I believe that this is also the theory that Tony Gonzolas (sp?) proposed in
Total Balanced Motion. I have also heard Deb Bennett's theory on this and
it does make some sense. In many cases the lower heeled hoof is also
larger which implies more weight which would validate the theory of leaning
on that leg.
