Anatomy: In need of help.

[Roshwen]

Yep. This has to do with anatomy, but it doesn't truly have to do with human anatomy. I'm in the process of creating some centaurs... and I already have the whole human torso part down, but I'm quite lacking knowledge when it comes to the horse part. Anyonw know of a good website where I could find info about horse anatomy and clear pictures of muscles/skeleton, etc?

It'd be really appreciated. :^^:

Great set of eighty anatomical plates from the Handbuch der Anatomie der Tiere für Künstler (Handbook of Animal Anatomy for Artists) by Wilhelm Ellenberger, Hermann Baum, and Hermann Dittrich (1898, 1911 -1925), showing the musculoskeletal systems of the horse, cow, dog, lion, goat and deer:
