===Girdle Muscles====

The pelvic girdle musculature ('''sublumbar muscle''') is made up of a number of distinct muscle groups. These arise from the lumbar vertebrae and insert on the pelvis or femur. These muscles function in dorsiflexion and ventriflexion of the spine.  They also provide stabilisation to the vertebral column and pelvis.

====Rump Muscles====

The rump muscles are also made up of a number of different muscle groups and have considerably more groups than the girdle muscles. They extend between the ilium and the thigh. These muscles are particularly large in the horse, providing the power for forward locomotion.
