Foot fall at the trot

In taking pictures I've noticed that both Chinook and Bravo's hind foot strikes the ground an instant before their front foot. I'm wondering if that's what makes Kigers so smooth to ride?
Here is Chinook a couple years ago.


and again more recently

Wow, catching that at just the precise moment. I am so going to miss seeing new photos of your horses especially Chinny. He is a dream horse. So elegant. Please post pic of him to illustrate any and all points.

I really don't have much of him standing squared up and square on. I'll see what I can find.
