[RC] different leads and different diagonals - larry Miller
It is always a good idea to have your horse use
both diagonals and both leads so the horse will be balanced. Practice at
home. A ride is the worse place suddenly to become balanced. Since I
am horrible about diagonals, I stand so the horse will get a break. Canter
leads are easier for me. My horses seem to switch naturally and use both
consistently. In the trot, they bounce me back to the diagonal which is
comfortable for them. So I stand. Jeanie
