Because all the musculature of the horse is in the top of the limb, whilst the distal limb composes of mainly tendons/ligaments. Add that to the stay apparatus and you'll get your answer (see pick related).

Oh, and because horses are dumb.

This seems like a real convoluted way to design an animal

that's because it wasn't designed.

It doesn't if their leg conformation is poor lol

>>2437585
horses always seemed to me to be extremely fragile.
>legs too thin
>abdomen looks about to burst open
0/10 would not ride.

Yet it has served humans for years as a trusty transportation animal...

Yes it was, by God.

God needs to go back to design school. Having to purge toxic metabolic byproducts every few hours is getting inconvenient.

It's fine when you don't breed them that way.

Having four of them helps.

Those look thicker mostly because of how fluffy they are.
