Which tight muscles causes toe to point out

Take a ride in a saddle with a narrower twist. If the saddle OR the HORSE is too wide for YOUR anatomy, you will struggle with this. WOmen’s femur/pelvis (hip) joint is different from men’s - we NATURALLY carry our femurs more “knock kneed” than men do. When we ride a wide horse or in a saddle with too wide a twist, the only thing our legs can do is toe out to compensate.
I recently changed to a Custom Solo and it is making all the difference in my leg position. It has a narrower twist than my previous saddle… and yes, it DID take time to adjust to the narrower twist.

(g)You might also need to ride with a shorter stirrup.

Are your stirrup bars back far enough? Are you riding with a tilted pelvis - the front corner with the outward pointing toe corner up, and the other one more horizontal?

having my right toe out is something I have been fighting for years, and trying to use muscles to pull it inward won’t help if the center of your body (pelvis) is not positioned symmetrically. Just do not arch your back.
