'''Long Digital Extensor'''
'''Long Digital Extensor'''
* Origin - extensor fossa of the lateral femoral condyle.
* Origin - extensor fossa of the lateral femoral condyle.
* Insertion - extensor process of the distal phalanx, the dorsal surfaces of the proximal and middle phalanx.
* Insertion - It splits in two at the level of the fetlock, each branch then inserting on the extensor process of each distal phalanx.
'''Medial digital extensor'''
* Function - extensor of the medial digit
* Origin - extensor fossa of the lateral femoral condyle.
* Insertion - the middle medial phalanx.
'''Lateral Digital Extensor'''
'''Lateral Digital Extensor'''
* Origin - lateral ligament of the stifle, the fibula, lateral border of tibia and the interosseous ligament.
* Origin - lateral ligament of the stifle, lateral condyle of the tibia.
* Insertion - It joins to the tendon of the long digital extensor about a third of the way down the metatarsus.
* Insertion - on the dorsal aspect of the middle lateral phalanx.
'''Superficial Digital Flexor'''
'''Superficial Digital Flexor'''
* Origin - Supracondylar tuberosity of the femur.
* Origin - Supracondylar tuberosity of the femur.
* Insertion - the calcaneus, eminences on the sides of the proximal part of the middle phalanx, distal extremity of the proximal phalanx behind the collateral ligaments of the pastern.
* Insertion - solar surfaces of the middle phalanges.
