Going to the left my mare is beautifully balanced through any gymnastics but to the right she rushes through everything. I’m having someone video me this weekend so I can get a better idea of what’s going on, show my trainer and chat about it.
In the meantime… has anyone ever had this?
I can’t tell is it because she is weak on that side?
Do I need to call the vet?
Am I doing something?
Do I need to change the gymnastic lengths?
Any thoughts to ponder are appreciated
It’s unlikely to be a distance issue as both sides would have trouble if that were the case.
My guess is physical - possibly just weakness. What the difference in sides if it’s a single jump? How is her flatwork on each side? Can you collect and lengthen trot and canter with equal quality on both reins?
Not specifically gymnastics, but my mare is rushier on her weak side in the canter. WTC on the lunge through raised “cartwheel” cavalletis every few days has really increased her strength and cadence in the canter.
