If a person has a knee injury on the right leg what hand holds the cane?
In the left hand. The goal is to make it as natural as possible. When walking normally, your right leg goes out and your left arm swings forward as a sort of balance. Putting the cane in the left hand will make the arm movement more natural. It also results in a more widely based triangle of support. From a Red Belt in the Canemaster System

A cane's main function is to provide stability for those with balance issues, as well as the transfer of weight off an injured leg or foot.
How can you tell if you need crutches?
If you have to ask, then you don't need them. Crutches are only needed when it is impossible for one leg to bear any weight at all due to injury. If the leg can bear some weight, but not the full extent of the person's weight, then a cane is usually used, though most people use it improperly. Many use it on the side of the affected leg, when it's supposed to be used on the opposite side of the leg that is injured, e.g., if the left leg is injured or can't bear weight, then the cane is used in the right hand. As the person walks, when the leg comes down the bulk of the weight is shifted by the user to the cane instead.

How do you get your horse to drop its head?
While riding, use your seat to push your horse in to the bit. When you are walking, watch (or feel) for the horse's leg stride. When your horse's left leg goes forward, sqeeze your left hand. Same to your right. As soon as your horse feels softer in your hands after doing this, do a 'left hand-left leg- right hand' movement while going to the left. Do the same to the right.
