explained.
"A running horse has one foot
on the ground. three feet on the
ground, or four feet of the ground,
as he moves forward. Everything
is rhythm-his stride, his manner
of bringing his feet forward, his
balance.
"Let US study & horse with four
feet off the grouno-he comes down
on one foot first. Think of the
