-These muscles are responsible for joining the forelimb to the trunk, forming a synsarcosis rather than a conventional joint. Collectively, they act to transfer the weight of the body to the forelimbs, as well as to stabilize the scapula.

-:'''Body''': Two parts, cervical and thoracic, separated by aponeurosis
+</b></big>
-:'''Action''': Raises the scapula against the trunk and swings cranially to advance the limb
-'''''Brachiocephalic m.''''':
-:'''Innervation''': Accessory n.
-:Two parts separated by the clavicle, where it exists
-:'''Origin''': Mastoid process of temporal bone, nuchal crest, wing of atlas and the transverse processes of the 2nd-4th cervical vertebrae
-:'''Insertion''': Deltoid tuberosity and crest of the humerus
-:'''Action''': Advances the limb and extends the shoulder joint when limb is in motion. Draws the head and neck ventrally when the limb is fixed
-'''''Latissimus dorsi''''':
+==References==
-:'''Innervation''': local branch of brachial plexus

-:'''Origin''': Thoracolumbar fascia
+<br />
-:'''Insertion''': Teres tuberosity of the humerus
+<br />
-:'''Action''': Antagonist to the brachiocephalic m. It retracts the free limb and flexes shoulder joint. It also draws the trunk forward over the fixed limb.
-'''''Pectoral mm.''''':
-:'''Innervation''': brachial plexus
-:Two superficial parts, cranial and caudal
-:'''Origin''': Cranial sternum
-:'''Insertion''':
-::Cranial ('''descending''') - The crest of the humerus, distal to the deltoid tuberosity
-::Caudal ('''transverse''') - Covers the elbow joint to insert on the medial fascia of the forearm
-:'''Action''': Adducts the forelimb, assist in protraction and retraction
-'''''Serratis ventralis''''':
+[[Category:Horse Anatomy]]
-:'''Innervation''': branch of brachial plexus
-:'''Origin''': C4 to 10th rib
-:'''Insertion''': Medial scapula and scapular cartilage
-:'''Action''': Supports the weight of the trunk. It is reinforced by strong fascia. The cervical portion can retract the limb and the caudal portion can advance the limb.
-'''''Rhomboids''''':
+{{Template:Learning
-:'''Innervation''': brachial plexus, although in some species, dorsal spinal nerves can innervate
