Heels down over fences- struggling to do so

OP, I would wager you are pinching with your knee in the air. If you’re coming out of your heel, the support is going somewhere else and the most common place is the knee.

Justice,

I have pictures of this.

Step 2

Step 2 close up

Step 3

Step 3 different view

Over saddle close up

not sure that is helpful to you or the OP. I don’t think this would stop someone from lifting their heels…(as long as they did both at the same time and were pinching with their knees to stay on. )[/QUOTE]

Totally off topic, but your saddle is gorgeous.

And, what is the exercise meant to help?

thanks! I adore my saddle. Those pictures are when it was brand new.

The exercise helps if you are a leaner. If you weight one stirrup more than another. If your stirrups are set up like this, and you lean into one too much, off that side you will go. It forces you o stay centered.
