The Animal Rehab
Institute’s intensive training programs provide students with
solid foundations in anatomy, physiology, conformation and biomechanics
of the horse. Using the innovative Zahourek System®, students
construct the muscles of the animals in clay over specially designed
and accurately scaled models.
Building from the inside out,
participants
comprehend form and function while discovering
the logic of anatomy.
Course Description: This 3-day workshop allows you to learn the musculoskeletal anatomy of the hose by building the horses muscles from the inside out onto the Equiken (TM) Model. Participants comprehend form and function while discovering the logic of anatomy and the relationship of structures. A great learning opportunity to help you visualize the musculoskeletal system of the horse. Build on your current knowledge or satisfy a desire to learn what makes your horse move. Half day classroom building muscles and half day hands on in the barn palpating horses.
