The Conformation Club by Cindy Reich - a place for those who want to learn how to look critically at a horse and evaluate its conformation. The Conformation Club is for owners, breeders, trainers – anyone who wants to understand what is behind the profile of the horse.

The Conformation Club is available at three levels – beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Each level consists of a series of six to eight one-hour online lectures, taken at your own pace, with a final live interactive session where participants can ask questions and take a review to see how well they have learned the material.

This is for the complete course:

Beginners: You will learn how to organise your thoughts and develop a system. How to become consistent and repeatable when you look at a horse. What did the Arabian horse evolve to do? Balance – the key to everything. Anatomy – understand the individual parts and how they work to understand the horse. Understand the basics of feet and legs.

Intermediate: Building on the basics. Why does balance matter? Different body types and how they affect balance and movement. Different types of hindquarters and how they work. Understanding the shoulder and how it affects movement. What is Arabian type – and how is it determined and defined? Building on looking at feet and legs and recognizing faults.

Advanced: Understand leg faults, both major and minor. Learn more about form to function. Understand the “why”of leg faults. Biomechanics – what is the most balanced construction, and why. How fads influence form to function. Putting everything together.

THE COURSE WILL BE RELEASED TOWARDS THE END OF APRIL/BEGINNING OF MAY. You will be advised once the lectures are available to watch. Please e-mail info@thearabianmagazine.com with any technical issues.
