==Introduction==  

The following section will concentrate on anatomy specific to the horse. For general skeletal anatomy, follow links in blue. In anatomical planes we use the term palmar for forelimb and plantar for hindlimb. These terms are all interchangable depending on whether you are referring to the fore or hindlimb.

===Pelvic Girdle and Hip===

===Pelvic Girdle and Hip===

The pelvic girdle is formed by two hip bones which are joined ventrally at the cartilagenous '''pelvic symphysis''' and articulate dorsally with the sacrum. The three components of each hip bone are the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Ilium|ilium]], [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Pubis|pubis]] and [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Ischium|ischium]]. The bone that articulates with the hip bones to form the hip joint is the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Femur|femur]].
