The horse is built for speed, and its muscles are bunched at the top of its legs. The horse's knee is called the stifle and is only slightly below the 'body' level. The hock, less than halfway down the leg, corresponds to the human ankle. From the hock to the fetlock, the bones that correspond to those in the human foot are fused. The fetlock is the first toe joint - the horse stands on the tip of a single toe.
