1. Introduction
This user guide is intended to take you through the process of using the Pegasus Limb
Phasing System to gather data on a horse’s gait, retrieving that data, and finally
analysing it.
It covers all routine operations, and with sufficiently frequent use, you will need it
less and less.
If you are curious and want to know a little more about the sensors, or if you observe
something you feel is out of the ordinary, please refer to the Sensors Manual and/or
