Biggest reason a standardbred gets on the right line?


What is your opinion??

I would think he hurting. Horse general go away from pain doesn't want to compromise himself where he is hurting. I would think first and for most to make sure the mouth is right teeth floated. I have seen horse  hurt them selves by using their body to stay away from the hurting in their mouth. I would think that something on the right front leg.
but on my trainer would probaly say left stiffle or hock.
Like a good friend of me once said about trotters"the butts the engine the front is for steering".
I admit I'm new to harness horses but I can tell you my experience with tbreds when they don't want to shift to the right lead that right tendon usually is hurting but its always in the right leg..

It's been my recent experiences that if a horse is running in or out badly and there is no apparent lameness issues,  7 out of 10 times it's the lower hock joint on the opposite side---IMO.

Occasionally us trainers get our terminologies mixed up--rightline--leftline???

Just so there is no misconceptions I like to say running in or out in the mile....

Just thought I might add that..

Hardline I apreciate it. I m very new to harness.

So running in would be on the right line and running out would be on the left line?

[Hardline]

It always seems to depend on whom you are talking to at that time--so I just say running in or out in the mile....

25 years ago when I took my trainers test--the facilitator didn't even know for sure--it's slang...
