Leg length and gait transition data for the three size groups of horses

	Miniature		Arabian		Draft	P-value
Leg length (m)	0.73±0.04	^*	1.24±0.02	^*	1.41±0.04	<0.001
W–T transition speed (m s^-1)	1.63±0.10	^*	1.91±0.14	^*	2.27±0.03	<0.001
Froude no. at W–T transition	0.37±0.02		0.30±0.04		0.37±0.02	0.055

	Miniature		Arabian		Draft	P-value
Leg length (m)	0.73±0.04	^*	1.24±0.02	^*	1.41±0.04	<0.001
W–T transition speed (m s^-1)	1.63±0.10	^*	1.91±0.14	^*	2.27±0.03	<0.001
Froude no. at W–T transition	0.37±0.02		0.30±0.04		0.37±0.02	0.055

Values are mean ± s.d.,N=3 for each size group. P-value is for a one-way ANOVA. ^*Denotes a statistically significant difference between the two adjacent columns (P<0.05;Tukey–Kramer HSD test).
