Tony, The 8 foot measurement is based on mid-stride for a running horse. Remember, a running horse spends only a fraction of a second in full extension and as much time in flexion as extension. High-speed photography shows that, even when in full extension, horses don't really run stretched out as shown in the old paintings.
