What does 'a speed of 1:40 gait' mean? Is a 'gait' a unit? Why is a ratio given? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.177.76 ( talk) 15:54, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
So if the cameras are places 69 cm apart, and the horse is travelling at 36km/hr, that means each picture is roughly 70ms apart, not 1/1000th of a second... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.83.222.203 ( talk) 23:17, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
I noticed that the images in the infobox don't match the gif on the page. Is the animation taken from a later experiment? Tigerboy1966 06:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
The text of the article says the date is June 15th, 1878, but the caption of the photograph, as shown in The Horse in Motion high res.jpg, says June 19th. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rickybobpat ( talk • contribs) 00:41, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
I didn't check every single one of the refs, but I was unable to find a reference to a broken saddle. Throwing a [citation needed] tag in there. 23.249.39.108 ( talk) 04:39, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. Cúchullain t/ c 13:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Sallie Gardner at a Gallop →
The Horse in Motion – The new title The Horse in Motion was the title printed on the series of cards that is the subject of this article. The old title Sallie Garner at a Gallop is a recent name given to just one of these cards (or to GIF animations of its images). The card that does depict "Sallie Gardner" does not seem to stand out in the series, or the article fails to relate any reasons why it would stand out. The term "gallop" was not used in the printed texts on any of the cards, and it is unlikely that Muybridge or Stanford would have liked it in a title for their work. The term "gallop" was probably dismissed by them, for reasons stated in the related book The Horse in Motion that was published under auspices of Leland Stanford (see
