The term 'True Balance' refers to the balance of a horse's movement.  A horse is in True Balance when his gait, speed, tempo, stride, and energy are in the correct ratio to one another.  A horse can move in True Balance when he has more weight on his forelegs than rear ( on his forehand ) when his weight is evenly distributed ( working gaits ) or when he has more weight on his rear legs than forelegs ( collected gaits ).
