  Abstract
  The image of a horse's movements, its level of endurance, suitability for various types of equestrian sports greatly depend on the quality of its limbs. Horse's movement includes persistent action of limb joints, where the joint is the fulcrum, the force is the muscle movement, and the mass is the part of the horse's body that needs to be set in motion. Movement of a horse is a mechanism including force that lifts the body up and pushes it forward. The influence of forces on the horse's body promotes the movement of the body up and down along an undulating bend. The bend of this movement line gets smaller when a horse walks since the horse almost does not take off the ground. An increase in line bend is presented in trot, gallop, and especially in high jumps, where the horse takes off the ground with all its legs after the hit. Musculature plays a significant role in the upper limbs of the horse, it is also responsible for the body movement and has strong muscles, bones interconnected by angles.
