Events

Overview:
This dissection will be a very participatory dissection. The group size will allow ample time to observe, touch, and move different tissues and joints. It will give us all a chance to explore, ask each other questions, and seek the answers to those questions as a group. Lorre Mueller will lead much of the dissection but there will be welcomed participation from all who attend.

If you have any specific questions or a topic of interest that you do not see listed, please feel free to email Lorre at trinityequinellc@gmail.com.  All efforts will be made to address your questions or topics.

More Details:
Here are the main topics covered in the dissection:

• Movement of the TMJ and interarticular disc

• How incorrect bridle fit has implications on these structures and others

• Can we feel the hind limb movement in the hyoid apparatus?

• All major muscles groups

• Organs and the possibility of dissecting certain organs to see the inside of them, for example: heart, kidneys, and stomach.

• Connection between psoas, kidneys, and diaphragm

• Connection of rectus capitus muscles and the duramater

• How some muscles interdigitate with others creating stronger connections, for example: gluteus medius and longissimus dorsi and the diaphragm with abdominus transversus

• The removal of the front limb to observe muscles of the medial side and the thoracic sling muscles.

• Brachial plexus and implications of entrapment

• All tendons of the lower limbs

• Opening certain joint capsules to explore more of their function, for example: stifle, hock, and hip

• Looking at the function of the stay apparatus of the hind limb

• Removal of hyoid apparatus and looking at its motion

Overview:
If you are interested in what true collection means, what the horse has to do in his body to achieve that, and how you can better help them do that, this is the clinic for you. Come learn about the muscles required to achieve self-carriage, how the horse uses itself to become light on the front end, the role of the thoracic sling and neck in the process. The horse is elevating his back not lifting it and it is an amazing simple process when we can help them do it correctly!

Overview:
Come learn about the balance of the teeth and the TMJ and how it is related to the rest of the body.  Learn how imbalances in the mouth can affect movement.  Learn about the connection between the teeth and the feet.  Learn about the fascial connections throughout the body.  Learn simple things you can look at in your own horses to see if there are any imbalances.  Look at posture in the horse and be able to see if it is coming from imbalances in the mouth and/or feet.
