Not really. Some horses will be more balanced when the rider is on the correct diagonal. But some saddle seat horses (like the one I have) are so balanced that is is hard to tell what diagonal you are on without looking. I really can't feel much of a difference. Anyway, only in equitation classes is the correct diagonal absolutely essential.
I know. I've been involved in the training of a few national level English horses. ;) But after the HA English at USN this year, I can say that I will die happy.
i thought the lineup was hilarious. trust me, they know the physical toll on the horses. but you have to keep in mind that they were trained for this, so they aren't just thrown into this on a last second basis.
@mirokupurple arabians carry there tails high so the part your seeing is the hair coming down from the bone
