The muscles of a horse are well developed and tightly attached to bones. You will find similar types of muscles in horse body as you found in cow or goat. I have published an article on an animal muscle that will help you understand and identify the muscles from the animal body. Haile, James; etal. (2009).

Curriculum

Height is not the sole criterion for distinguishing horses from ponies. Breed registries for horses that typically produce individuals both under and over 14.2hands (58inches, 147cm) consider all animals of that breed to be horses regardless of their height. [35] Conversely, some pony breeds may have features in common with horses, and individual animals may occasionally mature at over 14.2hands (58inches, 147cm), but are still considered to be ponies.

The hindlimb attaches to the vertebral column via the pelvis, while the forelimb does not directly attach to the spine (as a horse does not have a collar bone), and is instead suspended in place by muscles and tendons. This allows great mobility in the front limb, and is partially responsible for the horse's ability to fold his legs up when jumping. Although the hindlimb supports only about 40% of the weight of the animal, it creates most of the forward movement of the horse, and is stabilized through attachments to the spine.
