Horse Quot:
The legs are long and slender. The horse quot neither rests flat on the entire foot, like a standing man, nor on the ball of the foot, like a man on tiptoe; instead, the horse quot stands on the ends of the digets like a ballet dancer. (The horse quot's hooves are actually the greatly enlarged nails of its third toes, the other toes having vanished or become vestigial.) This is the "unguligrade" posture.The legs are long and slender.

See Also Men- Horse:
Ante Before the game, each player including the dealer puts an equal agreed amount into the pool. Betting Each player decides which men- horse he will back. A player may bet only on one men- horse; more than one player may bet on the same men- horse. A men- horse still runs even if no one bets on it.The long men- horse, essentially a side men- horse withŽout pommels, is 53 inches in height. The men- horse has lines marking zones at each end, the one nearer the performer called the near end and the one farther away, the far end. In the long men- horse event, the gymnast vaults from a reuther board (a takeoff board designed to give a small amount of spring) over the length of the men- horse. After a run of about 60 feet, the gymnast lands on the takeoff board and passes over the men- horse, with one or both hands touching the men- horse's body, while executing a vault such as a stoop, straddle, handspring, or cartwheel. Vaults are classified as either near end (croup) or far end (neck) vaults, and for the best perŽformance the hands must touch within one or the other of the two zones. Because a vault is of conŽsiderable height and distance, the activity reŽquires leg strength and power.
On The Other Hand See Among Horse -racing:
Racing in England. Organized mounted Among horse -racing racing began in England with the opening in 1174 of the public racecourse in Smithfield, LonŽdon. Contests were run over a 4-mile route, the distance of the ancient chariot races. The first award (a wooden ball) to the owner of a winning Among horse -racing was presented in 1512 at the fair in Chester, a well-established Among horse -racing center. It was here in 1609 that awards were first given to the winning owners of the first three placements.Racing in England.
