What muscle do horses use when they are in the landing phase of jumping?

As a horse comes down on the opposite side of a fence or jump he lands first on one front hoove and then the other followed by the two hind feet. So depending on which lead he lands on that leg takes the most weight and stress. So the muscles involved in a landing are the shoulder muscles and the muscles and tendons down the front legs. Of course virtually all the muscles are used when going over fences. The powerful muscles in the horse's haunches launch him into the air and over the top rail. The back muscles round and arc to support the rider over the highest part of the jump and then the shoulder and front legs take the weight of the horse as he lands.

What are the three stages of muscle cell contraction?
A Muscle Twitch is a single contraction of skeletal muscle. The three distinct phases are latent, contraction, and relaxation. Latent Phase: Is the interval from the stimulus application until the muscle begins to contract (shorten). Note that there is no traced activity during this phase, but there are some electrical and chemical changes taking place during this phase. Contraction Phase: This phase is when the muscle fibers shorten, the tracings will show during this phase (a) peak(s). Relaxation Phase: This phase is represented by the downward curve in your tracings, this is when the muscle is going back to its original state of relaxation and the muscle will once again lengthen
