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 eventing horses?
Horses that are more adapted to the sport of eventing. Eventing horses have to be graceful and strong for the Dressage portion, agile and fast for the stadium jumping portion, and powerful, brave and intelligent for the cross-country jumping phase. not all horses can take the stress of eventing
Do horses use muscles that help them jump higher?
Yes, horses use specific muscles that contribute to their jumping ability. The primary muscles involved include the gluteals, quadriceps, and various back and core muscles, which provide strength and power during the take-off phase. Additionally, the flexibility and coordination of these muscles play a crucial role in enabling horses to clear obstacles effectively. Proper training and conditioning can further enhance these muscle groups for improved jumping performance.
What is the name of the type of horse where you do jumps?
If you mean a sport, there are two sports that incorporate jumping: Show jumping and Three Day Eventing, which has a Dressage phase, a Cross-country phase, and a Show jumping phase. If you mean breeds, there are many, many breeds that can jump. Generally, the only breeds that aren't regularly using for jumping are draft horses, like clydesdales, or particularly stocky or tiny ponies. Breeds that have known to excel in jumping are Thoroughbreds, Hanoverians, Dutch Warmbloods, Trakehners, Oldenburgs, (and other warmbloods), Selle Francais, Appendix Quarter Horses, Connemara ponies, Sport Ponies, Anglo-Arabs, etc. The individual horse is more important than the breed, however.
What phase is between stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle?
The phase between the stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle is called the latent phase or latent period. During this phase, the muscle is receiving the signal to contract, but actual muscle shortening has not yet occurred. This period is important for the muscle fibers to prepare and generate enough force for contraction.
What phase of the moon do horses give birth in?
Any phase.
Nerve and muscle cells are in what phase?
G0 phase
Which phase of a muscle twitch is eliminated in complete tetanus?
relaxation phase
Is a squat eccentric or concentric?
Both. Concentric: Exercise where the muscle is contracted under a load Eccentric: Exercise where the muscle is stretched under a load. So when you squat down its eccentric, when you come back up its concentric. Most exercises are both, with a few exceptions (i.e. jumping of a wall is mainly eccentric, while a punch is mainly concentric. Eccentric contraction is associated with increased muscle growth, but also DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness, when your muscles are very sore after a workout).
What is the contraction phase?
The contraction phase refers to the stage of a muscle action where the muscle fibers shorten and generate force. This is when the muscle is actively contracting and pulling on the tendons to create movement.
What are the possible faults encountered during landing an airplan phase and how to resolve them?
the left landing gear could break, in which case, scooch to the left
What is the first phase after a stimulus in a muscle contraction?
The first phase after a stimulus in a muscle contraction is excitation-contraction coupling. This involves the transmission of the action potential along the sarcolemma and the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The terms systole and diastole refer respectively to the?
Systole refers to the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and blood is pushed out of the heart chambers. Diastole refers to the phase when the heart muscle relaxes and the heart chambers fill with blood.
