"Balls to the fore"

I didn't think it meant feet either, but then I have an other half who rides and he actively ~cough~ encourages his bits to be forward when riding!

I do hope he never reads this!

the image of rootling around down the jods nearly made me have an accident

Actually, there's on gee at our yard who's got a very high pommel to his saddle, and that's all too often been my OH's undoing, esp in the early days! (Do they have a 'wince' smiley??)

Gotta love Lucinda - she is one of my all time equestrian heroines 

Me too, and I confess, the er........balls of the feet did not occur to me either !!!!!!!!

LOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! you know I had to use the exact same thing to cure my cousin!!! Instructors around here get studens tipping their pelvis back so much that the lower back seems to be breaking in half! no matter how I tried to correct her back and legs nothing worked! untill I said: "Imagine you're a man" (her saddle is a castrator forceps). MIRACLE!!! she imediately tilted her pelvis forward and sat correctly!  we both laughed like hell that day

or is it the fatal crotch position 

Very good!
