A practical guide on how to use the Pegasus Gait System.
One Day Introductory Course
What is Biomechanics ?
Biomechanics is the study of the forces acting on a biological system. In simple terms it is the effects of the laws of motion on an animal; it is the maths behind the movement.
Gait Analysis is an aspect of biomechanical evaluation that measures the horses’ movement in each gait. This allows us to identify, analyse and monitor the characteristics of a horse’s movement from its early years through to retirement.
Many of the parameters that are important to the performance horse can now be monitored objectively. Using the Pegasus system we can carry out an objective and measured assessment to identify how well a horse is moving and what equine discipline would be most suitable.We can identify subtle lamness's and rider effect allowing for proactive changes to be made.
Pegasus System produces quantifiable information on the stride characteristics of the horse that can be interpreted along side observation techniques thus allowing true analysis
