Clinton Anderson Gives Nod of Approval to Horse 360

 

 

Two Apps in One!  Horse 360 offers a unique way for enthusiasts to learn horse anatomy and converse with their veterinary professionals.

1. Learning the Anatomy of the Horse: Five levels of questions with progressive difficulty at each level.
2. Vet Talk: a visual tool designed to aid communication between the horse owner and their veterinary professionals during the diagnosis and discussion of veterinary treatment.

Respected trainer and clinician, Clinton Anderson, gives Horse 360 his nod of approval: 

"When I was approached by Gary and Danny to join the Horse 360 community, I didn’t hesitate to join their cause. I’m a learn-a-holic by nature and believe in taking every opportunity I can to add to my knowledge. In my twenty years of teaching horsemen how to safely work with their horses and being active in the competitive world as well, I know as a horseman in order to get the best performance out of your horse and to become better yourself, you have to constantly be adding to your knowledge. In fact, I often tell my clinic participants that knowledge is power. The more knowledgeable you are, the more you’re able to accomplish with your horse. A lack of knowledge, when you no longer know how to correct your horse or move on, leads to frustration for both humans and horses. With that being said, we as horsemen spend a lot of time studying and perfecting our technique and worrying about the horse responding correctly, and often overlook the horse’s physical health and the mechanics of his body. Knowing how your horse’s body works and recognizing when he isn’t healthy or sound, is vital to his performance, and ultimately enjoying your partnership together. If the horse isn’t healthy, I guarantee none of your hard work will pay off, because he physically can’t meet your expectations, and you’ll end up frustrated."

"That’s why I believe the Horse 360 app and the community established here are so important. Helping riders understand the anatomy of their horse and how the horse’s different systems work together affects your ability to work as a team. And what’s more important is the app actually makes learning fun! I found myself getting caught up in the app’s game-like features and even getting stumped by its questions a few times; it’s become my new favorite toy. You’re actually learning a very sophisticated level of anatomy without even realizing it because it’s enjoyable. Before, if you wanted to learn the horse’s skeletal, muscular or organ systems you were stuck studying out of a book for hours – a mentally tasking chore and not practical for horsemen on the go. I think the app is an incredible learning tool that will prove to be invaluable to the horse world, especially in terms of educating the next generation of horsemen."

"I think all of the professionals represented in this community agree that the more you know about your horse, the better horseman you’ll become. It’s quite remarkable to look at the wide range of disciplines and backgrounds of the horsemen involved in this effort from Olympic riders to professionals in the equine health field to those who represent the English disciplines to those who ride western. It speaks volumes about the importance of horse welfare. No matter what you do with your horse, if you want to be successful, you have to understand everything about him – the way he thinks, how to communicate with him and how his body functions."

"I look forward to fostering the Horse 360 community and encouraging horsemen around the world to utilize the Horse 360 app. I know I’ve brushed up on my own knowledge by using the app and think it’s exactly what the industry needs to help educate all horse owners and enthusiasts whether they be 5 or 90."
