Description
Here are the bones to my filly rig. It probably looks like it has way the heck too many joints in the legs, specifically the forelegs. Nope. And yes, even the squashed proportions of the filly have enough room to fit all those joints. The show is actually remarkably accurate with its animations, clearly basing them on actual horse movement and joint placement (with obvious leeway for the more exaggerated cartoony poses.)My simplified bone structure for the foreleg goes:
Shoulder (scapula)
Upper arm (humerus)
Lower arm (radioulna)
"Hand" (metacarpus)
Hoof
And for the rear leg:
Pelvis
Upper leg (femur)
Lower leg (tibia)
"Foot" (metatarsus)
Hoof
Note the joint placement. The "wrist" joint is smack dab in the middle of the foreleg. Many 3D pony rigs tend to place it far too low. Likewise, the ankle is midway down the rear leg, though that's one that almost everyone gets right, due to the prominent heel bone.

This was super educational for me as someone who has had a heck of a time trying to rig a 3d pony model! Thank you so much!

I ride, and at one point we were taking a break and simply walked around. I want to get into animation, and as I was watching the legs of other horses move, yes, I agree, the show is VERY accurate. The movements are identical, save the fact horses have bigger strides. Plus, when grooming, the legs have to be lifted up, and it bothers me SOOOOOO much when people bend the pony legs in a way that would severely damage a horse's leg in real life. In other words, well done. ^_^

Actually I was thinking theres way the heck too many joints in the ears.

Real ears don't have any bones in them, but I still needed to put some there to control the mesh in order to get them to fold and the like, which is definitely one of the hardest things to do when posing a pony, at least in my experience.

Thank you so much for getting all the bones in those legs. It's one of my biggest pet peeves with pony art when people forget/leave out joints or put them in the wrong place! It's so satisfying to see such a well-done model.
