I have a pair of Perch geldings I have been driving together now for several 
months. I'm very pleased with them. They are slightly different in size, but 
gait together almost perfectly and are both honest and even. 
Here's my question: Does anyone have a horse that does this? The near horse, 
when asked to stop and stand, especially on a slight incline (even though I'm 
braking), will swing his rear end to the outside. My impression is that he is 
trying to avoid holding with the breeching. He is not ugly about it, but very 
matter of factly just swings that left hip out when we stop to stand. He does 
not do it when the breeching is slack. I've not tried driving him on the far 
side to see if he will also swing out the other way. Just curious to see if 
anyone else has a horse that does this. I haven't noticed anything 
conformationally that would encourage him to do this, but wouldn't rule it out.

Insight?

Thanks,
