I was just the other day wondering the same thing. Of my two VSEs, one is 2"
longer in the body than the other. Which part of them should be together,
chests or butts? I haven't put the new one into the pair yet, but I'm
thinking chests are more important.

A pair question for those in the know.  I drive two Morgans, 
mother/daughter, about the same height, but the mother is about 4 inches or 
more longer in the body.  I have their pole straps adjusted the same length.

The pole always seems to slant toward the shorter bodied horse on the right,

so it points crooked, and is messing me up in cones.  Their traces are the 
same length.  If you were looking at them from above, I would think the 
longer horse is a little ahead of the shorter bodied horse, as their butts 
look pretty even from where I sit on the box.  Also the longer bodied 
horse's saddle is ahead of the shorter bodied horses.

Should I shorten the traces on the longer horse?  At a clinic the clinician 
lengthened the pole strap on the longer horse, but that made the pole look 
more crooked towards the shorter horse.  However it gave the longer horse 
more room to bend.
What do you think, pair people?

Debbie
