The definition of the horse's anatomy

I here represent the anatomy of the horse from the rear to also see the reflection of the muscles and the nerves of the buttocks with their extensions and contractions, particularly those marked on the buttocks with A and B. These are some which extend and bend according to the action of walking, and they are the most variable of all. Particularly, I have added the feet and legs, and I believe that to be sufficient for the horse's anatomy.

The horse seen from the rear

I present here the horse's anatomy from the rear so that one can see the muscles and reflections of the buttocks and the nerves of the hocks with their extensions and contractions, particularly those that I have marked on the buttocks with A and B - those which extend and bend following the action of walking, and are the most changeable of all. I have also added the feet and legs separately, and I think that is sufficient for the horse's anatomy.

The uncovered horse seen from behind

I show here the horse uncovered from behind, so that one can see the muscles and the bending of the legs and the tendons of the heels with their drawings and extensions. I have identified those that I have marked A and B, those that extend and bend towards the action of moving, and also those whose movement is altered from all the others that are generally described here.

The extended horse seen from behind

I show here the extended horse from behind so that one can clearly see the movements or exercises of the back, and from there how the extensions and contractions can be seen. However, the letters A and B indicate those which stretch and bend most according to the manner of walking, and are the most distinct from all the others.
