Anne will explain Sport Horse conformation and how it relates to biomechanics. She will lead us through a “Let’s Go Shopping” scenario to help us make knowledgeable decisions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of various conformations and how they help or challenge the horse’s performance.

Then Anne will show us Harmony Lines in horse conformation and will even use a paper copy of photo of her own less-than-perfect horse as demonstration. She will use pen and a ruler to mark it up. Big bonus for all visual learners! Anyone who wishes to bring a paper printed copy of a side view of their horse may also get the opportunity to mark Harmony Lines and discuss ways to optimize a horse’s conformational strengths and work with their weaknesses.
