Tendons & Ligaments of the Equine Distal Limb | Jenny Edwards & Paige Poss

Tendons & Ligaments of the Equine Distal Limb is an in-depth visual guide to the complex soft-tissue structures of the lower equine limb. Detailed dissections and carefully selected photography help show how tendons, ligaments, bones, nerves, and blood vessels relate to one another and function during movement.

Designed as both a learning resource and portable teaching tool, the guide makes difficult anatomical concepts easier to visualize and explain to horse owners, students, and equine professionals.

Jenny Edwards is a hoof-care professional, author, educator, and graphic designer with a long-standing interest in equine biomechanics and hoof health. Her work in hoof care grew from her experience with a laminitic horse, leading her to study natural horse keeping, equine dentistry, and biomechanics and to focus heavily on client education.

Paige Poss has a degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University and a background working as a research technician in biochemistry, toxicology, physiology, and nutrition. Her interest in hoof care developed into an extensive study of anatomy; she has dissected and photographed hundreds of lower limbs and is known for using detailed imagery and easy-to-understand explanations to teach complex anatomical concepts.

Together, Edwards and Poss formed Anatomy of the Equine, combining comparative anatomy, dissection photography, graphic design, and education to help readers better understand the structures and function of the horse.
