Hi
I have a Welsh A mare who is 8 yrs old, I'm wanting to train her to become a good lead rein pony for my kids but I'm not sure where to start.
She is broken and fine to ride, she's great in traffic, but she can be very forward going and can rush off, she can also be jumpy at certain things altough she is lovely natured and I think just a bit nervous.
She hasn't had anything done with her for about 9 months due to me being pregnant, so now I'm fit and able agian I want to start training her and riding her a little myself, obviously I need to build this up slowly but I'm unsure where to start and what sort of things I would be best doing to make her a good lead rein pony.
So if anyone has an idea of a training programme I could be doing any ideas would be much appreciated!
ps We don't have a school to use although there is one reasonably near I could hire occasionally, but I do have somewhere I could lunge/long rein/lead that is off road.
Thank you!
