*'''Palmar/intersesamoidean ligament''' is a mass of fibrocartilage that embeds the sesamoid bones. The palmar aspect of it forms a groove for the deep flexor tendon to run in, allowing frictionless movement.

*'''Collateral sesamoid ligaments''' connect the outer aspect of the sesamoids to the proximal phalanx and there is a distinct branch that attaches to the [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy#Metacarpals and Metatarsals|third metacarpal]].

*'''Distal sesamoid ligaments''' are a collection of ligaments that are very marked in the horse and connect the distal surface of the sesamoids to the palmar aspect of the phalanx. These ligaments include the '''short ligaments''', '''cruciate ligaments''', '''oblique ligament''', '''straight ligament''' and the '''palmar annular ligament'''.  

*'''Distal sesamoid ligaments''' are a collection of ligaments that are very marked in the horse and connect the distal surface of the sesamoids to the palmar aspect of the[[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy|phalanx]]. These ligaments include the '''short ligaments''', '''cruciate ligaments''', '''oblique ligament''', '''straight ligament''' and the '''palmar annular ligament'''.  

** The '''short ligaments''' connect the axial base of the sesamoids to the lateral/medial aspect on the palmar margin of the proximal phalanx. These are the deepest of the ligaments.  

** The '''short ligaments''' connect the axial base of the sesamoids to the lateral/medial aspect on the palmar margin of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Proximal Phalanx|proximal phalanx]]. These are the deepest of the ligaments.  

** The '''cruciate ligaments''' are paired ligaments from the base of the sesamoids that diagonally cross to attach to the proximal phalanx. They lie superficial to the short ligaments.

** The '''oblique ligament''' is a triangular shaped ligament, the base of which attaches to the sesamoids and their interconnecting ligament and the point attaches to the rough palmar aspect of the proximal phalanx. It is superficial to the cruciates.

** The '''straight ligament'''  proximally attaches like the oblique, but attaches as a flat band to the edge of the complementary fibrocartilage of the proximal end of the middle phalanx.

** The '''palmar annular ligament''' wraps around the sesamoids, flexor tendons and their associated sheaths.
