So for the last 18 years that I have ridden (a good chuck of that was competitively) I have been taught to keep my toes forward.
Now that I have a mare that I use a little spur on I am not sure how to keep my toes forward but still engage the spur. We have been working on a lot of moving off my leg, side passing and bending and so my little spurs are the tool that I need to make it all happen. (*She is off the track so sometimes they can be dead to your leg, she is great just hacking around but we have been dabbling in Dressage)
Anywho I attached a picture of what my toes look like when I am doing the above/using my spur ... any advice would be great. Oh and I am not going to use a larger spur...
