    Re: [RC] Canter vs Extended Trot - Maureen A. Fager



    Karen said "I would assume that a trot, being performed by the perfect, balanced body, no matter how much concussion it causes, is fairly EQUAL or symmetrical on both sides of the body.--Now when I massage horses, very, very few are symmetrically muscled - like people who are right-handed/right-sided, and left-sided."


    A horse may be evenly balanced at the trot--until it is carring a rider. If a rider is not balanced, or does not change diagonals frequently, or uses primarlly, or only, one diaganal, that can contribute to an unbalanced body.

    Just my thinking,
