Was that shot with the leaf shutter or the curtain shutter? If the leaf shutter, it was cheating ;-)

Anyone try action shots with their 6x7 or is the slightly slower
mirror movement
(than a 35mm)to much for a good stop action shot.???Just curious,but
i'd be worried the
'slap' would freak out a green horse,as i'd have to get pretty close until i
get a 135,165 or 200
lens .
I tried photographing a moving steam locomotive once. The slow shutter time caused the wheels to look out of round. It takes the 6x7 shutter 1/30 of a second to transverse the entire frame, so fast action shots are going to be difficult. If you are doing horse jumping, the thing would probably work, since you can catch the animal at the height of it's jump when there is little movement.
