How well do you understand the anatomy of a horse hoof/lower limb?

Question

Just wondering how many horse people really understand the innards. :)

I think a lot of people (including myself) know the basic parts and some of the things that can go wrong with them, but I know that I would understand the real anatomy better if somebody put it in simple words that I could understand!!! I guess all I'm saying is, If somebody told me about the anatomy in a way that's clear and understandable, then I would understand. I don't, however search google for the answers...
