Phase II > Movement > Module 3
Module 3. Movement Science
Explore how movement emerges through biomechanics, energetics, fluids mechanics and neural control. Learn how the horse organizes movement as an adaptive and dynamic whole.
Outcome
You will be able to interpret locomotion holistically and describe the key mechanisms that affect quality and performance.
