(24) ...the effects of bending on the horse's body...
a. ...due to the spine's lateral bending the forehand comes in...
b. ...and the inner hind leg comes fore...
c. ...so that, as a result, the distance between the horse's inner legs shortens...
d. ...musculatures of the horse's inner side are released in the same measure to which musculatures of its outer side are stressed...
e. ...and, due to a shift of the center of balance in the horse's body toward the inside of the bend, the inner leg pair is loaded to the same degree to which the outer leg pair is unloaded...
f. ...only with these adjustments in its body is the horse able to follow with the inner legs a smaller circle line and by the same token maintain the rhythm of its gait...
g. ...that is, the horse reduces the activity of its inner leg pair by increasing its loading...
h. ... while decreasing the tonicity of the inner, i.e. the shortened side of its body...
Question: ...does this mean the outside leg pair is unburdened, yes... while the outside musculatur engages?
Would not the opposite be the case...? With the burdening of the inside leg pair the tonicity of the inside fascia train increases, whereas the outside fascia train, due to bending is stretched and releases...? Or are there other rules all together, which command the horse's body...
i. ...in exact correspondence with the diameters of the two circles on which the horse's inner and the out leg pair travels...
