Table 1 Details for accordance between GPS and dead-reckoned positions prior to and post correction procedure for data derived from animals using DDs recording tri-axial acceleration and tri-axial magnetic field strength, with 12-bit resolution, at a sampling frequency of 20 Hz with GPS loggers (iGotU GT-120, Mobile Action Technology) recording at 0.2 Hz. Devices (61 g) were collar-mounted in the dogs, and placed on the saddle pad above the withers in the horse
