Cross-cantering doesn’t always mean something is wrong. While it may feel awkward or unbalanced, trainers Carleton and Traci Brooks explain that it often provides useful feedback about where a horse is in their development. Young horses, horses building strength, or horses still learning balance may cross-canter occasionally as they figure out their bodies. The key is understanding why it’s happening.
