Equine tendons are connective tissues made up of tough fibres that connect muscle to bone. In horses, tendons are responsible for transmitting force from the muscles to the bones, which allows the horse to walk, run, and perform a variety of manoeuvres. Equine tendons and ligaments can be damaged by overuse, trauma, inflammation, or other factors. Tendon and ligament injuries are common equine medical problems, and they can lead to pain, swelling, and movement disorders. The examination and management of these tissues is therefore important to maintain the health and athleticism of the horse, with equine tendon ligaments most commonly tested using animal ultrasound machine .
