How to Pony: Part 3 - Hind legs  
How to Pony: Part 4 - The Head
 
Artist Comment:  
The hind legs still give me the most trouble. Their distinct shape means you can’t as easily treat them like a big noodle or a human appendage. Hopefully the examples above will help understand how the shape deforms based on the pose. When in doubt, look for references and try to map them onto a pony form.
Re-linking the other tutorials from last time because they also have some good information about forelegs:

Thank you so much. Hind legs give me the most trouble too. Equines have such weirdly shaped legs that are often hard to draw.

Duck - "someone befriended them, saved them, coaxed them out of their shell, and showed them that sex is nothing to be afraid of. I’m kind of envious of that rape victim"

I don’t think a tutorial has ever made me laugh out loud. so true, about horses trying to sit! and this is an amazing tutorial about how hind legs work, all the important parts made super simple!
