I have a 15 year old Arab gelding who does the same thing when he is too idle
for periods of time. With him it is pure high jinks.  It goes away with more
consistent riding.  Could this be true of the pony?  And of course, the pony
could be just testing the child to see if she can handle him.  I'm not sure if
this is much help, but it's my observation.
