It is the major extensor tendon of the leg. However, unlike the flexor tendons, a horse with a damaged or non-functional "extensor unit" (i.e. tendon and musculature) is not lame, but rapidly learns to compensate by "flicking" the lower limb using the carpal or tarsal extensor units.
The triceps brachii is the most important extensor of the elbow. Important part of the stay apparatus to keep the elbow fixed. Extensor carpi radialis: originates from the humerus, continues distally along the dorsal side of the radius, and inserts on the metacarpal tuberosity. Flexes the elbow, extends the carpus.
The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve, [2] [3] from spinal roots C6 and C7. [4] All other major extensor muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior compartment (the extensor digitorum , extensor carpi radialis brevis , extensor carpi ulnaris , and extensor digiti minimi ) are ...
Brevis moves the arm from ulnar abduction to its mid-position and flexes dorsally. Longus is a weak pronator in the flexed arm and a supinator in the outstretched arm. At the carpal joints longus acts in dorsiflexion with the extensor carpi ulnaris and in radial abduction with the flexor carpi radialis. These two muscles are called "fist ...

This tendon can withstand very large forces when the biceps is stretched. From this internal tendon a strip of tendon, the lacertus fibrosus, connects the muscle with the extensor carpi radialis -- an important feature in the horse's stay apparatus (through which the horse can rest and sleep whilst standing.)
