I see light contact here, which is a building block towards collection, but I don't see collection.

what if i told you, heels down is more to instill a proper seat and not spur the horse accidentally than it is to serve and real function? ancient greeks didnt ride heels down, you didnt start to see heels down until the spaniards and arabs started wearing rowels, heels down seems to have stemmed from that

@@MirandaRights008 ive broken horses with my toes down keeping constant pressure to make them used to leg pressure, almost the entire time, western discipline also doesnt ride feet parallel, (Im spanish trained) so everyone is different, the way some people are trained isnt the end all be all.

What she is trying to,say is, a soft hand will make the horse lower his head to even out his back and top line, so the horse doesn’t become hollowed back. Use the outside rein to move your horse in that direction, etc...

@@dianereiser6417 im not disagreeing but i want to add, if you think about a horse, like a coiled spring, when you hold the front and push the back, what happens? it gets tight. Thats a good analogy for a horse working its back, when you release the tension in the front a little bit, and keep the same tension in the back, the horse will lengthen their neck out and down, which loosens th back muscles allowing more muscle to get blood and be worked properly, dont throw the horse away, but give and take, when the horse lets out, let them have their head a little bit but dont throw away the contact in the rein

Not only are her heels up, but are behind her shoulders for the entire video. This is not a good seat.

I don't believe she titled the video on proper body positioning. What she is trying to convey is using the outside rein. By moving her feet out of position it allows us to see the importance of the outside rein and, not just the legs. Hence her feet being out of position!

@@almightytwee1188 Heels are kept down and away from the horse to prevent bouncing them into his sides, which would lead to him becoming dulled to your leg aids when you do want to use them. Spurs or not. Also, to keep you foot from sliding through the stirrup. You legs should remain quiet unless cueing the horse for a transition.

@@radchannel5494 you can ride without fully pushing your heels down and not bounce or accidentally cue if you’re good. The cues don’t come from the heel they come from leg pressure and a good seat, heels are just for tapping for more energy. If you don’t have passive leg pressure and a good seat you’re going to bounce even if you break your ankles to go as far as possible. My comment was talking about the origin of riding with your heels down and feet parallel, not flared, which seems to have stemmed from muslim Spain.
