Many people don't even know what a diagonal is. They haven't had a lesson in their life and they just ride and post. I've ridden with lots of people who are clueless about diagonals and wouldn't know which one they were on much less which lead their horse is on. Its sad but true. (thank you mom and dad for all those riding lessons.....;-)

Now this is the most blatant example of sexual discrimination against men
ever. My folks never gave me riding lessons and none of my buddies ever
got riding lessons. Only my sister got riding lessons. Our folks just
assumed that us guys knew how to ride cause we were boys so we got hole
digging lessons and mowing lessons and that's discrimination. Now I come
out to horseplay with ya'all and you diamond-lovin little fluff bunnies
(according to Chevy) run all over me, leave me in the dust, insult my
diagonals (whatever they are) and then tell me I ain't never gonna get to
lead cause I don't even know what lead is what. Now that's just really
mean like I think I've hit the glass ceiling of endurance. I've been
wronged and prevented from succeeding buy a conspiracy of good-old-gals
who have had riding lessons and then refuse to tell us what the hell is
this diagonal stuff!?  Signed: "vertical or horizontal(that
usually hurts) sometimes but never diagonal or in the lead" Don
