This is a series of sequential frames of a horse pulling a sulky. The frames depict the horse's movement in a trot, showing different positions of its legs and body. The wheels of the sulky are also shown spinning as the horse moves. The series of images captures the dynamic motion of the horse and the vehicle, resembling early motion studies like those by Eadweard Muybridge.
