Horse references

Just a quick post about the useful references I've been looking at to understand the movement of horses for when it comes to animating. I won't be doing any 3D animation, but it's still helpful to know so that I can direct the animation properly.

This one is pretty useful as it's in slow motion - helpful to see all the muscles working :)

I went to one of these shows when I was younger. These andalusian horses are trained to do some pretty crazy things, movements that regular horses wouldn't normally do so it's good reference for extreme poses.

And these are from the incredibly handy 'Horses Inside Out', run by a woman who paints the muscular and skeletal structure onto her horses!
