Equinelibrium

                            Equinelibrium examines classical riding theory from the perspective of functional anatomy and biomechanics. Written by a veterinarian with a clinical focus on headshaking, ECVM, PSSM2/MIM and muscle-related lameness, the book connects scientific evidence with everyday riding and training practice, and marks clearly where evidence is strong, moderate or still missing.

The first part covers the foundations: functional anatomy, rider biomechanics, collection, the training scale, bits and auxiliary reins, warm-up and a chapter of literature references. The second part comprises 26 chapters on the movements, from transitions to piaffe and passage, with biomechanical criteria and common faults. The third part addresses clinical topics: trigeminal-mediated headshaking (TMHS), ECVM, PSSM2/MIM, compensatory and muscle-related lameness, as well as tölt and jumping. The appendix offers a judge-training and calibration model and a glossary. Nineteen figures illustrate the key concepts.

This is the English edition of the German original "Equinelibrium – Wissenschaftlich denken, biomechanisch reiten" (softcover ISBN 978-3-9526768-0-6, e-book ISBN 978-3-9526768-1-3).
