Abstract
The illustration shows how, 100 years ago (Marey 1874) a successful measurement was made of the sequence of events as a horse brings its limbs to the ground. A leather gaiter, just above each fetlock, carried a crude accelerometer consisting of a lead ball arranged to compress a hollow rubber element from which pressure lines ran to a 'portable registering instrument' borne by the rider.Keywords
