The patella, or kneecap, is very important to a horse. While in motion, the patella helps maintain proper joint movement in the stifle. While standing, the patella is part of the locking mechanism that allows a horse to sleep while standing up.
It is the front of the horses "knee".
Hi, patella cubiti which is also known as sesamoideum tricipitale is your answer.

The patellar tendon is below the patella. It connects the patella to the tibia and is essential for proper knee function.
The floating bone at the knee joint is called the patella, also commonly known as the kneecap. Its function is to protect the knee joint and provide leverage for the thigh muscles during movement.
There is a patella (kneecap) in the front of each knee, to support and protect the joint behind it.

The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a sesamoid bone. This means it is a small, oval-shaped bone embedded within a tendon. Its function is to protect the knee joint and aid in the action of the quadriceps muscle.
The patella and scapula are similar in form as they are both flat and triangular bones. In terms of function, both bones provide attachment points for muscles that aid in movement: the patella assists in knee extension by increasing the leverage of the quadriceps muscles, while the scapula provides attachment for muscles that move the shoulder joint and stabilize the upper arm.
