Horse Forelimb Skeleton
Horse Forelimb Skeleton (Product Code: SLE/A/120) is an articulated natural-bone specimen of an adult horse's forelimb used to study equine skeletal anatomy in veterinary, animal-science and zoology teaching. It stands on a square wooden base with a steel support rod, and the hoof capsule is mounted separately so it can be removed for close-up examination. The specimen is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Horse Forelimb Skeleton Used For?
In veterinary osteology the horse forelimb is studied bone by bone, and an articulated natural-bone specimen shows how each joint actually fits together in a way that loose bones cannot. Students trace the limb from its upper long bones down to the single functional digit, note where tendons and ligaments would attach, and relate joint angles to how a horse stands and moves. The removable hoof capsule lets the class compare the outer hoof with the bone it encloses.
The specimen is equally valuable as evidence for evolution. A limb reduced to one weight-bearing digit is a textbook example of adaptation for running, and placing it beside a human arm, a bat wing or a bird wing helps students recognise one basic bone pattern modified for different purposes. Mounted upright on its base, it also makes a striking display in an anatomy hall and a distinctive addition to zoology lab equipment in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Horse Forelimb Skeleton real bone or a cast?
The Horse Forelimb Skeleton is natural bone. The bones are articulated and held by a steel support rod on a square wooden base, so students see the real joint surfaces and proportions of an adult horse's forelimb.
What size is the Horse Forelimb Skeleton?
The Horse Forelimb Skeleton measures around 13 x 51-1/2 inches and stands on a square wooden base of 11-1/4 x 11-1/4 inches, so plan for a tall display space or a sturdy bench.
Can the hoof be removed from the Horse Forelimb Skeleton?
Yes. On the Horse Forelimb Skeleton the hoof capsule is mounted separately on the base and can be taken off, allowing students to compare the outer hoof with the bones it encloses.
Who supplies the Horse Forelimb Skeleton?
The Horse Forelimb Skeleton is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to veterinary colleges, zoology departments and museums in India and international markets, with quotations issued directly by the company.
How should the Horse Forelimb Skeleton be cared for?
Keep the Horse Forelimb Skeleton in a dry room away from damp and direct sunlight, dust it with a soft brush, and avoid washing it or applying chemical cleaners, which can damage natural bone over time.
Are there shipping considerations for the Horse Forelimb Skeleton?
Documentation and packing needs for a natural-bone specimen such as the Horse Forelimb Skeleton can vary by destination. Tell us where the order will be delivered, in India or abroad, and we will advise in the quotation.
Is a labelled key included with the Horse Forelimb Skeleton?
A key is not mentioned in the Horse Forelimb Skeleton's product details. If your osteology course needs one, please ask through the contact page before ordering so we can confirm what accompanies the specimen.
