Yes, a horses bones are many more times dense than a humans. A horse on average weights at least 7x more than a human and runs at much greater speeds, which means the horse needs much stronger bones. Though a horses front leg bones below the knee (Called Cannon bones) are sometimes only 7 inches in circumference, about the same thickness of a human wrist. A horse should have 7 inches of cannon bone per 1,000 pounds of weight.
