Poll: The poll is located at the very top of the horse's head, in between the ears

Ear: The horse hears things with its ears. The ears are located at the top of the horse's head. They can swivel back and forth in any direction and are a very expressive part of the horse's behavior. If the horse's ears are laid back flat against its head, the horse is angry or upset. If the ears are forward, the horse is interested in something in front of him. When one ear is swiveled back to you and the other forward, it means that the horse is listening to his rider while keeping an ear out for anything that might startle him. This is the ideal position your horse's ears should be in while you are riding him. There is less chance of him spooking this way. Talking to a horse is a good way to let it know that you are there and that you are not a threat.

Forelock: The forelock is the lock of hair which falls down the horse's forehead or face from where it grows between the ears. It is often braided for shows, or sometimes left down to fall softly over the bridle's browband.

Forehead: the space between the horse's eyes, extending from the top of the head at the ears down to the top of the horse's nose.

Eye: what the horse sees with. An albino horse can have blue eyes, or one blue eye and one brown, and other horses can have brown, blue, or walleyes. It depends on the horse. The horse's eyes are located on either side of its head. The horse can see almost a full one hundred and eighty degrees with each eye, but cannot see directly behind itself or directly in front. This is why you need to be careful when walking behind or in front of a horse, because they often lash out at what they cannot see. A horse's eyes work independently of each other. Each covers a a wide field of vision over a full semicircle. There is a small overlap in front and a blind spot directly behind. A horse makes little use of stereoscopic vision for judging distances as we do, so a one-eyed horse can still judge distances. a horse loses sight of the fence as it takes off, so it has to trust in its rider knowing that it is safe to jump. The eyes should be bright, without discharge. It is normal for there to be cauliflower shaped black bodies visible within the iris; these are called the corpora nigra. The membrane around the eye and inside the eyelid should be salmon pink.

Nose: also known as the muzzle, this part of the horse is located at the bottom of its long head. The horse has two nostrils and has a very keen sense of smell. To introduce yourself to a horse, blow gently in its nostrils. That way it will remember you when you come again and knows it can trust you. 

Nostril: the nostrils are a part of the horse's nose. It smells with them. The horse's nostrils are very tender and soft, and must be cleaned regularly. This can be done with a damp soft sponge. Wipe gently inside the horse's nostrils so clean out any debris. Smell also enables the horse to detect undesirable items in its food. It is also important in social interactions, when horse greet friends or identify strangers by touching muzzle to muzzle.

Mouth: The horse's mouth is located underneath its nose. The horse eats with its mouth and often uses it to express what it's feeling. If the horse is very relaxed and sleepy, sometimes it will open its mouth slightly and droop its eyes shut. Horses have very delicate mouths. They can be eating in a patch full of weeds and thistles and still manage to only pick up the good grass with their teeth. They have very sensitive mouths. 

Lips: The horse's lips play a large part in the horse's life. Like I said before, they are very sensitive and can choose certain blades of grass over others, and over weeds and other things they don't like. Sometimes the horse looks like he's laughing, because he'll pull his lips back and grin. That's one of their ways of getting a lot of scents from the air.

Cheek: The side of the horse's face

Lower Jaw: Right under the upper jaw. Used for grinding food.

Jugular Groove: The jugular groove is found on the lower part of the horses neck, on both sides. It looks like a line of indentation and is just above the windpipe. The jugular groove contains the jugular vein, the carotid artery and the sympathetic trunk. The jugular groove is often used to take the horses pulse. It is the easiest place to feel a pulse and is in a safe place and so avoids kicking.

Shoulder: The horse's shoulder is not actually attached to the spine by a collar bone as it does in humans. Instead, the shoulder is attached to and supports the weight of the front end by sheets of muscle. These sheets of muscle attach the shoulder blade from various points along the cervical vertebrae (bones of the neck), the thoracic spine, and to the ribs. Because of this, the shoulder is designed to be a shock-absorber. The muscles attached to the horse's shoulder are responsible for absorbing the impact when a horse moves.

Point of Shoulder: The point of shoulder is a hard, bony prominence surrounded by heavy muscle masses

Breast: The Breast is a muscle mass between the forelegs, covering the front of the horse's chest

Chest: An ideal chest is deep and contains the space necessary for vital organs. A narrow chest can lead to interference with using the front legs. Chest muscles should be well developed and form an inverted "V". The prominence of chest muscling depends on the breed.
