Where are fascia located in horses?

wp:paragraph

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