We shall now describe the principal gaits of the horse in a somewhat synoptical way. In each gait we have to consider the relative position of the four limbs, the duration of each phase in the move- ment, the length of the stride, its rate, etc. Much that applies to the horse holds good, of course, of other quadrupeds. In every gait each leg passes from a condition of flexion to one of extension, the degree be- ing dependent on the speed or, more correctly, the effort of the animal to attain high speed or the reverse. When the foot rests upon the ground before the limb is re- moved, it de- scribes the arc of a circle, or os- cillates like a pendulum so that the flexors and extensors are used alternately more and less; though in all movements it is likely that nei- (MT orniet»ciu]Mu''or eptoondylo-metaearpiM; M, ther set is whoUv ai. tendon of obliqne ezteneor; 89, large met*- â^y.
