The distance which the' propelling feet hurl the animal through the air de- pends, as with other movements, upon a variety of circumstances; at a high rate of speed the distance will be about one-half the total length of the stride. Upon SOME CONSECUTIVE PHASES OF THE RACK. landing, a hind foot usually precedes its lateral fore. The rack is an ungraceful gait of the horse, and disagreeable to those who seek comfort in riding. The movements hitherto described are regular in their action, and a stride may. be divided into two parts, each of which — with a change of limbs is practically similar to the other; we now come to meth- ods of progression which cannot be so divided, and each stride must be considered as a unit of motion.
