Ignoring the disorientation and consequent stumbling of a horse who had just seconds before slammed his head against a metal door, horse industry theorists focus on the injury itself. Barbaro broke his right hind leg in more than 20 places: [ 4 ] a broken cannon bone above the pastern, a broken sesamoid bone behind the fetlock, and a broken ...
Sesamoid bones: Bones embedded within a tendon. The horse's proximal digital sesamoids are simply called the "sesamoid bones" by horsemen, his distal digital sesamoid is referred to as the navicular bone. Ligaments and tendons hold the skeletal system together. Ligaments hold bones to bones and tendons hold bones to muscles.
Medical problems that are more common in horses with long, sloping pasterns include: Bowed tendon; Sesamoiditis; A fracture of the sesamoid bones found at the back of the fetlock, should the joint hyperextend to the point where it touches the ground. This is especially likely if the horse is tired, such as at the end of a race.
In March 1966, Kelso suffered a hairline fracture of the inside sesamoid of his right hind foot. Hanford immediately retired him at age nine. Hanford immediately retired him at age nine. Kelso left the track as racing's all-time leading money winner with lifetime earnings of $1,977,896.

In between are the humerus (arm), radius (forearm), elbow joint, ulna (elbow), carpus (knee) bones and joint, large metacarpal (cannon), small metacarpal (splint), sesamoid, fetlock joint, first phalanx (long pastern), pastern joint, second phalanx ...
Points of a horse. Equine anatomy encompasses the gross and microscopic anatomy of horses, ponies and other equids, including donkeys, mules and zebras.While all anatomical features of equids are described in the same terms as for other animals by the International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature in the book Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria, there are many horse-specific ...
