WITH DR RUSSELL MACKECHNIE-GUIRE
The horse is a miracle of bioengineering. From an evidenced-based perspective and with the use of slow-motion footage, the first part of this 2-hour webinar will discuss the biomechanics of high-level dressage movements such as half pass, piaffe, passage and flying changes as well as the biomechanical principles of the walk, trot and canter. The second part will discuss the biomechanics of jumping, with particular attention given to the forces associated during the take-off and landing and the effect that different fences can have on the horse jumping technique.

With that in mind, for every 10,000 new followers we like do a short welcome "who are we".
Russell MacKechnie-Guire holds a PhD in Equine Biomechanics, graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Russellโs thesis was titled โThe Relationship between Saddle and Rider Kinematics, Equine Locomotion, and Thoracolumbar Pressures in Sports Horsesโ. Russell holds a post at Hartpury University as a Reader in Equine Biomechanics.
Russell is based at Centaur Biomechanics, a company which he founded in 2006. He has extensively researched the effect that tack (saddle, bridle and girth) and the rider has on equine health and performance. Russellโs current area of research is horse-saddle-rider interaction, spinal kinematics in horses when ridden over ground, the effect that rider asymmetry has on equine back movement, and from a rehabilitation perspective, the effect that training aids and pole work exercise has on back movement. In addition, Russell collaborates with researchers on various research projects associated with equine health, rehabilitation and performance.
Russell is a consultant for the British Equestrian Federations World Class, Team GBR programme and is a member of Team GBRโs Scientific Advisory Group. Russell also sits on the Society of Master Saddlers Scientific Advisory Group, and is part of the executive committee for the International Taskforce on Laterality in Sports Horses.
Russell is also a Pilates instructor, Intrinsic (Human) Biomechanics Trainer, a BHSI equestrian coach, and a keen competitor in dressage and show jumping.

**Highland Pony Tails Bulletin**
I give up - walking to go and do the horses this morning, I notice Rosemary (aka youngest Monster) playing with her enclosure handleโฆโฆโฆShe is less than 4 weeks old, and already trying to escape from her enclosureโฆ..๐๐
Rosemary and I donโt really get on (well i think I need to face facts, that all the ponies run rings around me), anyway, Rosemary kicked me, trood on my both my feet and on a separate occasion, trood on my little toe and then dragged me around her enclosure which strained my lower back - all this at < 2 weeks oldโฆ..if she escapesโฆ.I wont be able to catch herโฆ..and In all honesty - I am not sure I want tooโฆ..People say, the foals will follow there Mummaโฆ.ohโฆ.not Highland Pony foals - they run in the opposite directionโฆ.(funny that)โฆ.๐
Today is a busy day of biomechanics (my actual job, not running around behind Highland Ponies)โฆ..Already going to the shop to get reinforcements after yesterdays escapeesโฆ.will now have to get extra to reinforce the foals enclosures!
He said they were easyโฆ Erik Mackechnie-Guire โค๏ธ
**SLOW MOTION FOOTAGE FROM BADMINTON 2022**
Short video featuring some of the slow motion footage I captured at Badminton Horse Trials today, using one of our High Speed Cameras. I always say that the horse is a miracle of bio-engineering, never tire of looking at their mechanics - how impressive are these athletes, both horse and rider ๐
