Solera Bravo App
Interesting and helpful new App that is free and comes in both English and Spanish versions.
Leonardo da Vinci asserted that Nature always demanded the best result with the least effort. From this prinicple he drew the golden proportions postulating that the objects, trees and animals that carry these proportions give a greater aesthetic pleasure to the human eye and perform most effectively.
Using Leonardo’s proportions, The Solera Bravo App is a tool that facilitates the morphological analysis of saddle horses. By imposing a graph of the proportions of the Golden section over the image of the horse comparisons become clear.
With a single glance you can evaluate the overall balance of the horse from front to back. If the depth of the thorax and the line of the back are correct, if the cross and the rump are at the same height and well positioned. The App measures the neck - long or short, if its extremities have the correct insertion or on the contrary if they are tucked in or planted.
The App is compatible with both Apple and Android. Search Solera Bravo on your phone or desktop.
