Equine Movement Patterns in Relation to Biomechanical Tissue with Dr Kirk Peck Equine athletes are subjected to a variety of physical demands based on sport specific requirements. Competitive events including show jumping, dressage, eventing, and track racing require highly conditioned and adaptable equine body tissues and physiologic abilities. Sustaining injuries during conditioning and competitive events are commonly encountered by horses that are selected to train and participate in the world of sport.
Centaur Biomechanics was found in 2006 by Dr. Russell MacKechnie-Guire who graduated from Warwickshire College in 2006 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine and Human Sports Science and now holds a PhD in Equine Biomechanics graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Russell’s thesis was titled ‘The Relationship between Saddle and Rider Kinematics, Equine Locomotion, and Thoracolumbar Pressures in Sports Horses’.
