My daughter has a horse who does something very strange when he
gallops. It doesn't matter what lead he is on in front...about every six
strides he changes leads in the rear....then six strides and changes again, all
the while keeping the original lead in front. And it doesn't matter
whether he is on the right or the left lead in front...and he does this while
running loose....he can be at a slow lope or an all out run and he is still
changing leads, back and forth, in the rear..same under saddle in an arena or on
the trail. He is seven now and has done this since she got him as a two year
old.
