| Peter Gray has produced this film to show the difference between normal and abnormal movement of the horse. A sample of 3 Ten Minute low resolution clips from the movie are available to view from this website - simply click the links opposite to open each clip. (Please note each Quicktime movie will take a few minutes to download, depending on your connection speed.) | |||||||||||

| The essence of the message is visual and much use has been made of slow motion to demonstrate balance and symmetry against the kind of restriction that comes through injury.
Horses are seen before and after recovery, helping to show even the inexperienced eye the detail of a difficult field. The reason for producing a film at this time is to draw attention to an area of lameness that appears to be little understood. Locomotory problems caused by muscular injury are on the increase. A visit to any sale of mature horses reflects the numbers being cast off because such problems seem insoluble. We do not recognise the significance of the muscular system, generally, and this whole anomaly will not be resolved until we do. |

We all recognise the need of human athletes for regular muscle care. We regularly see the consequences of acute injury in televised races. Itís important to appreciate that horses suffer the same kind of injury, if not as dramatically, and the need for muscle care is as critical for any animal required to perform at any level.
The Horse in Motion is available in DVD and VHS formats, price £24.99 for the full 50 minute version and £15.99 for a shorter 30 minute version. To order a copy, click the 'ORDER' button to order via this website:

The Horse in Motion is also available in a series of 5 digital downloads of 10 minutes duration.
Please note that the reason for dividing the film into five clips was merely for convenience and speed in downloading. Each clip is an essential part of a whole and each one has its own invaluable information for anyone wishing to study The Horse in Motion. It may be that, for some, a single clip will suffice, but the complexities of the subject mean there is value in every segment. To learn from it, the full film should be viewed repeatedly, when each viewing will, in all probability, bring a little more to the eye. Those who really want to penetrate the subject will study it many times. The Horse in Motion Clips are available either Quicktime or Windows Media format, price £5.00 each. lf you would like to order this film or clips of it please send us an email with your requirements and we can arrange payment and either a download or as an attachment to an email. |

Clip 1 includes an introduction with a short clip of the racehorses, Best Mate and Edredon Bleu, at play in their paddock. It then moves on to the dressage horse, Giotto, whose movement restrictions are mainly seated in upper body injuries.
Clip 2 shows more of Giotto, both before and after treatment, and compares his abnormal movement with that of the normal action of Best Mate.
Clip 3 begins with a further breakdown of lameness involving both fore and hind limbs. You see OJ (a racehorse) and Liszt (a Spanish bred dressage horse), then the Thoroughbred eventer, Burleigh - before and after his problems were resolved.
Clip 4 returns to Giotto then shows the pony mare, Dizzy, also Mickey, a striking hunter gelding as both show the influences of lameness and its correction.
Clip 5 shows the Arab gelding, Harry, both in side-reins and when ridden, also Donald, a hunter gelding. We see OJ on the gallops, then Best Mate at the races, when he isn't moving so freely, on one of the rare occasions when he was beaten.
