Fig. 2. Distribution of the sequences over the whole range of speeds (A). The number of sequences is represented for each gait: lateral walk (blue), pace (red), trot (green), transverse gallop (violet), slow (yellow) and fast (brown) rotary gallop. Frequency of appearance of the first suspension phase, sp1 (B) or the second suspension phase, sp2 (C), plotted against ranges of speed or Froude number for each gait. Frequencies are plotted as bars. Stars indicate the presence of the considered gait without a corresponding suspension phase. N, number of sequences; N_sp1, number of sequences with sp1; N_sp2, number of sequences with sp2. Sp1 and Sp2 are explained in the text.
