The way the horse's pastern joints and tendons don't shatter during grueling gallops is amazing, while those tiny structure (by comparison to the horse's size and weight) are bearing the weight and concussion during the galloping gait, which is massive

WE NEED MORE LECTURES, LIKE JOINTS TENDONS. I ACTUALLY USE THESE VIDEOS WHEN I STUDY EQUINE SCIENCE. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Horse Leg explanation is really nice: A HORSE (Equus caballus) can gallop at a speed of up to 30 miles per hour (50 km/h). Although this involves considerable mechanical work, relatively little energy is spent. How is this possible? The secret is in the horse’s legs. Consider what occurs when a horse gallops. Elastic muscle-tendon units absorb energy when the leg steps onto the ground, and much like a spring, they return it, propelling the horse forward. Furthermore, at a gallop the horse’s legs vibrate at high frequencies that could injure its tendons. However, the muscles in the legs act as dampers. Researchers call this structure a “highly specialized muscle-tendon design” that provides both agility and strength. Engineers are trying to imitate the design of the horse’s legs for use in four-legged robots. However, according to the Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the complexity of this design cannot be easily duplicated with current materials and engineering knowledge. What do you think? Did the structure of the horse’s legs come about by evolution? Or was it designed?

Please could you share reasons to why the skeleton is the way it is, I like your videos though.

I meant why the horse had developed like that ie. i know that horses had three digits which became lost as they weren't needed etc. I watched this to form part of a piece of coursework I had at the time at college and I was asked why the horses adaptations had caused better chances of survival or something like that.

she said metacarpal the second time, so she was just mistaken. The first time she says phalanx

Wouldn't the chestnut be the missing bone. And the navicular bone also be one of the missing bones

@14cheetah14 11 жыл бұрын

Two questions: 1) Is the navicular bone sort of like a Kneecap? 2) If I go running through a field at speed, I am highly likely to sprain my ankle. Hence, I have always wondered how a Horse with such huge upper body mass, relatively smaller leg bones and a much smaller "foot" can manage this task without also injuring its Pasterns as I do my ankle? Thanks Doctor.

Wile, I have also wondered the same often, it's amazing all these small delicate looking bones joined together can support a large upper body.

@badcat1002 11 жыл бұрын

the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd last bones you mentioned you called them metacarapals.. that is incorrect... they are p1 Phalanx 1 (long pastern, p2 Phalanx 2 (short pastern) and p3 (coffin)
