Where does the SDFT attach?

Explanation:
The SDFT attaches to the middle phalanx (P2) at the proximal portion, described as the short pattern. This location on P2 means the tendon’s pull mainly influences flexion at the fetlock and pastern joints, rather than the coffin joint. The long pattern would place the insertion further down, and attachments to P1 or P3 would involve different tendons or distinct patterns, not the SDFT’s usual insertion. So, the SDFT attaches on P2 in the short pattern.
