Affirmed, Triple Crown Winner, was 17.1 hh. That's a lot of horse. Affirmed was born in Florida and went on the fame and fortune to win the most prestigious honor in the racing world, the Triple Crown. In his career Affirmed earned more than $2 million and was finally retired to stud.
The average length of a galloping stride of a horse is approximately 20-25 feet. This can vary depending on the size and breed of the horse.
it is 24 almost 25 feet! Man O War was the horse that had this tremendous stride... some people think that it was secretariat but they are wrong secretariat had a significantly shorter stride... it was Man O War who had the longest stride.
Sorry to disagree. The well-known Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, KY, has a set of markers which clearly document Secretariat's stride length at 24 feet, John Henry's stride length at 25.5 feet and Man O' War's stride length at 28 feet. Regards, Jul G., horse owner, breeder and rider.

The distance between the two fences would typically be around three human paces. This is because in most cases, one horse stride is equivalent to around three human paces, depending on the size and stride length of the horse.
A horses stride is measured by taking note of it's walk trot and canter. You want to be sure to take not of their posting diagnol because it won't help much if your hourse is on the incorrect lead. Horses with smaller shoulder angles have longer strides and horses with a shorter shoulder angle means a longer stride. If the shoulder angle is smaller then it means that the bone in a horses shoulder is parrellel to the ground allowing the leg to reach further. The height of a horse has nothing to do with its stride length.
Stride Frequency= # of Stride/ time. the unit used is strides/sec Stride Length= speed/stride frequency. the unit used is m/stride

Average stride length: 2.2 feet for women and 2.5 feet for man or you can estimate stride length relative to your height (females: height x .413 equals your stride length; males: height x .415 equals your stride length).
For adult females, the average step length is about 26 inches and the average stride length is around 52 inches. For adult males, the average step length is 31 inches and the average stride is 62 inches.
Depends on the length of your stride. Divide 100 by the length of you stride measured in metres.
