Anatomy in Clay® Learning System

09/10/2026

🔙 Throwback Thursday! We’re looking back at a special conversation with Temple Grandin about something that remains at the heart of the ANATOMY IN CLAY® Learning System today: the power of hands-on learning.

In this interview, Temple shared her perspective on why learning by seeing, touching and doing can help turn complex concepts into deeper understanding.

That philosophy continues with our EQUIKEN® Classic 1 and Major Muscles of the Equine in Clay On Demand course.

Ready to take hands-on learning to the next level? Experience 10+ hours of expert-led video instruction with equine anatomy educator Debranne Pattillo, combined with 20–30+ hours of hands-on building as you explore equine musculature layer by layer.

Watch our conversation with Temple Grandin, then discover what happens when you put learning directly into your hands.

THE MIND CANNOT FORGET WHAT THE HANDS HAVE LEARNED.™

A new school year means a new opportunity to make anatomy stick.

With the ANATOMY IN CLAY® Learning System, students don’t just identify structures—they build them, explore their relationships, and develop an understanding of the body from the inside out.

The MANIKEN® Student 2 model brings that hands-on experience directly into the classroom, giving students the opportunity to build human anatomy system by system with clay. As they construct muscles and other anatomical structures, students can see how the body is organized, understand how structures relate to one another, and turn anatomy from something they memorize into something they experience.

Start the year with learning students can see, touch, build, and remember.

🐴 10+ HOURS OF INSTRUCTION. 20–30+ HOURS OF HANDS-ON LEARNING.

The ANATOMY IN CLAY® Anatomy On Demand™ Course: Major Muscles of the Equine in Clay is more than a video course—it’s an immersive, hands-on anatomy experience.

You’ll receive 10+ hours of expert-led video instruction with equine anatomy educator Debranne Pattillo, guiding you through the major muscles of the equine using the EQUIKEN® Model.

But the real learning happens in the build.

Most participants spend 20–30+ hours constructing the musculature themselves—building muscle by muscle, layer by layer, and developing a deeper understanding of how equine anatomy works together.

✓ 10+ hours of expert-led instruction
✓ 20–30+ hours of hands-on building
✓ Self-paced learning
✓ Lifetime Course Access
✓ Certificate of completion

Because watching anatomy is one thing.

Building it changes the way you understand it.

⭐ Why Thousands of Educators Choose the MANIKEN® Student 2

Teachers consistently tell us the same thing: Students remember more when they build anatomy themselves.

The MANIKEN® Student 2 helps learners visualize anatomical relationships, understand how body systems connect, and develop confidence through active participation.

Instead of simply identifying muscles on a diagram, students create them. Instead of memorizing structures, they understand how everything fits together.

It's an experience that leads to better engagement, stronger retention, and a classroom that's energized by discovery.

🔙 Throwback Thursday - Some concepts are fundamental to understanding how the human body moves—and gravity is one of them.

In this throwback, Anatomy in Clay® Learning System founder Jon Zahourek shares insights from decades of exploration and teaching as he examines **gravity—one of the fundamental forces of the universe—and its relationship to the human body.**

It’s a look back at the ideas, curiosity, and hands-on exploration that have shaped the ANATOMY IN CLAY® Learning System for generations.

🐴 10+ HOURS OF EXPERT INSTRUCTION. 20–30+ HOURS OF HANDS-ON LEARNING.

The ANATOMY ON DEMAND™ Course: Major Muscles of the Equine In Clay is much more than 10 hours of video.

Led by equine anatomy educator Debranne Pattillo, founder of Equinology, this course includes 10+ hours of detailed instruction as you build the major musculature of the equine from deep to superficial on the EQUIKEN® Model.

Your first complete build can take approximately 20–30+ hours—time spent working hands-on with the anatomy, exploring muscular relationships, and developing a deeper understanding of equine movement and function.

In an in-person setting, an experience this comprehensive could span a week or more. Anatomy On Demand™ gives you the freedom to work through it at your own pace, revisit the instruction, and take the time you need to truly learn by building.

10+ hours of instruction. 20–30+ hours of building. A learning experience designed to last.
