Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Heels down

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.
