Book excerpt: The most comprehensive guide to the horse's body - inside and out - ever published. In athletics as in architecture, form follows function, and nowhere is that truth more important than in equestrian sports. The better a horse's conformation (how the animal measures up, or conforms, to the ideal standards of its breed or type), the better it will be able to perform. Using hundreds of photographs and drawings, this masterfully produced book will show you how to develop the eye that any horseman needs to assess equine conformation and anatomy. Its comprehensive text focuses on: Ideal and abnormal conformation features Balance and symmetry The relationship between conformation faults and athletic ability Colors and markings Anatomical elements, teeth, and aging Digestive, neurological, respiratory, and circulatory systems The relationship between structure and function Now in paperback, Horse Conformation is the single most valuable book on its subject and one that deserves a prominent place in every horse owner's or rider's library.

Book excerpt: It is no secret that speed, stamina, jumping ability, and athletic prowess depend on the horse’s physical ability to perform. However, the world has seen many ‘great’ athletic bodies, human and horse, fail to reach their true potential, while others, perhaps thought to be less great in form and function, reach the pinnacle of their sport or discipline. In the world of human athletes, we might claim hard work, ‘grit’, or ‘heart’ as the force greater than muscle that propels them to the top. But the horse doesn’t have performance goals in the way we do, so what is it that motivates one racehorse to leave the rest of the field behind to cross the finish line first?In these pages, Kerry explains how it is possible - initially by using an Emotional Conformation Profile - to determine if a horse has what it takes inside him to make what he has on the outside great. Can your racing prospect handle distance? Does your event horse have the ‘finish’ to clear that last enormous cross-country obstacle when his legs are tired? Is your horse capable of maintaining focus in the face of large crowds and multiple distractions? More importantly, he tells you how to develop specific training protocols towards given goals, thus enabling a horse to perform at his very best.

Download or read book Equine Levering for the Racehorse written by Ross Brunt and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop 'an eye for a horse'. Applying Levering to the Racehorse. Full color version. The book explains: the technicalities of how conformation levering applies to the racehorse; the rules that determine levering traits, & the unique levering traits of varied racehorse types such as sprinters, stayers, jumpers etc. Furthermore it discusses how levering relates to ability, distance gearing, yearling selection, traditional conformation, performance, breeding, stride length/type, racing conditions, etc.. With the many contradictions involved with the standard text book conformation, the author has set about researching many facets of equine conformation from scratch. This has been accomplished with software specifically developed for the purpose of not only identifying desired traits, but further analyzing the not so perfect traits, that often provide hidden benefits. The book is not about Veterinary, straight conformation, or the classic textbook show horse. If you just want a book about purchasing yearlings, 'Thoroughbred Yearling Selection based on Biomechanics' from the same author is a better purchase. Quote from racing magazine "Ross Brunt's take on conformation is like a breath of fresh air. Sometimes controversial, but never bland, his articles in 'Breeding&Racing' are among the most popular & well received. Capable of cutting through hyperbole to simple mechanics in layman's terms, Brunt has combined his years of analysis to produce an excellent publication." "Equine Conformation for the Racehorse is a treasure-trove for both new & seasoned buyers alike, & a publication every trainer should have in their office." "Brunt's book clearly demonstrates that when it comes to conformation one can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear." - Breeding&Racing magazine. Includes detailed chapters on & references to barrel racers & endurance horses. Lots of photos help the learning process. Chapters initially written as stand alone articles, so some information will cross. FULL COLOR VERSION.

This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Thomas Herding Technique is thoroughly explained in this book that helps trainers of top equine athletes get them to perform their very best while living happy, contented lives. While following wild horse herds in Wyoming and Montana, independent researcher Kerry Thomas realized that what is inside the horse (emotional conformation) and not what is outside (how a horse is built, or its physical conformation) is what governs herd dynamics. He determined that this was the basis for everything horse: whatever role a horse plays in a human environment-whatever breed, sport, or job-the emotional conformation dictates, in large part, success or failure. Thomas identified a system of emotional profiling-the Thomas Herding Technique-that enables him to determine a horse's performance tendencies, and then began to develop ways in which horses can be mentally conditioned toward a given goal. The technique is already used by some leading racehorse training and breeding programs in the world, and this book explains this unique way of analyzing the psyche of the equine athlete for all horses, and particularly those in competitive careers where performance is a primary focus"--
