Each gait has a potential and kinetic component...walking, which doesn't have

a suspension phase has a more constant kinetic value but but has less kinetic

energy because of the difference in velocity. The gallop, which has a suspension phase has more variation between gait elements than the walk.

Interestingly enough, there is a study that shows that the metabolic efficency of

the trot, canter and gallop is better than the walk due to the unique mechanisms of the musculature and elasticity of the tendons and ligaments.

False -- it is safe to transition from a canter to a gallop without walking your mount, but it is necessary to walk your horse after galloping.

Does a small horse have the same kinetic energy as a larger horse that's moving at the same speed?

No, the larger horse would have more kinetic energy than the smaller horse because kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. Since the larger horse has more mass, it would have more kinetic energy even if they are moving at the same speed.


Does a small horse has the same amount of kinetic energy as a larger horse moving at the same speed?

The more massive horse that is moving at the same speed will have greater kinetic energy. How do you define large and small? A small fat horse may have more mass than a large skinny horse.
