Equine Skeletal System  As you admire a horse, you take in his
physique, his muscle tone, and the sheen of his coat. But
underlying these essential outer parts is the structure that
forms the scaffold to which all soft tissues attach: the equine
skeleton.   The skeletal system is made of many interconnected
tissues: bone, cartilage, tendons, and  ligaments. The length of
the bones and the angles at which they come together dictate a
horse’s conformation, way of going, stride length, and potential
power as an athlete.  This free report provides a detailed
overview and illustrations of the skeletal system of the horse.
