Equine Musculature Chart

Connect Equine Anatomy to Movement and Function

Learning muscle names is only part of understanding equine anatomy. Students also need to recognize where muscles are located and how they relate to surrounding structures and movement. The Equine Musculature Chart supports that connection by providing a visual reference for studying the major muscles of the horse. It can be used alongside anatomical models, dissections, lectures, and lab instruction to reinforce identification and anatomical relationships. As students progress, this foundation supports more advanced study of equine locomotion, lameness, rehabilitation, physical examination, and musculoskeletal disorders. The chart can remain accessible in the classroom or lab for quick reference and anatomy review.
