"Balls to the fore"

[Mossy]

The title is a quote from Lucinda Green, passed on by a pal of mine. Now I have will freely admit I have a tendency to swing my legs back, which in Heather's saddles tips you forward. Now I don't like it, my horse does not like it, and she is an an expressive soul, and umpteen RI's have done their best to cure me. One report from a training clinic and my entire pelvis has changed position, my legs are therfore underneath me without actively fighting to keep them there. and I feel much safer.
Madam is much impressed by her Mum not wobbling and is therefore going better. If one comment can be a light bulb moment for this died in the wool wobbler, I thought I would pass it on

Excuse my stupidity but is this referring to the balls of your feet going forward   *hopes it is that and that I haven't totally misunderstood*

  Excuse my stupidity but is this referring to the balls of your feet going forward  Embarrassed *hopes it is that and that I haven't totally misunderstood* 

Crieky it never even occured to me that it was refering to the feet   

[Casper]

[Mossy]

Nor me

[crdodgeon]

Er, nor me, which goes to show what wavelength I must be on!! 

[Mandeigh]

Phew I was begining to think it was just me

I've often thought that this is the reason that men so often have such a good natural seat, even when they are complete beginners.  The presence of the aforementioned articles meaning they are less likely to tip forward and adopt the fatal crouch

[Mandeigh]

or is it the fatal crotch position
