] As many horse-drawn vehicles travelled along the same route, if the wheels were grinding into the ground along a continuous line, but the horses' hooves where falling in a more random pattern, would the grass under the horses' path be more likely to survive than the grass under the wheels' path??
Yes, that's what I had in mind. And the hooves might have more surface contact area than the wheel rims, too. Then, is it one or more horses between the wheels? Or are they side by side, leaving more of the center untouched? There are so many variables I'd be inclined to make the filmakers do some hypothesis testing before making the movie (-;
