Equine Anatomy Course and Health Considerations

The Equine Anatomy Course and Health Considerations, created by Lisa Haldane, provides a detailed exploration of the horse’s physical structure, including muscles, bones, and organ systems, to enhance understanding of how anatomy impacts overall health and performance. The course also covers key health considerations, such as recognizing early signs of injury or illness, understanding the importance of proper nutrition, and applying preventative care measures to ensure the horse’s long-term well-being. This knowledge helps owners and professionals make informed decisions to optimize the horse’s care, training, and recovery.
