Simple one to help understand every bone is shaped for the job it needs to do, which in turn every thing surrounding and moving the bone is also unique and does have its limits 😊
We often just think of the neck as one piece without seeing the unique shapes created for specific tasks
Its worth thinking about when we are asking our horses for a range of motion at a specific place, we can ask but they may not be able to do and why understanding the structures and their limits is crucial for anyone who works with horses

So I was going to write about the collar bone or lack of it in the horse but human drawing is hard and then this popped in my head as it does
So I thought this may help you when your therapist asks for pics and you go 🧐
Keeping a diary of your horse is really important, pictures can help you look back and see with a more observant eye rather than in the moment.
Hope this helps I may do a little webinar about things that I look for but dont want everyone rushing out terrified their horse is not "normal" 😄😄😄 remember every horse is unique and often posture is a moment in time
P.s you will probably get lots of random items drawn as I put off the dreaded human drawings 😃😃

How brilliant is this?

As requested the diaphragm but again let's not just think about the torso☺️, breath needs to be felt through the whole horse, everything that is involved in the movement of the ribcage will have cause and affect around the whole body.
I have many posts about the specifics of the diaphragm and you can just search for the posts about origin insertion etc, but I find if we only talk about one thing we begin a tunnel vision of just working in one area to find and resolve an issue.
As a human who needs to work on not wearing my shoulders as earings as my ribcage shifts up I know that the first part of a healthy breath is a less stressed brain so a healthy environment for your horse with the ability to move away from perceived danger is the first step to a better working relationship between breath and the body.

This picture is only a small part of the connections rather than attachments but you get the point of whole horse
Where would you start ???

P.s dont come at me for the ribcage drawing its bloody hard even if not anatomically perfect i want to get across whole horse 🫠
