A good link to an equine skeleton drawing
We are no longer building saddle trees. We have two saddle fit videos available on our westernsaddlefit.com website. Western Saddle Fit - The Basics, aimed at riders, is available either on DVD or streaming on Vimeo while the six hour series Well Beyond the Basics, aimed more for professionals but understandable by anyone, is available by streaming on Vimeo. (We left this website up because we have had many requests to keep the information available.)
A while back I had an e-mail from Wendy Amaral, a board certified medical illustrator who has done some good drawings of equine anatomy. We corresponded a bit and I was able to send her pictures of different views of some of the bones we have in our basement. She used them when she was drawing her chart of the Equine Skeleton. She had previously done drawings of the Superficial Musculature and the Deep Musculature of the horse. If you go to her Portfolio Page, you can see links to others she has done of carpal and hock joints. Today I just noticed that she now has posters for sale as well. No, we aren't getting a kickback for mentioning this. It is just kinda neat that we can meet someone in the world of the internet, maybe help them a little, and then pass on the results of their work to others who may appreciate it too. So, for those who also find anatomy fascinating, here are more links to check out!
