It binds the upper headof the lower pastern to the lower head ofthe upper pastern, and is located midway be-tween the flexor tendon and upper pas-tern bone. Its office is plainly duplex—itholds the ankle and pastern joint firmlyin position, and divides the strain with theflexor tendon in its severe down-ward Fig. 4. external side view of left froxtlimb, showing the articulations, tendons,and ligaments of the knee, fetlock, and FOOT. 84 SCIENTIFIC HORSESHOEING.
