"It's important that we jump the exercise from both directions, so that we practice on both leads. Some horses have one stride that they're easier to have a solid canter on, than the other direction, so it's important we figure out which side it is, and work on that. So, once again, it shouldn't be running, it should be flowing, and if your horse has one side that they're a little bit stiffer on, you're going to have to work harder in order to get their stride length to be equal as the other direction."
