Figure 8 in Do tracks yield reliable information on gaits? - Part 1: The case of horses

Figure 8. Typical footfall pattern of the canter (German: Galopp) in its three varieties. (a) Right lead of a Paso Fino at slow speed; (b) Left lead of a German warmblood horse at normal speed; (c) Right lead of a medium sized German saddle horse at fast speed. The stride length increases with increasing speed. The Paso Fino places the hind hooves between the imprints of the fore hooves, because of slow speed. The warmblood has the same limb length as the Paso Fino, but it is placing the hind hooves beneath the prints of the fore hooves, because of higher speed. The German saddle horse is medium sized and places the hind hooves in front of the fore hooves. With increasing speed in the canter, the separation between all four hoofprints becomes clearer (in the example of right lead the group HL, HR, FL, FR.).
