Description
This immersive one-day course is designed for equine professionals and owners who want to deepen their understanding of the equine forelimb through guided, hands-on dissection. The course offers a unique opportunity to explore musculoskeletal, fascial, neural, and vascular structures in a controlled, expert-led environment.
Participants will examine anatomical layers from skin to bone, linking structural insights to common injuries, compensatory patterns, and performance-related issues seen in clinical practice.
Whether your goal is to refine your palpation and manual therapy techniques or to enhance your communication with veterinarians and clients, this course delivers applied anatomical knowledge with immediate clinical relevance.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Identify and differentiate superficial and deep muscle groups of the equine forelimb
• Understand the anatomy and function of the major tendons and ligaments (e.g., SDFT, DDFT, suspensory apparatus)
• Locate and trace key nerves and blood vessels supplying the forelimb
• Relate anatomical knowledge to movement, performance, and common forelimb pathologies
• Improve manual palpation and assessment techniques based on in-depth anatomical understanding
• Introduction to functional forelimb anatomy
• Guided dissection from skin to bone
• Muscular system: key flexors, extensors, stabilisers
• Tendon and ligament architecture
• Fascial compartments and their clinical significance
• Neurovascular pathways: nerves and blood vessels
• Joint structure and implications for performance
• Linking anatomy to pathology: discussion on clinical cases
• Application to manual therapy, assessment, and rehabilitation
