The following Web site has excellent diagrams of the horse's hoof:
www.horseshoes.com/anatomy/anatomy.htm.

You can also get a copy of Dr. Doug Butler's textbook, The Principles of Horseshoeing III. It is an excellent source for hoof anatomy images and provides an understanding of proper hoof care.
