What is the horse's gaskin?

The horse's gaskin is the muscular area located on the hind leg, situated between the stifle (knee) and the hock (ankle). It plays a crucial role in the horse's movement, providing strength and power for activities like jumping and running. The gaskin is similar to the human thigh and is essential for propulsion and stability during various gaits. Proper development of the gaskin muscle is important for overall athletic performance in horses.
