"This is a very complete anatomy of a horse as far as skeleton and muscle structure. That is the main focus.
It only shows those two aspects of a horse from the side view primarily. However those views are very precise and scientific. All the bones and muscles are named. It is not useful if you want general guidance on how to draw a horse trotting, jumping, etc. This is strictly anatomical information."
