Description Part 2, the bones. When I first started learning about animal anatomy a couple years go, I was really surprised with how similar us mammals are with each other. Sooooo I hope this helps out someone, I tell most beginning artists a good place to start, is with learning how to convey form and have a good understand the superficial muscle groups. It helped me out a ton

I hope you dig it

i'm a huge brony
and i think this will help me when i draw ponies
i also like your human anatomy drawings
i feel like i don't even want to draw people anymore until i've memorized all the muscles

Personally your horse anatomy sheets are rather helpful for me to illustrate my work as a (bilingual French) farrier. They also are really good ref sheets for when I have a little doubt about anything other than the legs. So thumbs up !

Thank you so much! I find anatomical references incredibly useful; knowing the form is so useful for being able to draw and pose things correctly.
It's true: even giraffes have the same number of neck bones as humans.

your are right with the similar to other mammals, its just how we are standing/position other than that (along with other stuff) we do pretty much have the same bones

This will help alot. I have the hardest time drawing horses. I always start with bones and continue up to understand how the creature should be drawn but it just never worked for a horse. Very well drawn. Good Job and it is Very Well Done.
