Professional public speaker, lecturer Jean Luc Cornille is available worldwide for events/seminars.

Jean Luc Cornille has a lifetime of experiences with horses to share in an engaging lecture style.  From his teen years exercising race horses, his classical education in the Cadre Noir de Saumur, and studies with many of Europe’s great trainers in both dressage and jumping, Jean Luc has a wealth of anecdotes that have fascinated, educated, and entertained his many students around the globe.  As he competed at international level events in 3-day eventing, show-jumping and dressage, and coached others to the Olympic levels, he sought answers to the difficult questions that arose in training, soundness and performance.  His quest lead him to the science of biomechanics of the horse, and he excels at “translating” the most updated scientific knowledge into usefull information for the equestrian.  He speaks of horses with both authority and sensitivity, and always, his passion for the well-being of the horse.

Symposia / Lectures

Compose your own Symposium.

Select three of the topics listed below and add a question/ answer period.

Forward movement

From ground contact of one hind leg to forward swing of the foreleg, this presentation explains how forward movement is created through the horse’s body. The thrust generated by the hind legs is converted through the spine into horizontal forces (forward motion), and vertical forces (resistance to gravity and therefore, balance control).

The second part of the discussion explains how the rider’s vertebral column can influence and orchestrate the biomechanical properties of the horse’s vertebral column.

Live presentation. Requirements: A horse and a relatively large black or white board. (2hours)

Transversal rotation

Do you know that lateral bending of the horse vertebral column never happens alone? Rather, lateral bending is always coupled with a movement of transversal rotation.

Do you know that such rotation can be proper, enhancing the horse gaits and performances? The rotation can also be inverted, altering the horse’s ability to perform. 

Do you know that at the walk and the trot there are two lateral bendings and therefore transversal rotations per stride? Hence, transversal rotations are intricate components of the horse’s gaits and performances

Would you like to know how transversal rotations work?

Power Point presentation. (2hours)

Lowering of the neck

This presentation addresses:

- The work of the upper neck muscles.

- The work of the nuchal ligament.

- Muscular effects on the back.

- The Instant Center of Rotation.

Power point presentation (2hours)

Hyper-flexion of the upper neck,

A failure of Olympic dimension.

- Stresses on the nuchal ligament.

- The loading effect on the forelegs.

- The study of pain via facial expression

- State and purpose of the petition against the practice in dressage as well as in jumping.

Work in Hand

- Video Presentation, “One Hand on his Shoulders” (1Hour)

- The education from day one. During this presentation you witness the introduction and education of “Chazot” Thoroughbred, 17.3 Hands, loaded by memories on the race track ad very high spirit. (2Hours)

- The work in hand in the horse’s reeducation. (1 Hour)

Other topics to be added soon.
