Part 2 Ever wondered what’s really happening underneath the saddle?
We caught up with the incredible Gillian Higgins at the Horses Inside Out Anatomy Exhibition for an exclusive preview of a NEW anatomy exhibition on the biomechanics of our horses.
As part of our Summer of Safety campaign, we’re highlighting that true safety starts with understanding—and knowing your horse inside out is one of the most powerful tools a rider and owner can have. When you understand their movement, comfort, and structure, you’re better equipped to ensure a safer, happier partnership.
Join Claire and Gillian on this journey of discovery!
