1. Most horses have 205 bones in their skeleton but this can vary across some breeds. Arabians for example can have fewer bones in their spinal column. And while most horses have 18 ribs because some Arabians thoracic spinal column is shorter this breed may only have 17 ribs. Eight of these ribsfor all breedsare considered true ribs meaning they completely connect between the spinal column and the sternum. The remaining ribs are called floating because they do not reach all the way to the sternum.
أسعار السيارات في الآونة الأخيرة شهدت تقلبات ملحوظة، حيث تأثرت بارتفاع وانخفاض الدولار، مما انعكس على تكلفة علامات تجارية مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، ومرسيدس. و BMW هذا الارتباط بين سعر الصرف وسوق السيارات يحدد قدرة المستهلكين على اقتناء المركبات.

Sometimes a very small extra bone is present in the carpus. This has no purpose and causes no problems but can sometimes be confused for a chip fracture on an xray.
6. Talk of navicular bones sometimes breeds fear in the heart of horse owners. This pesky miniature bone buried deep in the hoof behind the coffin bone is the source of a frustrating and sometimes careerending condition in horses called navicular syndrome. Navicular means boatshaped but this term comes from the human navicular bones concave surface as it is wedged in the foot right in front of the ankle. In horses the navicular bone is in a different location and is actually a sesamoid bone analogous to the tiny bones that sit underneath our toes at the balls of our feet.
