    Anyone catch this tonight?

    I thought it was very interesting and loved every part of it especially the tendons.

    Its amazing when yer man said that biology has stronger tools than engineering.

    One question though, when in gallop is it passive when the leg goes forward?

    Thank You for the link.

    Amazing insight and should really be a must watch for anyone involved with Horses.
    When you look at the pressure generated by the horse moving at all how many people ever consider the pressure on limbs when landing over even 80cm

    The part where they showed the snapping of the tendon on over reach was violent and frightening :eek: Really made me think anyway...
