  • I sure hope my pony doesn't do that when I start showing dressage! The only reason she might not would be because she's too lazy to jump anything.
    Leave it up to the ponies to cause all the trouble!

  • The poor pony went where the rider was directing it...straight. And the horse was obviously not happy with the tight reins on a bit. Try bitless bridles and you're horse may respect you more:) All must remember to look where they are going first!

  • Looking where you want to go would have helped, and this pony needed to be worked down more before the test. Lunge that POA.
