Military Horse Back Movement Data for Loaded and Unloaded Gaits

A 185.1 KB dataset from 2026 by Kate Horan, hosted on figshare. It captures differential rotational and translational movements along the thoraco-lumbo-sacral spine of military and police horses. The data records horses walking and trotting on hard and soft surfaces, under load and non-load pulling conditions.

Use Cases

• Modeling spinal kinematics based on gait and surface conditions mentioned in the description
• Comparing load-bearing effects on movement patterns between military and police horses
• Analyzing the biomechanical impact of hard versus soft surfaces on equine locomotion

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.
• File size is 185.1 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
