    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_(horse)

    The Spinalis Dorsi originates on the fourth cervical vertebra and inserts beneath the thoracic section of the Trapezius. The Longissimus dorsi originates from the last four cervical vertebrae, and courses along the spine, inserting eventually into the ilium and sacrum. This muscle contracts the spine and also raises and supports the head and ...

    Latissimus dorsi: originates at the supraspinous ligament & thoracolumbar fascia, inserts in the humerus. Antagonist to brachiocephalicus. Supports the back, helps to pull the body of the horse forward when a limb is extended and placed on the ground, also helps to flex the scapulohumeral joint.

  4. Longissimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longissimus

    The longissimus thoracis et lumborum is the intermediate and largest of the continuations of the erector spinae.. In the lumbar region (longissimus lumborum), where it is as yet blended with the iliocostalis, some of its fibers are attached to the whole length of the posterior surfaces of the transverse processes and the accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae, and to the anterior layer of ...

  5. Stay apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_apparatus

    A draft horse sleeping while standing up. The stay apparatus is an arrangement of muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together so that an animal can remain standing with virtually no muscular effort. [1] It is best known as the mechanism by which horses can enter a light sleep while still standing up. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinalis

    Spinalis dorsi, the medial continuation of the sacrospinalis, is scarcely separable as a distinct muscle.It is situated at the medial side of the longissimus dorsi, and is intimately blended with it; it arises by three or four tendons from the spinous processes of the first two lumbar and the last two thoracic vertebrae: these, uniting, form a small muscle which is inserted by separate tendons ...

  7. Iliocostalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliocostalis

    Iliocostalis muscle has a common origin from the iliac crest, the sacrum, the thoracolumbar fascia, and the spinous processes of the vertebrae from T11 to L5. [1]Iliocostalis cervicis (cervicalis ascendens) arises from the angles of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs, and is inserted into the posterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae.

  8. Limbs of the horse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbs_of_the_horse

    The limbs of the horse are structures made of dozens of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support the weight of the equine body. They include two apparatuses: the suspensory apparatus, which carries much of the weight, prevents overextension of the joint and absorbs shock, and the stay apparatus , which locks major joints in ...

  9. Epaxial and hypaxial muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaxial_and_hypaxial_muscles

    The hypaxial muscles are located on the ventral side of the body, often below the horizontal septum in many species (primarily fish and amphibians). In all species, the hypaxial muscles are innervated by the ventral ramus (branch) of the spinal nerves, while the epaxial muscles are innervated by the dorsal ramus.
