Interesting discussion on the unequal development of one side of a
horse to another. As pointed out, most horses have this to some
degree. With extended work, this problem will show up even more,
hence something endurance riders end up having to deal with. One way
we identify this is to trot the horse down a straight wall of an
indoor or a ring and have someone watch how they track from behind.
Most interesting. Then one can work on developing the horse so he is
more symetrical. One of my horses dumps his rear so far in that I
have to ride a shoulder in to get him to go straight. But once they
learn, wow.
