Episode #158: Laterality, "Handedness", and Training Asymmetry


Ever wonder why your horse is proficient at left circles but falls apart on the right? Or why they spook more from one side? It’s not stubbornness—it’s laterality.

In this week’s episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast, we break down what “handedness” really means in horses, how to spot it, and why ignoring it is the downfall of performance and soundness.

From facial whorls to canter leads, you’ll get practical tests and a step-by-step plan to turn your crooked horse into a symmetrical superstar.
