Beautiful image of the following structures- bottom to top
Frog
Digital cushion
Deep digital flexor tendon
Short Pastern- not the navicular
Long pastern.
It’s not the navicular as it a cut made behind it.
Notice the white thread like structures in the digital cushion. There are like a trampoline for supporting the weight of the horse as it weightbears, and helps to allow rebound of the digital cushion as it springs back to its original shape.

I thought it would be interesting to see what theories are out there on this condition , welcome to DM me if you prefer . This happens to be a 23 year old Friesian . I think I have only seen this three times in a 25 year career where a mature horse starts standing on its hind toes. The last one I wedged seemed to just get worse and just needed bigger and bigger wedges , if we rolled the toe it rocked over. This is a case I have been asked to advise on and I am really keen to hear your theories as to what might cause this and how to manage it.

Effect of Toe length!
Farriers can influence where the ground reaction force enters the hoof. Horses already do this to an extent with conformation. Very upright horses have a close ground reaction force, which creates small forces in the tendon. Horses with a long sloping pastern have a ground reaction force vector that is longer, with larger forces in the tendon. With a longer toe, the ground reaction force moment arms get bigger, and force on the tendon grows (Figure 2). Calculations show that 1 centimeter of toe length in an average Thoroughbred comes to 50 kilos of force acting on the tendons. (American Farriers Journal)
