Horse pedometers.

The whorls Of hair on the coats OF
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers. inasmuch as they regis.
ter the locomotive activities OF the
animals on whose bodies they are
found.
The best examples and the greatest
number OF these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse. A notable instance Is the
graceful feathering that extends along
the hollow OF the flank. dividing the
trunk Of the animal from the hind.
quarters. There are also crests and
vhorls on the horses chest and other
parts OF It's body.
A study OF the action OF the under
lying muscles explains the origin OF
these peculiarities In the lay OF the
hair and furnishes the justification for
calling them pedometecs, although the
analogy IL. OF course. merely super
