*'''Origin''': Long digital extensor muscle proximal and dorsolateral to the [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Pelvic Limb|tarsus]] (hock)
*'''Origin''': Long digital extensor muscle proximal and dorsolateral to the [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Pelvic Limb|tarsus]] (hock)
*'''Insertion''': Extensor process of [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]]
*'''Insertion''': Extensor process of [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]]
*'''Action''': Extends the digit, flexes the tarsus
*'''Action''': Extends the digit, flexes the [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Pelvic Limb|tarsus]]
The long digital extensor tendon extends distally on the dorsolateral aspect of the [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Pelvic Limb|tarsus]] and [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Pelvic Limb|metatarsus]] , surrounded by a synovial sheath from mid-tarsus to 3-4cm distal to the [[Joints and Ligaments - Horse Anatomy#Pelvic Limb|tarsus]] . The branches of the interosseous muscle (suspensory ligament) join this tendon before its insertion on the '''extensor process''' of the [[Phalanges - Horse Anatomy#Distal Phalanx|distal phalanx]]. The long digital extensor tendon is joined by the lateral digital extensor tendon in the proximal metatarsal region.
