Dr Angela McLeod
Training
Angela is an equine vet with a special interest in equine biomechanics. Her seminars will give a basic understanding of the anatomy involved in correct posture and movement, how to optimise muscle development for a healthy horse that is pleasant to ride, how to recognise reasons for resistances and problems in training and how to recognise the signs of correct work.
Angela believes all riders should possess a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology in order to train their horses correctly according to the German Training Scale.

Equine biomechanics
The basic anatomy involved in correct posture and movement/ how to optimise muscle development for a healthy horse that is pleasant to ride.
The biomechanical laws which determine the order of the Training Scale and why this order is so important. Why suppleness is so important for all later stages of training, how to recognise the signs of suppleness and how to achieve this with your horse. The issue of natural crookedness and its implications on training.
