Description This is the one of the first tutorials I made and I have to say, it turned out pretty nice considering it was one of my first tries.
I made it for a Dutch forum so the text is Dutch but I can translate it to English if there's any interest for that. I'm sure the drawings speak for themselves though.
I hope it's useful!

English translation

1.
Draw a few simple lines for the position of the legs, circles for the knees and the hooves.
You can also use guidelines (they're the red lines in this drawing, between the legs).

2.
Now we're going to draw the outer lines of the legs, to 'form' the legs. Details, like the muscles, aren't required yet.

3.
Now that you have the outer lines, the legs look pretty finished already. This last step isn't required but it makes your drawing more 'alive'.
We're going to draw the muscles. It depends on the picture where they're placed, even though you have a few basic muscles which you always see. So, in this step, it's really important to take a good look at your reference.

4.
Your legs should be finished by now! If you still have questions, don't be afraid to ask them.

I think I pretty much understand what it says but a proper English translation would be nice, please

I added an English translation. It's not the best but it will have to do. ^^

Thank you very much Do you have any tips on making the muscles look realistic? Like what should I pay attention to as a guide? My horses usually fail at that point. I haven't drawn a lot but I have tried a few times. They look 'decent' enough for non-animal-enthusiasts but that's pretty much it

Right now I'm too tired, but I'll try to make a guide for the basic muscles tomorrow, maybe that will help. ^^

Oh, it doesn't have to be anywhere in the near future. I really meant some tips but a guide would be most helpful, thanks

Het is iig al makkelijker om ze een vorm te geven als je de basis hebt. Dan hoef je minder te klooien met de verhoudingen en posities en heb je iets om omheen te tekenen.
