What does GASKIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
The part of a horse's hind leg between the stifle and the hock, the muscular lower thigh.
Horse breeders and vets talk about the gaskin when judging a horse's power, because strong muscle here drives the hind leg during galloping and jumping. It sits above the hock and below the knee-like stifle joint, roughly where a human would have the calf. The word is a specialised one and is met mostly in veterinary, riding and stud-book writing.
