All the leg muscles are used and the core muscles are what you work for in a work. You want the horse to carry himself using his core muscles. Generally most muscles in the horse aer used so he has mobility. His neck flexes and contracts with the gaits, the legs carry and lift the horse, and the haunches bring themselves under for self carriage, this all requires muscles.

The muscles are a verity-which is why you should not canter your horse on a lunge line for to long unless he has really worked up his muscles!http://www.angelfire.com/tx2/horsecorral/musclesofthehorse.html

When they are shaped and carrying themselves correctly, the whole body is working.
