horses

Right legged (hand) horses vs left legged (hand) horses in respect to the info that when the mane is on the left the horse is right handed and when the mane is on the right the horse is left handed.

GQ is like Jeopardy. You are supposed to phrase your response in the form of a question. :wink:

And it’s nonsense, anyway.

The mane can be trained to lie on either side of the horses neck, just like the part in your hair. Many (maybe most) horses have it naturally flop down all over, parts on one side and parts on the other side of the neck. It often takes a lot of consistent effort to make it lay neatly on one side of the neck. And lots of expense, too – do you know how many cans of hair spray you can use on a yearlings’ mane during show season?

Agreed the mane can be trained either way. Typically the mane is braided or trained to the left.

Plus, the mane doesn’t always naturally lie one way. Quite often it splits (part going one way and part the other), or has cowlicks.

The only way I can see a shred of truth to the statement is if the muscle development is SO unequal that the muscle on one side pushes the hair in the other direction. That would be very uncommon. Race horses come of the track quite left-sided (if raced counterclockwise, as in the US) and their manes go every which way.

To whatever extent horses are “handed” it would be seen in which lead they, unaided, prefer.
Not their manes.

CMC fnord!

:confused: In eventing, hunters, and dressage, the right side is typical (although some use the left, the right is predominant).

shrug maybe I just know contrarians. Sorry. My point is, it can go any way you want it to go.

I seriously love this!!!

The horses on my planet have hooves in place of hands.
