Lesions in the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) are one of the most concerning injuries for performance horses. On ultrasound, these injuries appear as mixed areas of scar tissue and dark regions of fiber disruption. Depending on the location, such as within the carpal canal near the knee, these lesions can compromise tendon strength and long-term soundness. Because tendons heal slowly and often with scar tissue, management requires a careful plan: controlled exercise, regenerative thera

The superficial digital flexor tendon is one of the primary support structures of the lower limb, carrying much of the load every time the horse takes a step. When this tendon is compromised, its ability to hold the fetlock in place is lost. The result is a visible fetlock drop, where the joint sinks abnormally low toward the ground. This isn’t just a cosmetic change, it signals a breakdown of the limb’s natural support system and puts enormous stress on the suspensory apparatus and surrounding

Equine Performance Center EPIC on Instagram: "The superficial digital flexor tendon is one of the most critical weight-bearing structures in the horse’s limb, and when it is injured the consequences are severe. Damage here causes the fetlock to drop dangerously low with every step, putting the entire limb at risk. In this case stem cells were placed directly into the lesion to stimulate regeneration, but healing of this magnitude takes months—often six months to a year, and even longer in older

Severe tendon injuries are one of the most serious challenges a horse can face. The superficial and deep digital flexor tendons aren’t just soft tissue—they are the core structures that support weight, absorb concussion, and allow proper movement. When injuries like this occur, even partial damage can lead to long-term lameness if not managed correctly. Early ultrasound evaluation is critical to assess the extent of the tear, map the disruption of fiber patterns, and design a targeted recovery p

Equine Performance Center EPIC on Instagram: "Severe flexor tendon tears create more than lameness—they destabilize the entire limb. In this case, the superficial digital flexor tendon was so damaged that the fetlock dropped significantly under weight. Stabilization is critical. A custom support shoe was built on-site to hold the fetlock in position and reduce strain during healing. This type of solution is not found in textbooks, it comes from years of experience and the ability to adapt in dif

Calcification and joint changes in the fetlock can affect performance long before clinical lameness is obvious. Even mild arthritis, small bone spurs, or signs of past trauma like bone bruising can contribute to discomfort under pressure. Identifying issues like these early, through flexions, palpation, and imaging, helps us target the root of pain and customize treatment. Whether it’s anti-inflammatories, joint injections, or adjusted workload, the right plan can preserve soundness and performa

The fetlock joint is a critical component of a horse's anatomy, as it supports their weight and allows them to move with agility and flexibility. However, even minor injuries to this joint can cause lameness, due to its limited protective coverings. Therefore, it is important to keep a close eye on the health of the fetlock to prevent any potential injuries. This joint is unique in that it is a rotary joint and has the greatest range of motion of any equine joint. During athletic events such as

Feet must be taken into account when looking at problems like this and as farriers it is important that we educate owners on the importance of how feet should look, and how to schedule the horse to achieve maximum results in a minimum time frame. #farrier #horses #showjumping #eventing #dressage | Harry Spinks Farrier Ltd
