Hi all!
Firstly, let me introduce myself.
My name is Luke and I am a farrier (put shoes on horses) from the UK.
Secondly, let me apologise for posting in the wrong place, this is the best recourse I have found so far!!

I am just looking for advice on a place to find some gait software.
I would like to be able to record a horse move without shoes and then compare the gait after the shoes are fitted/changed.

The system would have to be non-contact so something like the graphic animators use with the stick-on paper dots would be good.

In terms of hardware I have a fairly powerful laptop. I am presuming 2 digital camcorders with a firewire output would be the pest bet for video capture?

In terms of software I have found a few equine based commercial applications but as this is a no-profit project I don't really want to spend much!
I am presuming that a system that tracks dots will track them regardless of what they are stuck to!

I have a basic idea but don't really know much about gait analysis so any pointers would be useful!!
Many thanks, Luke.
