Knowing the parts of the horse will allow you to better understand a horse’s conformation, know more about what a riding instructor is referring to when describing a part of a horse’s body, or find and describe the location of an injury. It will also make you a more well rounded horse person in that knowing anatomy can lead you to better understand, and hopefully improve, the health and movement of our horses.

This course is an introduction to learning the names of some well known and frequently used horse parts. It covers some parts that humans and horses have in common, and introduces parts of the head, body, and hoof that may be new to you.

Play the horsemanship learning games related to this course that reinforce what you just learned.
