leaning on right shoul   hello ma'am, this photo was taken after the horse won the race. may i know why is this horse leaning on its right shoulder? is it totally exhausted after the race? please look at its legs, they are leaning towards its right?

Answer
Rohit,

This horse is indeed a bit off balance and leaning to the right, but he is a living creature, and may be attempting to get in better balance. He is being tightly held by his bit by the people on each side of him,  and . His of course he looks and probably is very tired from the race. His mouth is open so that he may be trying to balance himself so that the pull on his mouth is not as painful.

But of course horses and humans are animals who are constantly in movement, and so the weight shift is entirely normal.
