Re: [RC] re: lameness - Chris PausI don't disagree with you. And I've taken plenty of longe line lessons with an SRS trained classical instructor to correct my own rider failings. I'm a long way from where I want to be as a rider, but I'm working on it and the vet chiro tells me my horses are pretty well balanced. He's an instructor at the AVCA school of chiropractic. chris --- Cindy Collins <ccollins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Chris Paus <paus@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes:I post on the right diagonal.

My left diag posting mustbeuncomfortable to him.We all have to do whatever we have to do to compensate for our physical limitations. I have plenty. However, a good dressage instructor could teach you ways to balance your body. There are many physically disabled riders competing at higher levels that I'll ever reach. Your horse throws you to the right because he's become one sided due to only being ridden on that side. They will all do that. At this point in your horse's life, it's likely irrelevant, but if you ever started a new horse, I'd suggest you try to develop a balanced body on the horse. Just because this horse hasn't been lame is not a reason to assume you wouldn't damage another one. This was may just be exceptional at compensating for you.
