The equine presents itself as an important kinesiotherapeutic tool, this occurs because when walking, it carries out tridimensional movements that cause coordinated and synchronized muscle actions in the rider, what can justify its therapeutic application in disabled human persons. It was established that the frontal plan up and down movements performed by the equine has impact on the rider’s pelvis in movements of lateral inclination. The back and forth movements in sagittal plan generate ante and retroversion movements. On the other hand, the right and left movements in transverse plan result in pelvic rotations. Such movements are similarly executed by the human being pelvis, this way, the rider physically prevented from walking, passively experiences while riding, the same amount of pelvis displacement and rotation during the biped march. Due to the importance of this movement quality, this work has as objective analyze the equine conformation of the equine center of the Rehabilitation and Readaptation center Dr. Henrique Santillo (CRER). It is a transverse study, which used 180 cm tape measure, hipometer, reflexive markers, cameras and kinematical analysis software Kinovea, to evaluate the linear and angular parameters, together with five zootechnical indexes. Eight half-breed equines, aged between 3 to 17 years, were evaluated, they were destinated exclusively to the equine therapy practice. The statistical analysis was descriptive and analytic. The corporeal index average was 0, 85, the relation between the back height and the substernal fail height was 1, the conformation index 2, 1125, indicating the suitable animals for march and saddle. In the actual study, the animals presented smaller neck and head scapular length in relation to other equine conformation studies. The thoracic cavity depth determines cardiopulmonary performance and provide to the equine therapy, long working hours. On the CRER equines, the average obtained was high. On the forearm, knee and shank regions, it is ideal to be hypertrophied, to protect from possible injuries, reflex of good management practices and then, it was observed in the animals. There should be correspondence between the angles of the thoracic, or accommodation members and the pelvic or propulsive ones, and some angles of this study had correspondence, as the humerus-radius and the coxofemoral and in relation to the solo phalanges. As a conclusion, The CRER equines kept proportionality regarding to some variables as the thorax perimeter, the head length and width and the scapula angulation and the solo phalanges. The zootechnical indexes determine that the animals are suitable for the equine therapy practice. Regarding to the other parameters, they didn’t obtain proportionality, which can interfere in the pace progress, this justifies the using of specific tools as the ones used in this study for the adequate choice of equines for equine therapy and the need for more studies in other centers for comparison.
