I'm no Equus expert, but I believe the diagram has a typo in it's labelling of the 'Malar (cheak) Bone'. Is this meant to be 'cheek'? I have no means to edit the picture, so hopefully a fine editor will be able to. 203.24.137.199 ( talk) 04:11, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
It seems to me that the joint therapy and corticosteroid stuff might fit better in their own categories. Banning a substance for use in competition because of changing behavior is a topic worth discussing, but doesn't really have anything to do with the skeletal system of the horse. Maybe an equine osteoarthritis section? imho -- Getwood ( talk) 21:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Flax seed meal contains approximately a 2:1 ratio of omega-3:omega-6. Rice bran does contain omega-3, but in a ratio of about 1:35 omega-3:omega-6. Rice bran is otherwise a good source of energy, and also contains many anti-oxidants. This is one reason why it is used with flax seed meal, which is prone to rancidity in the absence of an antioxidant. -- Getwood ( talk) 15:06, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
"The 3rd metatarsal is about 1/6 longer than the 3rd metacarpal." Can someone check this? Sisson and Grossman "The anatomy of the domestic Animals" says that the metatarsal is 5/6 of the metacarpal. -- Lmalena ( talk) 16:23, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Generally all hind leg bones are somewhat longer in horses. But can you provide additional citation on your source? Montanabw (talk) 19:23, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Ah. The three links all claimed to go from system to, shall I say, subsystems or components: but in fact all three linked redundantly to the same 'parent system', so they were at best misleading (and 2 of the links were in fact overlinks). It would be better to have redlinks for these missing 'components', so a future anatomist-editor can see what needs doing and create articles as required. If a back-link to the parent article is wanted, it should be a "main" or "further" link, not three Easter Eggs that look like different links to (non-existent) subsidiary articles. I shan't comment further, but such is my reasoning. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:12, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
