Learn and discover the muscles of the horse in a playful and visual way
The myology of the horse is often perceived as an arduous and complex area of knowledge.
Nevertheless, knowledge of the horse’s muscles is fundamental to :
- fully exploit the horse’s physical potential
- ensure the horse’s mental and physical well-being;
- know its abilities and limitations.
Aware of the stakes, Julia Prével, equine manual masseuse, delivers her know-how and equine expertise in this 240-page book. It is with a playful, pleasant and accessible approach that she wrote “Myologie du cheval, muscle par muscle“, published in 2022.

In this book you will find...
The table of contents covers the anatomy of the horse from the head to the tip of the tail.
The different parts of the horse’s body are detailed: head, neck, neck, shoulder, arms… as well as their opposite regions (dorsal / ventral, lateral / medial…).
This global vision of the musculature of the horse allows you to see indirectly the different planes, the agonist and antagonist muscles.
On the programme: the hyoid, masticatory and locomotor apparatus of the horse.
The result: a better understanding of the functioning and biomechanics of your horse in a single book.
Highlights of the book
Careful drawings
The drawings are done by hand with watercolour pencils in an unconventional angle, which does not follow the classical plans of anatomy plates. This pedagogical approach facilitates the visualisation of the muscle and its movement.
Accessible texts
The editorial content is simplified and includes the origins, endings, functions, vessels and nerves for each muscle. This is combined with highly visual drawings for quick and easy learning.
Is this book for me?
This book is aimed at students and professionals in the equine world who are looking for knowledge. But its educational, entertaining and accessible approach allows enthusiasts and anyone who loves horses to learn about the muscular functioning of the horse.
