Answer 1

Since your heels are supposed to be lower than your toes, your spurs should be tilted towards the ground.

Answer 2

there suppose to be titled in towards your horse so when u give them a slight, easy, kick, it go digonaly into them and causes less damge instead of u kicking and poking him hard and leaving marks.

Answer 3

The need to be tilted towards the ground, or you would always be hitting you horse
