FW: [RC] speed of gaited horses-mike sherrell - Mike SherrellEd,
If you got
someone to videotape the mare and then run it in slo-mo, it might be real
interesting -- you can tell the gait perfectly.

believe it is accurate, as i have checked time and measured distances
independantly to verify the readings on my system.
here is another one for you. i have a grade crossbred mare on loan
from a friend. this mare is 12 years old, by a paint stallion and out of a
draft cross mare. she is 15.1 and about 1100 pounds. she has some
kind of gait going on at certain speeds, dont know what to call it, maybe like a
pace or something. well anyway, i checked her max speed in this
"flying pace" or whatever the heck it is, 19.2
mph! dont know how long she could do it, because we havent had
her long or done much conditioning with her yet.
i do a lot of work with gaited horses and have ridden lots of them, paso
finos, peruvians, mangalarga marchador, colombian trote/galope, and
twh. ed
