Listen, Look and Feel Your Way..

I'm a international vet student. I'm hoping this tumblr will let me vent / keep me sane / help with procrastination for the next 4 years..

(Edit: Procrastination - Accomplished)
PS. I can sometimes be upto 2 weeks behind on really trendy news. I like to put everything into my queue..

This is for any of you who were interested in some of the info in my last post: here.

I’ve loved/lived around horses my entire life, and actually already knew some of this. I wasn’t quite sure what each bone was called, but I knew basically where they were located on each creature.

Quite a few of the bones are the same, such as the tibia, humerus, and femur. Others have different names for the same basic part, like the knee of a horse and the wrist of a human.

So basically, on a horse, the “hands and fingers” are from the knee, down. They’re just very….extended. Think of the entire hoof as being the fingernails.

On a pony, the tibia and fibula have to be shorter than on a real horse, but they’re still there, connecting to the hock, which is that “pointy” part on the hind legs.
