From April Reeves, Horseman's U.com: Diagonals were created to enhance and improve the movement of the horse as you post. Diagonals allow the outside front leg (in a bend) to extend farther (it has more distance to travel) AND to allow weight OFF the inside leg during the rise of that leg, since it carries the majority of the weight when circling or bending. “Rise and fall with the front leg on the wall” is often used to describe ‘when’ to rise the post, but when no wall is present, you rise with the outside front leg to the bend you are riding. If you are riding a straight line, you can ride either diagonal, especially on the trail. To keep you and your horse from tiring quickly or getting sore, change your diagonal often.

How can you tell your on the right diagnal in horse back riding?
When in a posting trot, you can check to make sure you're on the right diagonal by looking down. If your horse's inside front leg is coming back toward its body while your seat is out of the saddle, then you are correct. It will also be more comfortable. Similarly, if your horse's outside front leg is stepping forward in the trot at the same time as your seat is out of the saddle, this is also correct.

As a square has right angles, the diagonal forms a right triangle with two of the sides of the square.
