Hello, my daughter is pony-crazy, so we have a one day a week pony share. She loves it, but he's a bit more lively than the riding school ponies I'm used to, and I'm worried I'm doing something wrong! The other people on the yard say we're fine, but are we?!
When my daughter rides, he often shakes (like a wet dog!). Why? Is it a friendly thing or is he fed up?
He often jumps/bucks/fusses when going from walk to trot. No-one else seems to think it's a big deal! Shall I just ignore it?
How can I get him to stop barging me when I'm leading him?
I'm doing my best but I'm feeling a bit out of my depth today! Have I just got too used to lazy old school ponies, is this just what proper ponies are like? Do I just need to toughen up?!
