Within the complexity of equine diseases, musculoskeletal injuries are the most common cause of death, decline in performance and loss of training days. The morphological study of bone tissue reflects the importance of providing knowledge for this problem. The experimental determination of the morphological properties of bone tissue in horses is fundamental for animal clinics. This work aims to determine the morphological properties of horse metatarsal bones, providing knowledge and providing information with clinical purposes for the practice of Veterinary Medicine. The objectives of this work were: to determine the morphological characteristics of the metatarsal III of horses and to provide knowledge applicable to animal clinics. The metatarsals III of 20 Creole crossbred horses were studied, the weight and length of the bone were recorded. Transverse osteotomy was performed in the middle part of the diaphysis and the following measurements were made on the section surface: cortical thickness, cortical and medullary area. The variables under study were some for statistical analysis: descriptive, correlation, regression and variance with significance (p≤ 0.05). It is observed that there are significant differences between the areas (p< 0.0001). 87% of the total area in the middle part of the shaft of metatarsal III is occupied by the cortical area of the bone. The cortical area depends on the weight of the bone (R2= 0.88, p≤ 0.0001) and the age of the animals, being greater in G2 (p≤ 0.0014). The medial quadrant is the thickest, followed by the dorsal, lateral and plantar quadrants
