Loner 1:2 Kit Farson Branches cracked.
Kit froze at the sound, heart in his throat. The gait was shambling, crunching thorns underfoot. Kit unslung his rifle. His breath fogged in the mist of the forest.
He'd shoot.  This time he'd do it, he'd kill a zombie no matter what.
Beside him, his burly, trained-with-military-precision dog wailed and ran.
"Damn you, Beggar!"
Kit lit out after him, hellfire terror burning in his chest.
Beggar glanced back, the grenade and whiskey flask tied to his harness clattering wildly. He tucked his tail when the sleeping bag lashed to his back tumbled loose, and ran faster.
Kit trampled the bag, shouting, "B
Loner 1:1 Kit Farson  Kit stared at his bloody feet.
The silence rang in the still autumn morning.  It was a doozy, crisp-as-an-apple-morning, the kind that made you glad to be alive.  Or you would be, if the roads beyond sighed with traffic, if the cities smelled like food or oil, if the power lines hummed.  But they were all dead.
Just like everyone else, even the walky-shamblers.
Everything and everyone was dead, and now on top of everything else he needed new shoes.
He'd calloused up pretty good, leaving the mountain in West Virginia.  He hadn't even cried when his blisters burst and turned to manky pink skin.&#

I felt like doing a second part of the horse tutorial, just cause. And someone wanted tips on movement. I'm no expert, but I reccommend anyone get "How to Draw Animals" by Jack Hamm, cause he goes through ten frames of each movement of each regular gait of the horse. I've internalized them thanks to him.

I also included stuff on gaited horses, because I can never resist letting people know that I own a Peruvian. I used pictures of Chano being worked for reference, because really, a 4-beat gait like his is impossible to get by watching him. Plus, I've tried to tell folks about gaited horses and they're like "What? Your horse is gay?"

I saw gaited riders at the Equine Expo in Texas in 2003, and the riders carried glasses of champage to determine who was the smoothest. A lady who had bragged up and down about her Tennesee Walker spilled her glass in like the first two minutes and ran around bumping into everyone else to make them spill their cup. But the guy on the Peruvian Paso stallion dodged her for the whole race and din't spill a drop. Heh.

Actually, if a horse is working correctly, from back to front, the head should NOT bob up in the trot. When that happens, the horse starts to lose it's forward momentum and frame. When this happens, you break the horse's back down! In the wild and in pasture, they can do this, there's not another 100+ pounds sitting on their back. When you ride them however, they should be collected, it saves the horse's back and allows them to be a partner in work for a longer time.

This is lovely. I love horses, but I'm useless at drawing the movement of them, so thank-you.

This is a really good illustration. I think it would even help out people who ride to better visualize the horses movements. Just a note though, the gallop is actually a four beat gait.

Missouri Fox-Trotters have a wonderfully superb gait, but it's near impossible for me to draw.

~mystiq-star got to it before I did.. gallop is a separate gate from the canter, not just in beats but in the posture of the horse as well. You have some good information, but you're touching a lot on things that you either don't explain or give incorrect information. Things like collection and suspension and the like.

Good job otherwise. =]
