Stifle Joint – The stifle is the equivalent of the human knee and it is the largest, most complex joint in the horse. The bones that make up the stifle are the femur (thigh), tibia (shin) and patella (kneecap). The stifle lifts the leg upward and forward, making it critical to moving and athletic pursuits. The stifle has two joints, the femoropatellar joint (connects the kneecap) and the femororbital joint (connecting the bones). Stifle injuries can go undiagnosed because the stifle is difficult to evaluate. In addition to all common joint problems, traumatic injury to the bones and ligaments can occur due to activities involving sharp turns, while meniscal ligaments can be damaged by activities such as jumping. Stifle ligament and meniscal damage are currently the most under diagnosed.

Unlike humans, horses do not sleep in a solid, unbroken period of time, but take many short periods of rest. Horses spend four to fifteen hours a day in standing rest, and from a few minutes to several hours lying down. Total sleep time in a 24-hour period may range from several minutes to a couple of hours, [117] mostly in short intervals of about 15minutes each. [118] The average sleep time of a domestic horse is said to be 2.9 hours per day. [119]

Drinking their own horses' blood allowed the Mongols to ride for extended periods of time without stopping to eat.
