Horses don’t care about being straight and balanced. No horse spends time worrying about how it could be straighter and move with more balance. They don’t even know they are crooked and there is a better way.
WHY IS CROOKEDNESS HARD TO OVERCOME?
STRAIGHTNESS AND EMOTIONS
While a horse is emotionally anxious I know there are many ways we can make crookedness uncomfortable enough to force its body to work with a fair degree of straightness. But I don’t believe that when a horse is emotionally anxious it can find straightness itself - we have to impose it. A chronically troubled horse will always be chronically crooked.
