What one-sidedness reveals about horses - a conversation with Konstanze Krüger & Kate Farmer

Show notes

Horse owners encounter the horse's preference for one side, laterality, every day, but many are not even aware of it. In science, this “skewness” is divided into four aspects: the physical, motor and sensory skewness as well as the laterality of the brain.

Typical situations in horse training: Sometimes it turns out that horses only get spooked on one side or that mounting works easily on the left side while there are difficulties on the right side. It may also be that your horse only prefers one particular side when leading.
