*'''Long plantar ligament''': Extends on the plantar aspect of the hock from the calcaneal tuberosity distally to the proximal end of the third and fourth [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy|metatarsal bones]] and also attaches to the central and fourth [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy|tarsal bones]].
*'''Long plantar ligament''': Extends on the plantar aspect of the hock from the calcaneal tuberosity distally to the proximal end of the third and fourth [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy|metatarsal bones]] and also attaches to the central and fourth [[Bones and Cartilages - Horse Anatomy|tarsal bones]].
The metatarsophalangeal (Fetlock), proximal interphalangeal (Pastern) and distal interphalangeal (Coffin) joints in the pelvic limb are identical to the corresponding joints in the thoracic limb.
