Hi, Dave!   How is little Minuet doing?  Ponying is such a good way to get 
her used to things, and accept "confinement" of halter and lead rope while 
moving along! It is a good chance to reach out with your boot and bump here 
along her sides, pat her on the rump, and even lean on her a bit.  All of 
these things really prepare her for saddleing;  One thing I would advise is 
to get her used to ponying from the LEFT side also.  It would be great to 
get her used to stuff happening on her Right side;  the young ones need to 
"see and feel" you from Both sides.  Clinton Anderson would say "you have to 
train Righty, too."    renie
