Hard to believe that it’s been three months already since I took the EcoSomatics Equine class in Truth or Consequences/NM.
There was a lot of first-class information to absorb, especially about the anatomy of the horse. Everything from bones to joints to ligaments to fascia. The bones of the cranial vault, the hyoid apparatus, TMJ, the scapula, vertebrae and intertransverse joints. Diaphragm and cranial base releases, ligamentum nuchae, supraspinous ligament and sacrosciatic ligament. Tuber coxae, glutes, omotransversarius. What happens when certain muscles are under- or overdeveloped due to bad riding habits, and so much more. It was great to see the changes in the ranch horses that were being worked on by the practitioners during class, how teamwork can really amplify the results, and to experience the vast knowledge of the instructor. |
