Burst shooting can get some strange seeming images. Like the famous experiment where the race horse tripped a series of cameras as it went by and they found that sometimes all four feet are off the ground.
The bet had been whether or not all four cleared the ground in the “outstretched” position. Result was no, doesn’t happen.
No one had ever suspected that all four feet instead cleared the ground in the “gathered under body” position. What was *really* proved is that nothing is ever as simple as it seems :-)

Thanks for the details, it was so long ago I read about and saw the series of photos from that experiment all I remembered was the broad outlines.I seem to remember all four feet do sometimes clear the ground when outstretched during a jump over or across something.
