Table 3.

Mean front hoof vertical force in Newtons (N) for nine horses with each gait repeated three times by exercise type in the dataset excluding canter.

Exercise Type	Walk Mean Vertical Force (N)	Trot Mean Vertical Force (N)
Straight **	1234 a	1040 a
Small circle *	810 b	700 ab
Large circle	736 b	660 b
Within gait SEM	356	134
Within gait p-Value	0.003	0.02

^ab Means with different superscripts are significantly different within a column (p < 0.05). * For an exercise type, mean vertical force was different between gaits (p < 0.05). ** For an exercise type, mean vertical force was different between gaits (p < 0.001).
