Debe haberse pasado casi medio metro - dijo ella Explanation: Hola Roser, "overstep" es aquí la nominalización de un infinitivo, "to overstep", que significa "pasarse", "hacer un paso más de la cuenta", "sobrepasar". Yo interpreto que el caballo, al volver, "sobrepasó", es decir "se ha pasado" (dándole un tono coloquial) casi medio metro (traducción localizada para un lector español -18 inches: 45.7 cm). Espero haberte ayudado :) Flavio Estudiante de Traducci�n |

overstep Explanation: Sorry, I have no idea how to say this in Spanish, but, I think I know what it is in English! Good luck anyway! Basically, overstep is where the hind foot of a horse oversteps the front foot on the same side, sometimes by as much as 24 inches. . Here is an article with another description of overstep: In a good free walk, the average horse should cover 100 metres a minute at 50-65 beats per minute. ...The idea is that the horse should cover ground freely, in a relaxed manner, with plenty of overstep (the distance the hind hoof prints are in front of the foreprints).Ten inches of overstep or more is a Good Thing. http://www.horse-canada.com/html/articles/missingarticles/HS... |

sobrepaso Explanation: ¡Hola Roser! Se le llama "sobrepaso" (overstep) al aire de marcha de un caballo que mueve la pata y la mano (o la pata delantera) del mismo lado en igual sentido; el sobrepaso es la marcha característica del caballo pasuco o caballo amblar. Algo un poquito relacionado, pues se trata de caballos, es el "sobrepié" que es un tumor óseo que se desarrolla sobre los cascos traseros de algunos caballos. Buena suerte y saludos de Oso :^) Larousse y Google |
