The sequential analysis generated a chart of 11 playful, individual behaviors that were scored as bouts for a total of 7 minutes and 54 seconds. The catalog of behaviors shows the probability (out of 1) of one behavior occurring after another in sequence. With this information, a Kinematic Graph was formed which explained the relationship between the most frequent play behaviors that occured in sequence (Figure 2). The thickness of the arrows that connect different behaviors show how often the sequence occurs. This makes the interpretation of the female foal play behaviors easier to interpret to analyze the foal to foal communication.
