2 Day Whole Horse Dissection 

This dissection will give you a unique look at the structures of the equine body. 

While the primary focus is detailed anatomy, we'll also prioritize how anatomical structures work together to influence biomechanics, movement, and clinical function.

From Structure to Movement

Appreciate the anatomy behind the function.

In this class we will:

  • Identify the major muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, of the horse. 
  • Understand how different anatomical structures are connected throughout the body.
  • Explain how anatomy influences movement and biomechanics. 
  • Recognize the structures important for performance, soundness, and rehabilitation.
  • Improve your understanding of common areas of injury and dysfunction. 
  • Build confidence in locating anatomical landmarks by seeing them in three dimensions.
  • Connect what you see in the dissection to your daily clinical or hands-on work.
  • Develop a stronger foundation in equine anatomy to improve assessment and treatment decisions.

Meet the Instructors

Ciara Crawford

 

I’m a licensed occupational therapist and the owner of Sozo Equine, LLC.

I’ve been an instructor for 6 years and enjoy making all things that are related to anatomy and biomechanics simple enough for everyone to understand.

I believe all bodywork, therapeutic modalities, and training should be founded on the correct understanding and application of anatomy and biomechanics.

My passion for these two things get a chance to shine specifically during a whole-horse dissection, but my favorite part of teaching is seeing the unique way that a room of people come together for each class.

It’s different every single time, and every person has something unique and valuable to offer.

Hey there!
 
I’m Katlyn Hays, the owner, bodyworker, and barefoot trimmer of Topline Equine.
 
Equine bodywork was introduced to me in early 2022 when I had a couple of horses worked on and I was blown away by how much I didn’t know and how greatly we could affect their body and mind through different bodywork modalities.
 
I love to learn and add new tools to my toolbox, but more than that, I firmly believe that knowledge is meant to be shared. No gate keeping here! 
 
I always look forward to meeting new equine enthusiasts and sharing the opportunity to learn straight from the horse.
