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.
Oh, dude, you're talking about the glamorous world of equine anatomy! So, the hair on a horse's butt is technically called the "tail hair." Yeah, it's not as fancy as you thought, huh? But hey, it's still there, swishing around, making horses look majestic and all that.
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

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.
When someone on Howrse has 1 karma point, they can buy horses. They just can't buy horses from the private sales, they are able to buy horses from the auctions, as long as they have enough money.
The highest point, the peak of each gable or hip.
absolutely not. because with hip-hop you flex your feet (you don't point them), you dance more to the beat and it was created on the streets. with jazz you have to point your toes, perform leaps and it is judged more harshly.
