At first she resisted - she'd "bounce" me back to her preferred diagonal, since that was more comfortable for her, so I had to keep switching back to the right. At first, I kept the periods posting on the right brief, increasing them as I built her muscling up on that side. Dawn in Texas >>>>>>>>>>> When I realized that I'd gotten into the habit of preferring one diagonal, and starting working to use both diagonals I noticed that if I was on my preferred diagonal I pretty much kept it thru stumbles and such, if I was on my weak diagonal any little thing bounced me to my preferred diagonal. Now after working to make sure I use both diagonals I'm still likely to grab my preferred one if I just start posting w/o delibaretly picking my weak diagonal but I don't lose the weak one as easily and sometimes I get bounced to it from my strong one now when Grey shies or stumbles. Not saying that Dawn was one-sided, but I believe a lot of times we think a horse is putting us on a diagonal, when its our bodies taking any excuse to switch to a preferred diagonal; or maybye I'm just weird.
