    Re: [RC] Heels down - CLRidnhigh


    Centered rideing has a different therory. Riding with a level foot as if you 
    were walking on the ground with your legs stretched over your horse. Of 
    coarse the terrain your riding makes a difference. uphill heels slightly up 
    and downhill heels down. If you support yourself on your heel or your toe you 
    will get numbing in your foot. You need to support yourself on the soal of 
    your foot rather than heel or toe. This is also used in dressage. Look at 
    your top riders in dressage these days no more heels down guys! But everyone 
    is entitled to ride as they wish.
