THE BODY - Natural Crookedness
The rider has to recognise the natural asymmetry and imbalance and has to help the horse develop symmetrically in body and limbs.
· What is it?
· Are many horses affected by laterality?
· Why?
· How does it affect balance and athletic ability?
· Can it cause unsoundness in a horse?
· What does it mean to you as a rider or trainer?
· What can we do about it?
· Can it develop suddenly?
These are questions that we should consider. The topic is enough for an entire book and I see this as only an introduction on the subject.
