This is a photograph of a horse jumping in a sequential motion study. The photograph shows a grid layout capturing frames of a horse and a rider jumping over a barrier. Each frame captures the horse and rider at different stages of the jump, from a canter to takeoff, clearing the jump, and landing. The series highlights changes in body posture, leg position, and movement dynamics. The progression illustrates the continuity and motion of the horse in action.
