What?!!! A radical veterinarian in the 1800s said all horses need to be kept and ridden barefoot?!!! Yes, that's true!! Bracy Clark "was a veterinarian working at the Royal Veterinary College in London, a scientist and member of several international scientific organizations. He discovered, researched, and, beginning in 1809, published a number of scientific papers about the ill effects of the horseshoe, the anatomy and physiology of the hoof (already chronicling the circulation in the hoof, and how a metal shoe compromised it), and among other things, discovered and named the periople."

Most horses aren’t resistant, lazy, or unwilling.
They’re confused. Misunderstood. Moving in ways that feel off , but they don’t have the language to say so.
And neither do we, unless we’ve trained our feel to hear it.

Their bodies, just like ours, are built to survive, not to perform in perfect, efficient movement.
So when we ask for engagement, bend, lift, softness, collection…
They often give us tension, compensation, or collapse. Not because they’re “wrong,” but because they don’t know what right feels like.

Their experience of their own body is shaped by pain, pattern, habit, and how we ride them.
Muscles take over where bones don’t align.
Stability vanishes when joints don’t load properly.
A hollow back is just as often a lack of clarity as it is a lack of strength.

That’s where biomechanics comes in.

Biomechanics is about teaching the feel of correctness.
It’s about helping your horse discover how to move in a way that feels good, feels easy, feels right, so that they want to keep doing it.

And that starts with your body.
Because your seat tells the story.
If your pelvis is locked, your horse’s back will be too.
If your shoulders collapse, your horse’s ribcage can’t lift.
If your aids are noise, your horse can’t hear your whisper.

This isn’t about riding “better.” It’s about riding true.
True to how your horse’s body is meant to function.
True to your own alignment, nervous system, and influence.

Because when biomechanics is in place:
You and your horse stop fighting against each other’s imbalances
And start dancing in each other’s freedom.

This is what I teach.
Not quick fixes. Not shortcuts. Not “feel-good” bandaids.
But the actual roadmap from misunderstanding to mastery for both horse and rider.
