SDF tendon runs to

Explanation:
The superficial digital flexor tendon travels down the forelimb to flex the pastern joint and inserts on the palmar surface of the middle (short pastern) bone, i.e., the pastern region. This means its end point is the pastern bone, not the coffin bone. The coffin bone is the distal phalanx and is the insertion site for the deep digital flexor tendon, while the navicular bone sits behind the pastern joint and the proximal (long) pastern bone is farther up the limb. So the SDF tendon runs to the pastern bone.
