Where are fascia located in horses?

Fasciae are found throughout your horse's entire body – in the head, neck, back, abdomen, limbs, and croup. These fine, connective tissue-like structures surround muscle fibers, muscle bundles, muscle groups, organs, tendons, and bones. They act like a supportive framework that keeps your horse's body in shape.

The Function of Horse Fasciae

Fasciae are crucial for your horse's mobility and stability. Without them, your horse couldn't walk, trot, gallop, or even stand. They form a network that connects and coordinates all parts of the body.

Recognizing and Understanding Fascia

A little tip: If you can't imagine what a fascia is, take a closer look when preparing meat. The fine, white network that stretches over the muscle is the fascia. This structure is omnipresent in your horse's body and of great importance.
