Abstract
Horses have been used and bred for centuries for their movements. However, specific breeds are expected to have different movement capabilities. We have measured 425 horses from four different breeds at walk and trot on a straight line using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) system (EquiMoves®). This article describes how the data was collected, filtered and analysed to provide a useable dataset of 28 movement variables. It provides a full protocol for field measurements and requirements for adequate trials for analysis. Intra-class correlation coefficient estimates are also provided to assess repeatability of the measurements.

Funding
Our special thanks go to our core team of horse handlers, Jeremie Korpes, Herve Sapin, Chris-tian Gerber and Ludovic Taillard, who have trotted most of the horses in Switzerland over the span of three years. We thank all the horse owners giving us access to their horses for perform-ing the measurements. We are grateful for the photographer Christelle Althaus for providing the photographs used to illustrate our methods section. This study was funded by the Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG) under contract number 627001851 .
