HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                DID YOU KNOW THAT?

If a horse didn’t have bones there would be no structure to the body. Bones hold everything together and keep it from falling over every time it takes a step. If there were only muscles it would fall over because there is no structure. But if it only had bones it maybe could stand but it would be to skinny to ride because there would only be bones. If a horse only had muscles there would be no structure so the horse would flop over muscles the muscles wouldn’t be able to build. Muscles are for making a horse strong by building muscles they have to form around the bone and together the bone and muscle makes a sturdy but strong body.

Probably the most important bone is the horse is the spine. it holds your saddle in place, and the rib cage forms the side. All the mussels are really important because they make the horse strong. They all have to work together to function properly.

The hoof may just be the most important thing in a horse’s body. If the hoof isn’t form right the horse will have a hard time standing without making pain. 95% of the average horse is born correct and the other 5% could have bad feet when born.
