This is explained so well!!πβ€οΈ
"So every animal, and people too, are continually losing -- and then regaining -- their balance with every step they take.
First they tilt one way, then they tilt the other; but in between those left and right tilts, they must pass through the middle, which is the point of perfect equilibrium or balance.
Thus, the problem that your horse is having is not that she loses her balance; it's that she loses it and then cannot regain it.
Two factors make it particularly difficult for horses to regain their balance: they are going too fast, and they are stiff."

For the rest, click on the link below and read the forum member's question about her mare and the ensuing discussion.
I posted a little quote to grab your attention but the depth of information and the logic with which it is presented is well worth your time.
I first shared this in....2010! And it does not get old.
