An important part of learning equine massage therapy is understanding the anatomy and physiology of your horse. Especially the structure of your horse's muscular system and skeletal system.

I drew these equine muscle charts and equine skeletal chart myself to avoid breaking any copyright laws. They will give you an idea of what the muscular structure and skeletal structure of the horse looks like. Labeling all of the bones and muscles is beyond the scope of this website.

Understanding how the horse "works" is more important than knowing all of the names of the muscles and bones. However, I do think it is a good thing to know the names of some of the larger muscles as well as the names of the bones and joints. If you wish to learn this information, I urge you to purchase a good book about equine anatomy and physiology.





The anatomy charts that I currently have available are:

• Equine Superficial Muscle Chart

• Equine Skeletal Chart
