DR DEB BENNETT, Ph D.
Five Day EQUINE ANATOMY CLASS
Wed 2nd – Sun 6th April 2008
Massey UNIVERSITY, palmerston north,
NZ
Deb Bennett is a 1984 graduate
of the University of Kansas, and until 1992 was on the
staff of the Smithsonian Institution. Her degree is
in Vertebrate Paleontology, which emphasizes the anatomy
and biomechanics of animals. Dr. Bennett is known as
an authority on the classification, evolution, anatomy,
and biomechanics of fossil and living horses. Her research
interests also include the history of domestication
and world bloodlines and breeds. She teaches unique
anatomy short-courses and anatomy-based horsemanship
clinics designed primarily for owners, trainers, breeders,
veterinary students, dentists and horse-shoers.
All courses consist of a lecture-concept
component and the actual full body dissection. They
include the following core content: basic anatomical
parts; cell and tissue state and function; development
and integration of body systems; bone and muscle physiology;
biomechanical principles and the application of these
to common problems and situations in riding, training,
para-veterinary care; injuries and lameness; equine
dentistry and horse-shoeing.
Dr Debs courses emphasise the musculo-skeletal
system, but an overview of the circulatory, digestive,
nervous, endocrine and energy systems form a regular
part of every course. Basic concepts in embryological
development are also covered.
Since we are most interested in anatomy study as an
aid to helping the living animal, the teaching approach
is systems study, rather than surgical anatomy.
WILL ANATOMY STUDY HELP
MY CAREER IN THE HORSE INDUSTRY??
Yes, Dr Deb’s anatomy classes
are a great opportunity – absolutely unique and
available nowhere else. There is a practical emphasis
throughout. Anatomical parts and biomechanical concepts
are taught in the context of real life therapy situations.
