- Join Yogi Sharp (The Equine Documentalist) and Dr Kevin Haussler, DVM, DC, PhD, in a live webinar as they break down what is meant when we use the term 'compensations.' Using research and practical frameworks, they'll explore how horses adapt to pain, weakness, instability, and restriction, and how those short-term survival strategies can evolve into long-term performance and soundness problems. They'll look at the difference between adaptive and maladaptive compensations, how asymmetry develops, and why limb, spine, and nervous system function are inseparable. The session connects lameness, back pain, neurological control, posture, laterality, and biomechanics into one system, giving you a clearer way to assess, interpret, and manage compensatory patterns in real horses, not just textbook cases.
