Here you will find everything you need to study the subject, with comprehensive articles and a whole anatomy book online! Lots of videos collected together in the YouTube playlists and of course the Crash Course at the end of this article. There are games to test your knowledge… Enjoy!

📺 YouTube playlist: Equine Anatomy, Physiology, & Biomechanics - another playlist

📺 Inside Nature's giants: Racehorse - BBC documentary (not for the faint hearted, some good stuff to see in the dissection here, the strength of tendons, the inflation of the lungs, the size of the digestive system, but ignore their theories about how the foot works around the 24m mark...)

🎓 Equinology EQ50 - online equine anatomy course - highly recommended
📚 Anatomy of Equine Bodywork - The Equinology Approach, Debranne Pattillo - Excellent resource, there is an App which allows you to test your knowledge too.

(Sometimes these trick you because they use a different terminology to what you might have learnt - and sometimes I disagree with the answers, but it's all part of the challenge!)

💡 Too easy?
✏ Try drawing a horse's skeleton. This is funny if you have no idea about horse anatomy, so take the challenge and - without cheating - draw a horse skeleton to get your base line and then look up what it should look like...
🧠 It's obviously easier if you start by copying a diagram, make it more difficult - try to draw from memory...
💪 The advanced version is to then draw where all the muscles attach.
