#5 Four Legged Race

A horse travels the same distance every day.

Oddly, two of its legs travel 30 miles each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 miles.

It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can't be true.

Since the horse is normal, how is this situation possible?

P.S. from now on any riddles/brain teasers that escape my mind (a.k.a. couldn't think of the answer) I will put an asterisk "*" by (i.e. #7777779 the fake riddle*)

the horse travels in a big circle. the two legs on the outside must travel a farther distance than the ones on the inside.

vetteman steals a quick win, although the technical answer was the horse worked in a mill, but I'll let it fly (Tee Hee)
