From the wikipedia article on Eadweard Muybridge:
>This series of photos taken in Palo Alto, California, is called Sallie Gardner at a Gallop or The Horse in Motion, and shows that the hooves do all leave the ground — although not with the legs fully extended forward and back, as contemporary illustrators tended to imagine, but rather at the moment when all the hooves are tucked under the horse as it switches from "pushing" with the back legs to "pulling" with the front legs. This series of photos stands as one of the earliest forms of videography.
Once you see it you can't un-see it. Equine locomotion is fascinating shit |
