ATLAS – Anatomy of the Horse

The ABC of the Horse – Atlas covers four topics: equine skeletal structure, ligaments, tendons, and musculature. Two comprehensive (English – Latin, Latin – English) glossaries are included.​

The equine skeletal structure has been broken down into its constituent parts: the bones of the head, neck, thorax, lumbar and caudal region, and fore- and hindlimb are described in detail. The vertebrae and joints have been opened up in order to give a clear understanding of their structure.

The illustrations show each muscle individually in its proper position in the skeleton. The origin, insertion, and action of each muscle are described as well.

This information is of the utmost importance for the physiotherapist and masseur, whose goal it is to ensure optimal elasticity and flexibility of each muscle by means of manipulation, releasing of facet locks, massage, and stretching.

“Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of the Biomechanics ABC of the Horse book! I’ve got the anatomy book and I can’t tell you how good it is. Saw this offer and decided that a belated birthday present for myself was really needed if any of you want to learn all about horses, I seriously recommend it! It’s a little pricey but is basically the Bible of Horses!“
