      <image:caption>● The horse’s body divides into thirds: shoulder (40.88 cm), barrel (72.49 cm), hindquarters (59.00 cm). ● The barrel dominates proportionally, and the hindquarters are slightly shorter. ● Height (withers to ground): 150.88 cm | Length (shoulder to buttock): 173.22 cm → rectangular build. ● Slight downhill slope (croup higher than withers).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Case Study: Navigating Sensitivity and Connection Through Gentle Myotherapy - Proportional Analysis (Head-to-body measurements, limb ratios, body length)</image:title>
      <image:caption>● Head: 50.98 cm ● Hock to ground: 39.05 cm (slightly short) ● Scapula to haunch: 37.33 cm (shorter than ideal) ● Body length (2.5 × head = 127.45 cm) → Actual: 107.47 cm</image:caption>
