Adult horses typically have about 205 bones. Counts can vary slightly with breed and small sesamoid variations.

The hock includes the distal tibia, talus, calcaneus, central and small tarsal bones, and it articulates with the metatarsals (hind cannon region). Use Search → “tarsal” to see them.

The cannon bone is the large third metacarpal (forelimb) or third metatarsal (hindlimb). Search “metacarpal III” or “metatarsal III” to highlight it.

P3 (distal phalanx) is inside the hoof capsule at the end of the digit. Search “P3” or “coffin bone” to jump to its location.

Splint bones are the small second and fourth metacarpals/metatarsals that sit alongside the cannon bone. Search “metacarpal II/IV” or “splint bones.”

The stifle is the femorotibial–patellar joint (equivalent to the human knee). The hock is the tarsus—multiple small bones forming the hindlimb “ankle.”

The front “knee” is the carpus, a complex of small carpal bones between the radius and the metacarpals.
