I think I asked before but I can't find it now what in hand exercises do you do?
I do need to do more with the little boys but honestly I lack motivation, I can't afford to be buying books or tools just now so just looking for ideas on things to do with what I have. Dan leads well enough but hasn't ever been asked to do much of anything (by me or previous owner who had him 11 years). Hank leads well, backs, stands on things, drives, pulls the harrows, jumps in hand and gives pony rides. I did try clicker training with both but they get nippy instantly so that's out. Anything at liberty is currently out as I only have grass to work on and greedy ponies, that will be possible at the new place when we get there.
