Learning equine anatomy should be fun and interactive. It should not entail memorizing; nobody wants to be a walking encyclopedia! When someone asks me about a muscle, I actively visualize building it on the Equiken® model in clay. I think about where and how I felt it on the horse (or located for deeper muscles). Memorize, no, never; it is just not the way my brain works!Experience (build, associate, palpate), store (your brain makes notes) and then the big ticket; recall.
This course is open to everyone, not just Equinology graduates! It is the missing link to your anatomy studies. The class is targeted towards bodyworkers, other equine health professionals, trainers, and owners. You will build the muscles from the inside out and palpate or map what you have built daily on the actual horse.
The NZ course is already full but we have another for South Australia November 13-19, 2023.

“You can look at pictures all day, you can look at photos, but nothing will cement your understanding of origin, insertion, and function like building the muscles on a 3D model. There is something about making them and attaching them to the skeleton that really deepens your grasp of anatomy. Working with the clay is so much fun! It’s like being a kid again, but you get to keep your adult brain and learn something really important. We laughed … a lot. You don’t need to be an artist, or have any sculpting skills. All you need is curiosity and a desire for a fuller understanding of the equine body.” — Tracy Kerby
