The Horse Inside Out

A unique insight into the horse’s body

What makes The Horse Inside Out so special is the way knowledge and visuals come together. Instead of dry theory, you literally get an inside look at the horse’s body — with high-quality videos, dissection footage, and clear explanations.

Part 1

The healthy horse

This section focuses on the healthy horse. The different systems of the body and how they interact are clearly presented — from the skeleton to the nervous system, and from the senses to the functioning of the organs. The evolutionary development of the horse is also covered.

Part 2

The horse in motion

This section focuses on movement, both normal and abnormal. You will learn about movement deviations and how to recognize them. Topics include gait analysis, conditions that can cause lameness, and the horse’s natural capacity for recovery.

Part 3

The horse in practice

The connections within the horse’s body become even clearer. Here you will delve into the systems that make this possible — and you will discover how conditions in one part of the body can affect the whole. You will earn more about the influence of tack on the horse’s body.

You will learn to recognize how different systems and organs influence each other, and understand the consequences of conditions or compensations.

In most cases, a condition doesn’t only affect the part of the body where it occurs — it can impact the entire body. We will show you these connections using a number of real-life case studies.

In addition, part 3 focuses on the influence of tack, the effects of evolution and domestication, and the connections within the body.

Learn from Zefanja Vermeulen

For years, I have carried the desire to share my special work with a wider audience. I possess a treasure trove of unique visual material, built up through years of research and dissections, and I was looking for a way to make this in-depth knowledge accessible to every horse enthusiast.

Ultimately, the COVID-19 lockdown pushed me to take a creative step. I decided to set aside my doubts and take the leap into online education and I’m so glad I did!

Together with e-quine.com, I was able to translate my years of knowledge and the stunning visual material into an accessible online program for a wide audience.

The success exceeded anything we could have ever imagined. Many participants wanted to go beyond standard anatomy books and truly understand the horse’s body, so they could apply this knowledge in their work or hobby. That has always been our goal, and it’s fantastic to see that we’ve achieved it.

I’m incredibly proud of this wonderful online course we’ve created!
