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,
