-depth exploration of the equine hindquarter, focusing on the pelvis, sacroiliac joint, lumbosacral region, and hind limb–hoof integration. Designed for equine practitioners, bodyworkers, and dedicated students of equine health, this course bridges the gap between anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical application.
Filmed inside the University of Calgary Veterinary Medicine Laboratories, this course provides a rare opportunity to connect lecture-based learning with real anatomical visualization. Participants will move through key structures and systems, developing a clearer understanding of how the hindquarter contributes to movement, performance, compensation patterns, and long-term soundness.
Through guided instruction and detailed anatomical reference, this course supports the development of stronger clinical reasoning, sharper observation, and more informed decision-making in practice.
This is not surface-level learning—it is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of how the horse functions from the inside out.
In This Course, You’ll Learn:
✔️ Pelvic anatomy, symmetry, and functional biomechanics
✔️ Sacroiliac joint stability and load transfer
✔️ The role of the lumbosacral region in movement and performance
✔️ Hind limb neuromuscular function and major nerve pathways
✔️ How hoof angles and limb posture influence pelvic mechanics
✔️ Recognizing compensation patterns and dysfunction in the hind end
✔️ Clinical relevance for assessment, performance, and rehabilitation
Course Highlights:
✔️ Filmed within the University of Calgary Vet Med Lab
✔️ Integration of anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical insight
✔️ Focus on real-world application for equine professionals
✔️ Designed to support deeper understanding and long-term outcomes
