The knee of a front leg or foreleg of an animal, especially a horse or other quadruped.
From fore- (front) + knee (from Old English cnēow). A descriptive anatomical term for the knee joint of a front limb.
Farriers and horse trainers used 'foreknee' as a technical term—the position and angle of a horse's foreknees could tell them if a horse was sound enough for work or would go lame.
