Location: Northwest Florida | I'm very surprised that so many people are suggesting this pony is unable to be fixed or should be hauled off to an auction. We don't have videos to watch or any idea of what her true behavior is... How could you suggest something so severe with such little information?
What I'm picturing is a little pony that loves her job, rearing to go in the alley way, and getting back on her haunches. She probably needs to do a lot of relaxing in the alley and the arena. Walking in and out, taking her to the alley to dismount, taking her in the arena and not allowing anything faster than a dog walk.
If it doesn't work out and she still scares your daughter, then perhaps she needs to move on to a home with a more confident, rough and tumble little kid that likes one rearing to go, and you can find one better suited for your daughter.
This is not a malicious or dangerous behavior that justifies a ride in the big silver stock trailer by any means. Good luck with your pony. | |

Not sur if this link will work. This is her two years ago...lt me see if I can find one of her more hot.....
I Found some more vidoes on my computer and watching them has made it obvious to me, the issue is that the pony wants to go and the kid wants to go slow.....pony asks to go, kid gets nervous and pulls n reins and then pony is on the muscle and frustrated cause it wants to do its job,,,,,..kid gets more scared. It was so good to watch those videos. Even though my daughter won't be riding her anymore it was good to see how it all came to be.....for a while I was stumped why our perfect pony was acting like that but now after seeing it. I have a better idea how I handle it......alley work, making her go the speed I ask, and finding a kid who is not timid to enjoy her. I have made a few runs on her in the past few days hoping to see her at her worst but honestly, she's been fantastic, goes out , smokes a run and then comes back and walks.....she's just happiest doing her job, but I she does still need to be respectful enough to go slow too so I will keep up with homework .

I PM'd you. In my opinion rearing is the second scariest thing a horse can do when you are on their back. It is probably one of the hardest things to fix as well.
whats the first scariest? | |

Location: Wide open spaces, Canada. | Always an angel at home or small jackpots, but at a rodeo with announcer she gets hotter like I said our neighbours 9 year old competed on her all winter, she was quite on the muscle but that kid couldn't care less and they did fine, I just want to get it under control
