The "prancing" attitude of the horses of the frieze of the Parthenon was probably not intended to represent rapid movement at all. The "stretched-leg" pose and the "flex-leg" pose are, as a matter of fact, phases of "the jump," and are definitely recorded in Muybridge's instantaneous photographs of the jumping horse, but have no existence in "galloping" nor in any rapid running of the horse.
Figs. 2 and 3. From Muybridge's instantaneous photograph of a fox-terrier, showing the probable origin of the pose of the "flying gallop" transferred from the dog to other animals by the Mycenæans. The stretched-leg prance used to represent the gallop by Carle Vernet in 1760. The stretched-leg prance used by early Egyptian artists. Flying Gallop. Flying Gallop. Galloping Griffon. Flying Gallop.
