Sort of following on from PonyFeet's post about measuring her pony. Whereabouts do I measure to see how many inches of bone my horses have got?

I'm curious to know too! I've heard people saying how many inches of bone their horses have all the time but have never been able to work out or find out where it's actually measured

Measuring the Bone-Tendon Circumference.
In the living horse, it has become traditional to use a standard measurement (bone-tendon circumference or "B-T") as the indicator of the "stoutness" or "amount of substance" in the limbs. The measurement is taken at the point, just below the knee, where B-T circumference is least--thus, the part of the animals limb that most closely approximates the actual circumference of the cannon bone.
