This time on the Anatomy in Clay Learning System podcast, the second section of audio from founder Jon Zahourek’s presentation at the Best Horse Practices Summit in Lexington, Kentucky. The summit was for professional riders, veterinarians, life-longer learners, recreational horse owners, and university professors. The summit was held in late October at Spy Coast Farm’s Equine Education Center. In this section, Jon Zahourek talks about the greater trochanter, elephant feet, gravity, the “duty phase” of a horse’s stride, and he discusses whether horses have clavicles - among many other observations.   More about the Best Horse Practices Summit: Intro and Outro music "Vicious Pen" courtesy of Moby Gratis
