The flank area on a horse begins just above the 'stifle' joint (which is located on the upper hind leg and towards the front) and extends upward toward the backbone. It is easily recognizable because the hair growth there runs in the opposite direction from the rest of the horse's coat, and is also near the area where a horse's reproductive organs (mare's udder or stallion's sheath and scrotum) are located.
