B-Card Protocol: Mid-Back Measurement and Rock Card Alignement

The B-Card is the pivotal component for establishing the horse's crucial mid-back measurement and correctly positioning the Rock Cards.

Step 1: Locating the Mid-Back Reference Point

  • Identify the 9-12 thoracic vertebra (T). This is typically located where the low spot of the horse is in the back.
  • Place the B card in the mid section or low spot of the back .

Step 2: Measuring and Tracing the B-Card Profile

  • Gently contour the pliable B-Card material to match the exact shape and angle of the horse's back at this point.
  • Using a pencil or marker, trace the horse's back profile onto the B-Card.
  • Crucial Action: The B-Card measurement is used as a reference point for longitudinal alignment. You will draw a horizontal line (the Rock Card Measurement Line) across the B-Card profile to define the precise point where the Rock Card tracing should begin. This ensures consistency and accurate placement of the Rock Card for subsequent steps.

Step 3: Aligning the Rock Card using the B-Card

  • With the B-Card profile complete and the Rock Card Measurement Line established, the Rock Card is then placed along the horse's back, starting at the established B-Card location.
  • The goal is to align the Rock Card so that its starting point matches the B-Card's measurement line, ensuring the rock profile is measured from the correct anatomical starting point forward or backward.
