Whole Horse biomechanical & behaviour assessments

As part of Mill View Stables mission to improve the lives of as many horses as possible, we offer assessments to external horse owners. These assessments are aimed at owners that are struggling with a range of problems.

• Poor performance – refusing jumps, low dressage scores, lack of energy etc.
• Unwanted behaviour patterns – head tossing, bucking, mounting problems, leaning on the reins, etc.
• Loss of confidence – horse or rider.
• Trouble fitting tack.
• Knowing that “something” isn’t right with a horse.
• Wanting to gain insight to a horse’s way of going.

What a Whole Horse Biomechanical and Behaviour Assessment involve?

Each assessment follows the same structure and takes approximately 2.5hrs.  

Standing assessment; breaking the horse down into segments looking at posture, muscle tone and strength, symmetry, body condition score etc..
