Alas, nothing in life is ever ideal, is it?  <sigh>  One can help offset
the problem of confinement (at least as it applies to high-low syndrome)
somewhat by regular trimming and by making what riding time one DOES have
really count--do some dressage work to help the horse achieve symmetry,
and work on the trail to make sure you use both diagonals at a trot, both
leads at a canter, and ride as well-balanced as you can.
