Jack is a good boy,
but he doesn?t neck rein. Something new to work on I guess. My mare who
is the one being ponied is the ?Boss? mare and loves to bite him on the butt
in the pasture to get him moving, but fortunately behaves when we are
ponying. ? I just hope she keeps being a good girl. At least if
something should happen and the lead rope gets dropped I know she will stay
with us. She is very herd bound.

Re: [RC] Ponying
i havent lost too many through the
years. if you work slowly so that your mare understands what you are trying to
get her to do you should be ok. even with my baby horse if she pulled back i
just turned my horse to her and then regrouped. i like ponying, especially if
the one you are riding knows their job and doesnt give you a hard time. of
course neck reining is a must!!! good luck
