Easy Equine Anatomy – The Nervous System
Understanding the nervous system can seem complicated, but this book breaks it down into easy-to-follow sections with clear illustrations and explanations.
The nervous system is the communication network of the horse, connecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and organs to allow the horse to sense, move and respond to the world around them.
In this book we explore the different parts of the equine nervous system, from the brain and spinal cord to the major nerve pathways throughout the body.
Designed for visual learners, Easy Equine Anatomy uses simple explanations, detailed drawings and study tips to make anatomy easier to understand.
Inside you will learn about:
The central and peripheral nervous systems
The brain and spinal cord
Cranial nerves
Spinal nerves
The brachial and lumbosacral plexus
Sensory, motor and autonomic pathways
How nerves connect with movement and everyday function
Perfect for horse owners, students and anyone wanting to improve their understanding of equine anatomy.

Equine Bodyworks
By Mary Sargeant MMCP
Whole Horse Bodywork & Equine Education
A horse-first approach to bodywork
Bodywork should never just be about what we want to achieve, it should also be about what the horse is telling us along the way.
My approach has developed over many years of working with horses and focuses on gentle hands-on bodywork, observation and allowing the horse to take an active part in the session.
Rather than working to a fixed routine, I pay attention to the individual horse in front of me, how they move, how they respond and when they may need me to change what I am doing.
The aim is simple, to create an environment where the horse can be listened to rather than worked on.
Alongside equine bodywork I also provide owner education, demonstrations, day courses, online learning and my Easy Equine Anatomy books and resources.

Welcome to Equine Bodyworks by Mary Sargeant MMCP.
My approach to bodywork has always been about looking at the whole horse rather than simply focusing on one area.
Every horse is an individual and every session is guided by the horse in front of me, paying attention to their behaviour, movement and responses along the way.
Listening to the horse is a huge part of how I work. Rather than following a fixed routine or deciding beforehand what a horse needs, I adapt what I am doing according to the information the horse gives me throughout the session.
Sometimes doing less tells us far more than doing more.
Alongside hands-on bodywork, education has become a big part of Equine Bodyworks.
Through courses, demonstrations, online learning, anatomy resources and my Easy Equine Anatomy books, I aim to make equine anatomy easier to understand and encourage owners to become curious about the whole horse — how everything connects and, most importantly, what their own horse may be telling them.
