That isn’t to say that a horse can’t perform lateral work when ridden side-saddle: he can, but you don’t want it to happen in the show ring. Don’t assume that a heavier weight of animal – whether he be a cob, a heavyweight hunter or, for instance, a Highland pony – can’t go as well as one who is naturally lighter and more elegant.
