142.  Anticipatory Balance - both horses and humans have it!

 In this episode, we dive into the fascinating concept of anticipatory balance—the body’s ability to predict movement before it happens. It’s a skill that both humans and horses rely on constantly, and in Equine-Assisted Services, it becomes a crucial part of safety, function, and performance. We explore how anticipatory balance develops, how it keeps us from getting injured, and what happens when it’s impaired. Key Topics CoveredWhat is anticipatory balance?How humans use anticipatory balance in everyday life and ridingHow equines shift, brace, and stabilize their bodies in anticipation of rider movement, terrain changes, or herd dynamics.Register now for the Balancing the Scales Mini Course here:  https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/BalancingTheScalesMiniCourseFollow us on social and plug in here: https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/HETRAUniversityLinks
