So I post that much more to smooth it out. I believe I agree with Marci. But I may now be confused!!!!

I don't know how you have determined which is the strong diagonal, which is the weak. And I'm not sure what you mean by "rougher on the weak side" - I've just assumed (and we know about that) that by rough, you mean the diagonal that throws you up from the saddle the farthest.


You get thrown up higher in the air because the horse's muscles are stronger. If you stay with the diagonal that does that, you'll just make the muscles that are providing the propulsion for that diagonal stronger. It's only logic.

I don't know how to determine right side from left diagonals when trotting - I've never been able to tell by looking at shoulders or whatever. I do know when a diagonal is throwing me higher in the air, though!

However, if you mean something other than I'm assuming, then disregard the above.
