OUTLINE, 

 Showing different parts of the horses, also the seat of diseases. 



A to B, the back ; B to C, the loins ; C to D, the croup ; C to E, the quar- 

 ter ; Eto F, the thigh ; G, the stifle-joint ; G to H, all that below the stifle; C 

 to H, taking in the thigh, stifle, and all that below it, is sometimes called the 

 whole quarter ; I, the bone at the point of the hock ; J, the shoulder-blade 

 bone ; K, the point of the shoulder ; K to L, the arm ; L to M, the fore-arm ; 

 N, the elbow-bone. 



1, the place of the side, or lateral cartilages ; when they ossify they lose 

 their springy feel, and become hard as granite; they are then called side-bones ; 

 by some, ringbones ; 2, the seat of ringbone in front, just above the coronet, 

 seen in the fore as often as the hind pasterns ; 3, the place enlarged, from being 

 tied round the pasterns, close on the seat of ringbone ; 4, the place often seen 

 ossified on the outside of the pastern ; 5, the place often seen ossified on the 

 inside of the pastern ; 6 the place that enlarges from sprain of the back sin- 

 ews ; 7, the seat of bone-spavin on the inner side of the lowermost part of the 

 hock ; 8, the seat of bone-spavin, a little higher up, and more towards the 

 back part of the hock; 9, the seat of bog-spavin; 10, the seat of thorough-pin ; 

 11, the seat of curb ; 12, the place that enlarges from sprain of the back-sin- 

 ews of the hind leg, seldom met with. 



* I would place 7, 8 and 9 on the inside of the hock 9 much farther for- 

 ward, between 7 and 8, and 10, 11 and 12 on the outside of the hock, which 

 would give a much better idea of the seat of these diseases. ED.
