We've said it once and we will say it again: Building a successful rehab program requires clinical reasoning and evidence-based knowledge!

While there are guidelines, such as time spent in each stage of healing, this is individual to each horse, injury, and tissue type.

In our courses, we teach you how to analyze the situation and develop the best possible plan for recovery using science, logic, and strategy. We offer a number of RACE-approved online courses, as well as free short courses of interest!

You know as well as we do that each horse's injury is unique. For example, a joint is complex because it is stabilised by various structures. Each has a different timeline for healing.

Depending on the diagnosis, the location, the structures involved, and the type of lesion, the rehabilitation plan CANNOT be a one-size-fits-all approach!

๐ŸŒŸThe essence of the Online Academy of Equine Science approach is this: We teach you how to use clinical reasoning to develop evidence-based rehab programs for individual cases in our comprehensive Evidence-Based Equine Rehabilitation course.๐ŸŒŸ

A successful rehabilitation for the horse DEPENDS on the practitioner's plan, including a highly refined ability to shape rehabilitation to the injury. Where different structures are involved (for example, a joint and a collateral ligament), healing time will be different for the bone and the ligament, and different treatments are usually required to address the individual lesions.

There's a reason we call it "the core."

Our core musculature (and that of our horses) is the foundation of so many other body systems working correctly!

In the horse, the core muscles of the spine are responsible, in large part, for:

1๏ธโƒฃSpinal stability

2๏ธโƒฃEven limb loading

3๏ธโƒฃIdeal posture in standing and movement

4๏ธโƒฃPrevention of pain and injury in the spine or limbs

5๏ธโƒฃOptimal of motion and flexibility

6๏ธโƒฃand overall excellence in performance!

Our online "Core Strengthening for Optimal Equine Performance" course is just $150, and you can start today!

You'll learn everything from functional anatomy to specific exercises and techniques for strengthening of the core. All course material is evidence-based, and guaranteed for safety and effectiveness.

Plus, you will receive 3 hours of RACE-approved CE credit!

This is a trailer to "The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Painโ€, a 35-minute documentary featuring world-renowned expert in equine orthopedics, Dr Sue Dyson, and her research on how โ€œbadโ€ horse behavior can actually be an early indicator of pain. The film follows Dr Dyson and Dr Jim Myers of Gold Coast Equine, as they examine and diagnose show jumper Lauren McMahonโ€™s beloved mare Galina, who was not obviously lame, yet seemed increasingly unhappy under saddle. Lauren had โ€œtried everythingโ€ to figure out what was wrong, including ulcer treatments, multiple joint injections and specialized shoeing but Galina only became more resistant under saddle. Galinaโ€™s story is not uncommon for horses that do not present with an obvious head bobbing lameness. Oftentimes these are horses that get labeled as โ€œresistant,โ€ โ€œlazy,โ€ and for horses that buck or rear from pain, โ€œexplosive.โ€ Trainers often tell riders to โ€œpush them through it.โ€
The film will educate horse lovers on how to spot the early signs of pain while taking viewers on an emotional โ€œrideโ€ through the eyes of a young girl who loves her horse and will stop at nothing to try to figure out how to make her comfortable.
The full documentary will launch on September 30! Learn more on https://www.24horsebehaviors.org/

**NEW POLE WORK EXERCISE RESEARCH**

Great to work with an exciting group of researchers looking at the effect that pole work exercise has on equine locomotion.

Here is a new paper published in Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, titled โ€œEffect of ground and raised poles on kinematics of the walkโ€, authors: Vicki A. Walker*, Carolyne A. Tranquillle, Russell MacKechnie-Guire, Jo Spear, Richard Newton & Rachel C.Murray*

For a limited time, this paper is available as Open Access using the link below. Massive thank you to the Petplan Charitable Trust who funded this research.

Optimal core strength is reflected in stability in movement, or dynamic stability. Optimal dynamic stability reduces risk of injury and enhances your horseโ€™s performance. Core strength is trained through connecting the brain with the body, through specific multi-group muscle activation exercises.
This evidence-based course takes you through detailed aspects and concepts related to core conditioning in the horse.

You will learn about functional anatomy, biomechanics, the connection between the brain and the body (motor control), how and when to safely carry out combinations of different core activation and strengthening exercises (from the ground and dynamically), and other available therapies that can support the conditioning of your horseโ€™s core.

As practitioners, we have the responsibility of looking at the big picture when evaluating horses: there is more to the session than a physical treatment. Equine welfare is multi-faceted!

Consider not only physical discomfort, but look at behavioural cues, and consider the horse's husbandry and surroundings.
For example: the stable may be fancy, but if there is no turnout or direct interaction with other horses, is this a stressor to the horse that manifests in a physical way? Does it affect performance?
Educate owners on the importance of overall comfort and well-being.

This article offers an excellent insight into both physical and physiological aspects of equine welfare, and how to apply these observations to the benefit of the horse.

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/10/2/294

Animal welfare is defined as a chronic state reflecting an individualโ€™s subjective perception of its situation. Because it is possible to be in a good welfare state and nevertheless experience acute fear or pain, and conversely, short-term positive emotions can be experienced during impaired w...
