Hi Everyone, I pony a lot of
different horses down the trail. I start in the round pen to teach the horse
where I want it to stay-nose even with my knee and about 2 feet away. I adjust
the speed on the horse I am riding to get that and click and reward the instant
the horse being ponied is in the right spot. Repeat several times until the
horse gets the idea. I use voice cues (walk, whoa, trot) so both horses know
what I want. Usually a couple of sessions in the round pen and arena and they
are pretty good so I venture down the road. Hope this helps, Karen
Parker
