The exterior of the horse . ne towards its inferior region of the stifle, of which we will soon speak, will not, in thiscase, be exposed, in rapid locomotion, to come in contact with theabdominal parietes. If this separation, however, be too marked, itwill cause an outward deviation of the inferior parts of the horses, close behind and outbow-footed, owe the faulty directionof their posterior extremities to this cause. (See Vertical Axes.) Length.—The length of the thigh, it can be plainly seen, mustbe in close relation with the amplitude of the oscillations of which itis capable ; besides, it governs the degree of the displacements of thetibia. In our opinion, it should be computed from the coxo-femoralarticulation to the inferior part of the stifle. But its variations mani-fest themselves principally at the level of its posterior border. Theyare usually characterized by different expressions. Thus, such a buttockis said to be long or wdl descended (Fig. 73), which constitutes for this. Fig. 73.
