Thank you! That picture was a great moment in time, both horses, large and small, in perfect cadence with each other.

Horses are quite sensitive to beat and rhythm, and will often move in step with each other naturally. Many who watch the Budwieser Clydesdales think they are trained to move in step with each other. They do it out of instinct. I think they do it so that predators may not be able to tell how many there are in a group.
