The answer was, yes, all 4 hooves leave the ground for an instant. Of course, maybe Muybridge & the horse were in cahoots to win the bet. ;-)

: : The name of the photographer who did those motion studies was Eadweard Muybridge (or Edweard Muybridge--it's a weird spelling). The story goes that he was commissioned by Leland Stanford (of university fame) to make the pictures because Stanford had made a bet on whether horses' hooves were ever all off the ground during a gallop. I'm not sure what the answer was.
