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 muscles and more about which movements they provide, I would suggest a book about equine massage therapy titled - Equine Massage: A Practical Guide by Jean Pierre Hourdebaigt.
