Eclectic Conversations - Horse Conformation Volume 2 with Deb Bennett, Ph.D.

Join us for a conversation that delves into the second volume of Dr. Deb's fantastic new book set.
This book contains the best of the world’s largest collection of conformation photos of horses belonging to people of ordinary means. Over 400 examples! Highly readable, this book is addressed to every horse owner and everyone who works with horses!
Volume II builds on core concepts presented in Volume I. It begins with detailed study of the loin coupling - the anatomical key to the horse’s ability to round up and collect (and also to extend, both the back itself and the stride). The multi-layered anatomy of the back is presented in the very practical context of learning to fit a saddle. The book then returns to “the greatest unsolved mystery of the Classical era” with illustrated discussion of raising the base of the horse’s neck. This is given not merely to show variation in how the neck may join to the chest, but to wipe away longstanding confusions about how a horse arches its neck to go properly “on the bit”. The reader learns that there is a world of difference between raising the base of the neck and merely elevating the poll!
