Horse Anatomy 101


Learning the key parts of a horse’s anatomy is an important part of horsemanship. We asked Kestrel to be our model so you can learn more about what a horse’s body parts are called and how they help the horse.

There’s a lot to learn, but you don’t have to do it all at once. We’ve divided this horse anatomy lesson into three sections so you can tackle one set of horse body parts at a time. Once you’re done studying a level, you can test yourself with our quizzes. When you get a perfect score, move on to the next level!
