Dissection At Mission Farrier School



These are pictures of me, in action. I am the fat, middle aged woman. The picture is of our class dissecting horse legs. We identified tendons, ligaments, joints, bones, etc. It was amazing to get to see first hand, what we had been studying in the books and notes. Nothing makes it more real than dissecting an equine leg from the carpals (what we call the knee) to the coffin bone. Did you know that the horse's anatomy from the "knee" to the last bone in the hoof (coffin bone-or P-3), is equivalent to the human hand/foot?
