The first part of the webinar series “Natural asymmetry and training for straightness” is an ideal introduction to the topic of natural asymmetry of the horse.
- Why are our horses crooked?
- How does this asymmetry look like?
- What kinds of asymmetry are there?
- And why should we concern ourselves with it at all?
We discuss theories of possible causes, symptoms of crookedness and Bettina explains the asymmetry in theory. In the next two parts of the series, a detailed analysis of practical examples follows.
About the webinar series:
Understanding the natural asymmetry of the horse is essential to educating our horse correctly, so as to keep it sound and balanced until old age. Crookedness affects aids and training progress, as well as correct performance of exercises. Natural asymmetry can cause many problems such as muscle tensions, tendon problems, problems with rhythm, lameness, development of compensation muscles, and joint diseases.
