Min, he sounds like my pony! Just needs to learn a little responsibility about walking forward instead of being dragged every step ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah it'd hurt, small circles are the worst for babies. Great way to do damage to their joints. And chasing a horse on the line isnt exactly the best way to establish you're in charge ๐Ÿ™ƒ

That's great Puck, thank you! He naturally likes to put himself behind me, although we've been working on that and he's much happier walking out nicely now. When we're out and about he plants a few times right at the start, then likes to march. He's definitely more of a woah than go pony, which will be great when I'm backing him in a few years, but not ideal with ride and lead haha

Going in circles for more than a few minutes is not good for baby joints

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
01:19:58 Min
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?

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

That explains why Ted has his face in her Bum

Ted is 2 for clarification, so he definitely isn't the ridden pony xD

Sort the tack into 3 piles. 1 pile has clean, undamaged tack, 1 has the clean but damaged tack and the other has undamaged but dirty tack. Your next step will be to clean the undamaged but dirty tack pile. After everything is clean. Try to pick one or two of everything for each horse. The grooming supplies can go into storage. The damaged stuff will need to be thrown out. They will just continue to clutter up the place. Do not keep more than three of anything. Trust me. I own a horse in real life. I have to do this once a year myself. If anything can be repaired, go ahead, if it can be repaired, you can sell it after that and get some of your money back.

Let me know if this helps. If you need any more help. let me know. I will bookmark this forum discussion so that I can check in every couple of days.

Take only as many tack as you need, it unnecesary to take everything when you use only one or two.
If you can mix their feed, so you can keep it one barrel insread of five-six smaller container.

What I did was I'd buy 2 weeks food at a time and prepare it in ziplocks. So they'd get one ziplock in morning and one at night. Each horse had 1 trash can and each can had the bags of grain. Saved on space because I only had 1 trash can for each horse instead of 2 and several supplements.

For tack, I'd get a cheap plastic drawer thing and put any tack you use sometimes but not super frequently in one drawer and grooming/first aid supplies in another. Frequently used tack should have a rack.

I feel your pain so much, I went from having a whole shed and two trailers to keep my stuff in to and 5x6 foot space haha. I ended up pulling my tack dolly out of our shed at home and have my two saddles, bridles, lunge lines, halters, and 5 sets of my favorite polos, splint boots, SMBs, and 3 sets of bell boots all crammed on there. I also super recommend the professionals choice grooming bags, I literally have 4 or 5 brushes with 3 different bottles of stuff in there plus room for thermometers, electrolytes, and other goodies (and treats). Everything else I keep in totes and leave them in my garage. If I know I will be needing something (like my clippers) I can just throw them in my car and its easy peasy. As for feeds, we have pretty much unlimited space so I probably won't be much help for that haha! My mom uses an old dresser to store feed for her chickens, I imagine a 4/6 drawer dresser would repurpose splendidly for horse feeds as well. Hope you can pick something out of my rambling that is useful haha!

When I boarded at a barn that has no personal space I did this:

Kept horse trailer on property. It had a dressing room so I kept my stuff in there.

Then eventually I sold the trailer. So then I had to deal with limited space in the barn tackroom.

They had saddle racks. Which was fine.
And I packed all of my stuff into a large plastic tub.
You'd be surprised how much you can fit into those.

And I agree about baggies for food / supplements.
In my experience, boarding barns never give proper food / supplements if you just toss a feed bag / container into the feed room.

They *might* do it better if it is already prepared.

But in the end, I never had much luck with that, and they did what they want anyways.

My boarding experience is very different from Eveร‚โ€™s.
Where I board my horse gets full feed. I have a trunk to store my stuff.
I only have one saddle and bridle. The rest goes in my trunk.

Measure out the supplements and put them on stacking containers then label each stack with the horses name and each container with what day they need that supplement. You just made a weeks worth of measuring done in a day.

I will be prepping their feeds because Chief is on a very special diet so I can't risk it being messed up. I moved them yesterday but because I worked I only took a few things with me. I'm moving all their stuff in a bit. They both have a trunk in front of their stalls so I am putting their blankets, brushes, boots and wraps etc in there. I'm still struggling to figure out where to put all their extra random tack items, my vet kit, tack cleaning stuff, show stuff etc. Also they both have like four halters each and I have a rack each here to hang it all on but I don't know where to put it. As for feed I have their grain in these giant Tupperware containers (three, one for each grain) and I have zero idea if I should bring them. Everyone else uses trash cans...

Makes sense I wouldnร‚โ€™t risk it for my horse. My horse just gets hay so I donร‚โ€™t really need to prep my feed.
