The horse's "point of hip" should be just below the sacral-iliac joint (where the loin and croup meet). It looks like a slight projection and you should be able to feel a bump there. It is just behind and just above the flank area and is actually part of the "pelvic" bone of the horse. The slope and length from this point to the point of buttock are important to the overall balance and structure of the horse and indicate the strength of the hindquarters.
I was wondering the same thing! If you feel the mares abdomen just beside the hip, the vagina is bout that big but the oviducts are in there swell! ;) x
Depends on which part of the "butt" you're talking about. You have the point of the hip, croup, tailhead, and their tail. In all honesty, when my horse is sore or something there, I call it his butt. The tailhead is where the tail connects to the body, the croup is the continuing of that to the top of the butt. The point of the hip is where you can feel the hipbones.
That question is absolutely ridiculous, If your looking for a horse you look at the gate of the horses strides, the age, expirience, the width, the length from the withers to the hip...and everything else NOT A COLOR THAT LOOKS GOOD WITH BLONDES! i completely argree, wat is with u???

Yes, all horses die at some point. Horses that are in good health live longer than horses in poor health.

Iris this is to prove my point."Yes he does ride race horses
Yes, bone spavin may cause a horse's hip to drop when he walks. Bone spavin is osteoarthritis and the final phase of degenerative joint disease.
Everyone in the world has used horses for war at some point in history. Horses have been an invaluable help in developing the world and in warfare.
