Q&A Recording: Assessing Equine Muscle Development

”Only if horses are being trained optimally will they be able to develop the most appropriate muscles, which will then be able to support the body so the horse doesn’t take incorrect steps which predispose them to lameness.” Dr. Sue Dyson

“We have to look at the musculature of the whole horse. When I’m looking at muscle development, I’m always asking myself whether the muscles are proportionate throughout the body of the horse. Are they overdeveloped or underdeveloped in an area, or do I see a combination of these?” Dr. Sue Dyson
