But it looks like on the right lead he crossed in back when he was starting to slow down (right at the end of the clip) On the left lead, one time it looked like he did it when he was turning his body out (to look at something outside the ring?) But he did it much more on the left, could be a strength issue? In the canter the off hind leg supports all the weight briefly right after landing. The leading hind leg hits with the diagonal front leg, and the leading front leg pushes off. The horse is completely in the air and then lands again on the off hind leg. (his right leg on the left lead.) Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509363746521791357noreply@blogger.com
