While we’re talking anatomy…
Did you know horses walk around on the tip of their middle finger? How rude! 
This picture overlays the bones of the front leg, giving you a great visual of how their skeleton is arranged.
It’s pretty mind-blowing to think their “knee” is actually more like our wrist, and what we call the “fetlock” is closer to the knuckle of a human finger.
Need a closer look at what’s going on inside? That’s when we bring out the x-ray machine!
