My bad - I never committed all these to memory and have always incorrectly called it the knee.:x I also didn’t know what the hock really was until just now!
@Barhandar
I think they decided to move the knee higher in the final sketch. it would be really silly for a good artist like this to think of a heel as a knee. it’s a good thing to point out though, because people don’t realize how high a pony’s knee really is.
That’s not a knee, that’s the “lower leg bone”. Your circle’s between ankle t/hock (hock is that protrusion, it’s the heel) and actual knee position. @redweasel
Basically, yes.

Seems like you can alter it for body size too. Might try it. But yes, the perspective is a bit weird even if there’s good sfuff here.
Its a fine tutorial. I was merely expanding on what the other anon said. I feel that not enough people talk about perspective when I feel it can be really simplified with a little study and deliberate practice.
I find building on more blocker shapes works easier with figuring out perspective. I usually start with the scapula when i’m building a body. Personally, I feel the shoulder blades are the biggest landmark of the horse that’s easy to build on and figure out proportion and perspective.
Though I’ll be the first to it this method certainly isn’t for everyone.

Oh shoot - we do? I was just using my old Xbox name. My bad. I wish somebody would have said so when I first proposed using the tag heh.
I just call it the heel, but whatever works. I can’t imagine you drew a leg like that without knowing it was the heel of a foot.

You changed your artist tag to raps even though we have another well known artist with tag rapps…. This confused me so much.
Now all we need in that drawing is some small apple trees and crushed barn.
Oh, I think I see it. The far hind knee is a tad high - I’ll lower it some.
The further away leg SHOULD NEVER be larger than the leg in front.
