| Creek - it's not like he'd be asked to canter, or even trot for an entire hour. lol It wouldn't hurt him any, and he might just get the idea who's in charge. |

| Yeah he's lost his treat privileges sadly- we do scratches as rewards now and he gets a lick for big things like farrier |

| Babies are so lazy and uncertain lmao. I hate ponying the greenies. When you walk him on foot, does he follow you or walk at your shoulder? Do you have to drag him or does he move off/ respond to your energy without the rope getting involved? Work on getting him a little lighter on the lead rope on the ground, and that should translate into ponying. And if nothing else, stand still on your pony and bump bump with the lead rope until he's at your knee. Then step forward, bump bump until he's at your knee. He does not get a release until his head is at your knee. Even if you get on and take one step at a time for a ride or so, eventually he'll realize its easier to just walk forward and stay at your knee than it is to be dragged behind. |

| Oh yeah missed the hour part- he'd be on for like 5 minutes to razz him up haha. I don't hammer babies don't worry! |

| I was thinking you might eventually be able to do a little switcharoo XD get him used to being led beside her by someone, then see what he does if you take the lead rope |

| Lunging a horse for an hour??? And a two year old??? Can you try clicker training and/or maybe some treats (I know two year old and hand-fed treats aren't the best) But maybe something to make the experience positive for both horses |
| Minerva |
| Hmm it might give him a bit more "go" at least lol! Solar I think that's probably what we'll end up doing for a while. I just have to drag someone down with me since I'm on my own haha |

| Have you tried riding while someone else leads him beside her on foot? |
| Pentagram Stables |
| Perhaps lunging him for an hour or so, would take some of the piss n vinegar out of him ? |
| Minerva |
| He's very anti-being-beside-her xD They can be led together fine, and I did ride and lead them down the lane a few weeks ago with only semi drama but apparently practicing in a safe environment is a no-go xD On the plus side, he's had some experience of being loose in the field while she's being ridden now I suppose |
| Minerva |
| Penta I wish I had enough ponies to pick and choose xD Minnie is better as the led one but she's been led off as well. She can be impatient though which doesn't help |

| Now i understand why selling good horses does miracles lol |
