IT’S a lecture that’s definitely not thought up on the hoof.

For therapist Gillian Higgins goes to great lengths to ensure her audience gets the most out of her horse-related talks.

This even extends to painting the skeleton and musculature systems onto her equine models, all to aid better understanding.

Gillian says the aim of the demonstration is to educate people on how a horse works, which in turn helps improve performance and reduce injury.

The £15 lecture is taking place at Sparsholt College from 10.30am on March 25.

Profits will go to Hampshire Air Ambulance.
