Horses Inside Out

Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if you had x-ray vision? If so, then have a look at these guys:

The name of this unique educational service is "Horses Inside Out". Its purpose is to show riders, trainers and therapists how the musculo-skeletal system works. Understanding the anatomy, biomechanics and physiology of the horse enables them to improve performance and to maintain top physiological condition. Also optimum muscular health is essential to reduce the risk of injury. For a better understanding, the horses’ bones, tendons and ligaments, or the digestion system are painted onto the animal's body. While observing different movements, dressage and jumping for example, the audience gets to understand how the skeleton and the muscles are linked and how they work together. Even the  rider is wearing
a skeleton body suit, so that spectators can see clearly the interaction between horse and rider. This knowledge allows riders and carers to ride and train their horses efficiently while at the same time peventing injuries.
