How does the Equine Myofascial Kinetic Lines influence the posture and foot stance with Dr Rikke Shultz

How does the Equine Myofascial Kinetic Lines influence the posture and foot stance with Dr Rikke Schultz The foot stance in horses is traditionally being looked at from the hoof and toe, but when it is the muscles and fascia which controls the motion of the limbs and the posture, it makes sense to also look at it from above. The posture is determined from the best balance of the body in respect to specific tensions and possible pain patterns that the horse experience. The Equine Myofascial Kinetic Lines are functional anatomical and biomechanical “roadmaps” which can be used to asses the posture and tension and thereby get an idea of what influences the foot stance.
