[RC] Ponying.... - Karen Sullivan

This got me to thinking that probably anyone who takes a child on an endurance ride (or perhaps any horseback ride) or anyone who sponsors a junior should probably have a horse that is okay ponying another horse...as accidents do happen....and you never know when you might have to pony out the second horse with a disabled rider.  Twice my daugther got really bad mirgane headaches while riding (once at Camp Far West), and I had to pony her horse so she could concentrate on just holding on....and once I ponied out a strange horse where the rider had a head injury....
 
It's also something any well trained saddle horse should be able to to do...
