  • Title: The gait of pacers. 1: kinematics of the racing stride.
    Author: Wilson BD, Neal RJ, Howard A, Groenendyk S.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1988 Sep; 20(5):341-6. PubMed ID: 3181118.
    Abstract:
    Standardbred pacers have been studied under race conditions to describe the gait of the pacer, and to determine relationships between stage of the race, finish order and selected gait kinematics. Overlap increased with the stage of the race while pacing speed decreased marginally for low order pacers and increased for high order finishers. High order finishing pacers appear to have greater stance and stride lengths than do low order finishers. Pacers could be separated into low order and high order groups on the basis of their movement patterns. High order pacers exhibited greater ranges of limb motion than did low order finishers.
