The horse is built for speed, and its muscles are bunched at the top of its legs. The horse's knee is called the stifle and is only slightly below the 'body' level.

The fetlock is the first toe joint - the horse stands on the tip of a single toe.

This is a very common riding fault. It's very important to be aware of the position of your heel. Your shoulder, hip and heel should make a straight line perpendicular to the horse's topline. If your heel and shoulder are not where they should be you may get 'left behind' the vertical. It also may be helpful for some extra practice in a two-point position over ground poles or cavaletti's.

What clothing is unsafe when riding a horse?
A very basic but widely ignored rule is footwear. Boots made specifically for riding. A heel with a 1/2 inch heel. This heel will keep your foot from slipping through the stirrup and being drug if you fell off. Boots will also help if your horse accidently steps on your foot. There are riding sneakers and they have the required heel height but they are not much help if your horse stands on your toe. Long, dangling earrings can get caught on a multitude of things, as can bracelets and rings. All clothes should fit well but not too tight. They should not be too loose either, too baggy and they can get caught on something. It is always a good idea to ride with an approved riding helmet instead of a western hat.
