Parts of the Horse

The parts of the horse aren’t too hard to learn, it just takes a little time. If you hang around a barn long enough, you’ll pick up the language. Horse lovers are known to speak in “horse.” “He’s got a locked stifle” or “She’s cut her gaskin” can sound like a foreign language, if you don’t know what those parts of the horse are. When calling a veterinarian for an injured horse, it’s very important to know the horses anatomy to tell the veterinarian exactly where the horse is injured. If you print two of these pages, and white out the words on one, you can practice the parts of the horse with a friend. You can make it a contest and see who can remember the most!

Just remember Just remember to have fun! to have fun!
