	Equine forelimb anatomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When referring to equine anatomy, over time horse enthusiasts have often developed terminology for particular features that differs from the correct veterinary terminology.
		In the standing horse, the forelimbs together support approximately 60% of the weight of the horse, and this pattern is carried over to locomotion, where the forelimb props the weight of the horse, while forward momentum is generated by the hind limbs (Merkens et al., 1993; Merkens and Schamhardt, 1994).
		The equine forelimb is the front, or thoracic limb of the horse.

	Talk:Horse - Wikpedia
		OK - I'm starting to add stuff to the Equine forelimb anatomy page, but it's going to be quite a long process.
		Also I have extensive notes on many other subjects, from evolution, breed development and domestication, to tack and equipment, and methods of exercise for the competition horse.
		Should I start this as a separate article or include it under Horse?

	Oricom Technologies Animal Anatomy
		The anatomy of cats and dogs is somewhat inbetween the shrew and the horse.
		Clearly, the long lower leg sections, the leverage afforded by the powerful tendons, the low degree of weight in the legs, and the huge muscles located in the upper legs and torso all contribute to the speed and power of the horse.
		Because the upper leg sections are relatively short, the major muscle groups (and weight) are all located close in to the body, improving the angular acceleration of the legs for speed, while the elongation of the lower leg segments greatly increases the stride.

		In the ancient civilizations the horse was used primarily as a harness animal for almost 1,000 years, from the early second millennium BC to the early first millennium BC Equine draft was preceded by and modeled after a draft system developed for oxen, which was not particularly well-adapted to equine anatomy.
		Horse and Rider: No Mean Feat The fact that the early horse was a relatively small animal, probably not exceeding 12 hands in height, has long been put forth as a reason for the late development of horseback riding in the Near East.
		The importance of the horse to the Scythians is evidenced by the many artifacts with a horse motif recovered from their burial mounds.

	Markets against horse mackerel
		Horse mackerel is not an exotic product; it has to be produced in volumes to make a small margin of profit.
		The horse mackerel fishery has a potential annual yield of over half a million tons but it is still underutilized despite progress made by four companies active in this sector.
		On the other hand, a horse mackerel filleting machine has been developed and, provided the dark layer of fatty flesh can be removed effectively, a tastier commodity can result.

	Spine Anatomy
		The spinal cord ends at L1-2 level with a bundle of nerve fibers extending down and called the cauda equinae or "horse's tail." the nerve roots in the lumbar region provide sensation to the buttocks, legs and feet.
		The cervical spine is comprised of seven vertebrae.
		The five lumbar vertebrae-- L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 -- are the largest movable segments of the human spine.

	Phar Lap
		So fond of the horse were the people of Australia and New Zealand that following his death, his heart was donated to the Institute of Anatomy in Canberra and his skeleton to the New Zealand National Museum in Wellington.
		From there, the horse was sent to a private ranch near Menlo Park, California while his owner negotiated with racetrack officials for special race appearances.
		Much speculation ensued, and when an autopsy revealed that the horse's stomach and intestines were inflamed, many believed the horse had been deliberately poisoned.

		Farriers study the anatomy and physiology of the horse from the knee down and work closely with veterinarians to prevent injuries that could make a horse go lame.
		Horses need to have their shoes removed, their hooves cleaned and trimmed, then have their shoes reset or replaced about every six weeks, he said.
		As Miller trimmed the hooves of a 4-year-old paint horse Harris and his daughter, Diedra, are training for barrel racing, the Harris’ four dogs lingered close by, poised to snatch the hoof trimmings for a prized rawhide-type snack.
