. Points of the horse; a treatise on the conformation, movements, breeds and evolution of the horse. Horses. Fig. 226,—Fast Gallop (Figs. 133 to 148).. Fig. 227.—The Leap (Figs. 181 to 194). order to represent the run, we would place these footprints as they are shown in Fig. 213 ; not as in Fig. 212. We may indicate the "v^alk by Fig. 214, in which J have assumed that both feet are on the ground for one-sixth of the period of support of each foot. We must remember that these scales or notations give us only the order of succession of the feet, and their respective and proportionate periods of support and suspension; but they do not furnish us with a clue to the speed of any particular pace, except that, when there is a period of suspen- sion, the longer it is, the greater, as a rule, will be the speed. To construct the respective notation of the various paces of the horse, we may employ the rectangles of Fig. 212 for the fore legs, and may use similar ones, placed underneath them, for the hind legs. Thus, Fig. 216 will give us the scale of the trot as shown by Figs. 55 to 58. My readers will notice that the dotted lines on Fig. 217 mark the respective moments at which the horse assumed the positions depicted in Figs. 59 to 62,, In the remaining notations in this chapter I have similarly marked the connections between these scales and the corresponding figures in Chapters XIL and XIIL.
