👉 Horse engineering, also known as equine biomechanics or equine biomechanical engineering, is a specialized field that applies principles of engineering and biomechanics to improve horse health, performance, and welfare. This involves analyzing the physical structure, movement patterns, and physiological functions of horses to design and optimize equipment, training methods, and management practices. By understanding how forces interact with the horse's body during movement, engineers can develop better saddles, bridles, and shoes that enhance comfort, reduce injury risk, and improve performance. Additionally, it includes the design of training equipment like treadmills and exercise platforms that cater to a horse's natural gait and muscle requirements. The ultimate goal is to create a symbiotic relationship between the horse and its rider, ensuring both parties benefit from improved efficiency, reduced strain, and enhanced overall well-being.
