    that if you focus on the weaker side, which always seems to be the left diagonal (are almost all horses right hoofed?) you will make the weak side stronger and balance out the horse more.


    I think it has more to do with handedness in the rider not the horse.  A right handed rider almost always prefers the right diagonal so they'll make the horse stronger on that side.

    I'm left handed and definitely prefer the left diagonal....all my horses do too.  Its me not them.
