It's the bone located between the knee and the fetlock (or ankle) on the horse's legs.
A cannon bone is a horse's third metacarpal or metatarsal bone, located between the knee or hock and the fetlock joint. It is a weight-bearing bone that helps support the horse's body. A cannon bone is essential for a horse's movement and stability.
The fetlock is the joint on a horse's leg located between the long pastern and the cannon bone, similar to the ankle on a human. It provides flexibility and helps absorb shock when the horse is moving. Injuries to the fetlock can be common in horses involved in athletic activities.

Yes, a horses bones are many more times dense than a humans. A horse on average weights at least 7x more than a human and runs at much greater speeds, which means the horse needs much stronger bones.
