We have
a CD ROM "Horse Movement and Gaits". This is a great tool to identify gaits
and exactly what the legs are doing and when. You can also hear the gait
and slow it down to get a better look. Reading on the back of the case
it says... Learn about: how movement is generated, elements of a stride,
elements of a gait, animation: reaching and folding, Frame: collection and
extension, Natural gaits (walk, trot, canter, gallop, back), Artificial
Gaits (pace, running walk, paso fino, peruvian paso, slow gait, rack)
On the
bottom it says.... Copyright @ 1998 Deborah K. White if this would help
anyone find one to buy. I think I got this off of Ebay.

Cool -- but I would question the accuracy of an author who lists all
the soft and lateral gaits as "artificial" <g>.
Shows a bit of a bias - eh! My mare doesn't think her gaits are "artifical."
I'm sure MB's horse doen't think his gaits are artificial either:-).
