appleseed - Hey, to be honest, I don't really see how you're learning much from that study. I think you'd be better off just drawing the things you want to learn. It saves you way more time and once you've learned it, sculpting should be much easier. You don't need to make things harder than it is :)
Also, one of the best ways to learn horse anatomy is to learn human anatomy and apply that to a horse. We have a common ancestor with horses and at that point, basically all the muscles and bones are in place. The main difference is the shape and size. Hoofs are basically the toe of a horse. On a skeleton you can see that the humerus, radius and ulna are much higher up than on most mammals.
The link you provided isn't relevant to anatomy. It's just 3D models of figures so that's why I am not adding it to the resource section.
Grieverjoe - Hey man. It's cool that you want to draw from a Houdon sculpture but I think you need to learn about all the muscles before you try and draw something that complex. Just copying something with anatomy isn't the same as studying anatomy. You can't approach it like most other subjects. It's like advanced perspective. You just need to learn it from a non-artist perspective.
Have a bunch of client work to do so I don't have as much study time I'd like. I'm also working on finding a place to live. Still, I've managed to do a few studies.
