The Science of Motion
(Leonardo da Vincy)
Leonardo da Vincy (1452-1519) was a gifted rider.
His legacy goes beyond the Sforza equestrian model.
In two sentences, the Renaissance’s Master launches modern riders and trainers on the path of success:
“All our knowledge has its origin in our perceptions.” (Leonardo da Vinci)
“Be sure you know the structure of all you wish to depict.” (Leonardo da Vinci)
The authority-pleasing, question-suppressing, rule-following approach is wasting the athletic abilities of talented horses and gifted riders. Modern science exposes the horse’s vertebral column structure and function in details previously unknown. With this knowledge in mind, the rider’s feeling can lead the horse’s education toward unprecedented achievements.
Beyond Expectations
“It is hoped that consideration of the normal system will illumine the abnormal as well as the abnormal illumining the normal.” (James R. Rooney, Biomechanics of lameness in horses, 1969)
At first the Science of Motion concentrated on better performances. Then, friends, who were also desperate horse owners, pleaded to explore the thought that addressing the source of the problem, the horse’s vertebral column, could also help solving unsolvable lameness.
Studying the abnormal illuminated the normal; the very same technique that recreated soundness, unveiled gaits and performances previously out of reach.
