It consists of tissues filled with blood vessels, and its function is to re-pump blood into the horse's heart to complete the blood circulation
And when the horse puts its weight on the hoof, it presses on the frog and the pillow, so it squeezes the blood in the blood vessels and sends it to the heart.
Therefore, the permanent movement of the horse is required to stimulate blood circulation in the extremities
Number of horse hearts 1 However, because the heart muscles are divided into atricular muscles, ventricular muscles, and myofibrils, they come into motion that are not skeletal and involuntary
These muscles respond to messages from the central nervous system, and the horse's heart is located in the same place as the human heart, i.e. the lungs, between the ribs and above the diaphragm.
