Walk-run classification of symmetrical gaits in the horse: a multidimensional approach
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., Robilliard, J. J., Weller, R., Wilson, A. M., & Pfau, T. Walk-run classification of symmetrical gaits in the horse: a multidimensional approach. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2008.0238

Walking and running are two mechanisms for minimizing energy expenditure during terrestrial locomotion. Duty factor, dimensionless speed, existence of an aerial phase, percentage recovery (PR) or phase shift of mechanical energy and shape of the vert...

Journal Article
Crook, T. C., Cruickshank, S. E., McGowan, C. M., Stubbs, N., Wakeling, J. M., Wilson, A. M., & Payne, R. C. Comparative anatomy and muscle architecture of selected hind limb muscles in the Quarter Horse and Arab. Journal of Anatomy, 212(2), 144-152. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7580.2007.00848.x

The Quarter Horse (bred for acceleration) and the Arab (bred for endurance) are situated at either end of the equine athletic spectrum. Studies into the form and function of the leg muscles in human sprint and endurance runners have demonstrated that...
