Equine Superficial Muscle Chart

Learning more about the muscular structure of your
horse is very important when applying Equine
Massage and other alternative therapies

This equine muscle chart is of the superficial
muscles of your horse. As I have mentioned,
labeling all of the muscles is beyond the scope of
this website.

If you would like to learn the names of the equine
muscles and more about which movements they
provide, I would suggest a good book about equine
massage therapy titled -

Equine Massage: A Practical Guide
by Jean Pierre Hourdebaigt.
