A rope that is stretched tight can be very
dangerous situation. Fingers that are caught in this type of situation are very
vulnerable. This can happen ponying or roping cattle and most recently in the
news in a tug-a-war fight where a young man lost some of his fingers.

Wow, Barbara, you are quite fortunate to say the very least.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, that wants to learn to pony a horse, whether
young or old, needs to go to a race trainer, that has a race track on their
farm (because on track rules/regulations/liablility will not allow that
training), and take lessons! You will notice they do not pony a
horse off of it's Mother, Pasture Mate, and/or Stable Friend.
