Introduction Horses naturally carry a greater proportion of their body weight on the forehand. Biomechanical studies consistently demonstrate that, at rest and during locomotion, horses bear approximately 60 percent of their body weight on the forelimbs and 40 percent on the hind limbs (Clayton, 2016; Hobbs et al., 2018). While this distribution is normal, it […]

IntroductionHorses are capable of carrying the weight of a rider because of the coordinated interaction between the head, neck, spine, pelvis, and hind limbs. This ability depends heavily on how the horse moves, rather than simply its size or strength. Understanding the biomechanics behind spinal support helps explain why correct posture, particularly movement in a
