This is a series of black and white images showing a horse in motion against a gridded background. The frames capture different stages of the horse's walking cycle, revealing the movement of its legs, body, and tail. The grid serves as a reference point for analyzing the animal's locomotion. The visuals are systematic and suggest an intent to understand equine motion dynamics.
