Postulations on Posture!

Enter wiki here!
This week we have been uploading content onto the 'Posture' section of our Ridden Horse Behaviour wiki. We are trying to keep content simple, descriptive and objective, but this isn't always easy! Assessing the moving horse in real time will always involve some subjectivity because the human eye is simply not fast enough to capture what is happening 'frame by frame'. This is why you will sometimes see a photograph of a ridden horse showing behaviour which is not really representative of the overall picture: digital photography means that different stills from the same sequence can display the good, the bad, and sometimes the downright ugly! 

If you have any clips or links yourself that illustrate interesting posture in the ridden horse, we would love to receive them. You might like to also read this article on Relative Elavation and Self-carriage found here, which is also the source of this super diagram.
