I think far too many people take ponying far too lightly. It ISN"T easy nor
safe nor does it come "naturally" to a horse. It takes training, time, patience
and frankly, some aged experience on the part of that pony horse. Not just
any horse can be safe doing this. I have seen and unfortunately been in company
with people who thought that they were good enough horse men/women to pony
another hors eon down the trail. After being nearly wrapped up in a few of their
lead ropes ( don't these people KNOW to keep the horse being PONIED up close to
their knee?) I don't ride with people ponying anymore. I feel like the bull's
eye in target practice for a lot of these people. NEver mind when Bint Tagalong
gets away and plows past my horse...sigh
