Scissor Legs - Introduction to the Anatomy that Drives Scissor Legs

You'll see it if you look from the side. One front leg parked out in front, the other dropped back and loaded. Same leg forward. Always the same leg. It looks casual. It's not.

That's scissor legs — and most people treat it like a farrier problem. Level the feet, fix the stance. Except it comes back. Every time. Because the feet aren't driving it.

It's a weight distribution problem the body solved the only way it could. One leg braces, one leg becomes the feeler. One absorbs, one avoids. And once that pattern locks in, it shows up everywhere — the shoulder on the loaded side stops swinging, the other side drifts out, the horse leans on whoever's picking up his feet, and suddenly "stand square" is a genuinely difficult request.

This webinar covers what's actually behind the pattern:

→ Why scissor legs is a weight distribution problem, not a foot problem

→ What's driving the asymmetry upstream — and why it's never just about the legs

→ How the pattern migrates into the shoulder, topline, and whole-body movement

→ Why it keeps coming back if you treat it locally

→ What a body-wide solution actually looks like

When it's new, scissor legs is addressable. When it's been there long enough to become normal to the horse, you're working against a whole-body adaptation.

This webinar explains the difference — and what to do about both.

Planning for 3+ hours as there's a lot to talk about.
