Functional Anatomy 

Gain insight into your horse’s anatomy in an easy-to-follow, highly visual way. See anatomy presented from different perspectives to help you grasp how it influences posture and movement, and how YOU can begin to create change.

Spinal Alignment

Learn in-hand patterns and exercises designed to strengthen and activate weak or underused muscles, while relaxing and lengthening overactive and restricted muscles to support healthy movement, balance, and spinal alignment.

Case Studies

Over the years, Vicke has retrained many complex cases. In this class, you'll watch her work with some of these horses, introduce the patterns to horses experiencing them for the first time, and explore case studies of previous horses.

And it's not just for problem horses... 

While this Masterclass was shaped by her work with complex movement dysfunction and kissing spine horses, the principles are relevant to any horse. Even horses with no real problems and successfully competing, have benefited from incorporating these principles into their training, helping improve the clarity and purity of the gaits, the flow of energy through the body, and overall balance, suppleness, and quality of movement.

What people are saying

Real experiences from owners, riders, and professionals putting these principles into practice.

“I love the Posture and Movement training course - Highly recommend! Vicke does an outstanding job explaining everything. The graphics are beautiful and easy to understand in the anatomy section - don’t skip it!”

My review just can’t be in few words. When I first met Vicke, I was at the point where I was seriously considering selling my horse. Even thinking those thoughts filled me with guilt because I've always believed that when you bring an animal into your life, they are family for life. Kyon and I are now in Vicke's course, and the transformation has been incredible. It hasn't been an easy journey, but Vicke's deep understanding of equine movement and physiology, combined with her experience, intuition, and practical guidance, gave us the tools we needed to help both my horse and me. Today, I am absolutely thrilled with the progress we've made. We are finally moving forward together, and I have hope and confidence again. If you feel stuck or are at a breaking point with your horse, don't hesitate to reach out to Vicke and join her course. I am beyond grateful for everything she has done to help us get unstuck. She is truly amazing, and I can't recommend her enough! I am beyond grateful to her. Thank you Vicke!!

“For anyone who wants a deeper understanding of correct movement and healthy biomechanics of their horse, this course will change not only the way you see your horse’s movement, but more importantly, how you ask your horse to move. It is offered in short, understandable segments for both humans and their horse. My gelding with kissing spine has morphed from a pasture puff in pain to a happy, healthy, athletic trail horse by consistently using these techniques over time simply as his warm-up. He is now choosing correct movement because it feels good to him. "

“ I've had the privilege of learning from Vicke McCall for the past few years, and working through her course has taken that learning to an entirely new level. What impresses me most is the depth of the content. Vicke doesn't just demonstrate techniques—she teaches you how to think, observe, and truly understand the why behind what you're seeing and feeling. Each lesson builds on the last, deepening both your knowledge and your confidence. She has a remarkable gift for making complex concepts easy to understand without oversimplifying them. This Master Class is a must-have for anyone who cares for horses and wants to better understand how they move and communicate through their bodies.”
