Equine Skeletal System
Understanding the skeletal system is vital for anyone working with horses—from trainers and therapists to veterinary professionals and committed owners. This in-depth online course explores the anatomy and function of the equine skeleton, bridging scientific theory with practical application.
From the skull and spine to the limbs and joints, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how bone structure influences movement, performance, and soundness. You’ll also explore skeletal growth and development, key biomechanical principles, and common skeletal conditions that can impact welfare and athletic potential.
Delivered through step-by-step online modules, downloadable resources, anatomical diagrams, and video tutorials, this course equips learners with the tools to improve daily horse care, make informed decisions, and support long-term skeletal health.
Whether you’re aiming to enhance your clinical knowledge or simply deepen your understanding of equine anatomy, this course lays the foundation for responsible, evidence-based equine management.
