Fetlocks

/ˈfɛt.lɑks/ noun

Definition

Plural of fetlock; multiple fetlock joints or the characteristic hair tufts found at these joints on horses or similar animals.

Etymology

Plural form of 'fetlock' (Middle English fetelock), created by adding the standard English '-s' suffix. Used in equestrian contexts since at least the 14th century.

Kelly Says

When describing a horse's legs in riding and veterinary medicine, 'fetlocks' is the technical plural—recognizing that horses have four of these joints means you're already thinking like an equestrian specialist.
