Working with a Lead-line Pony

The pony is learning to target the ball, then to follow it, and to push it around.



Riding on the pony. He was a lead-line pony and no one knows if he was ever ridden without being lead. It seems like he's not sure if he should move unless he's lead by a ground person, so we're having him target the ball, as he did without a rider, only this time he has a passive rider on him.

Pony and Clicker Training

This is an approximately eight-year-old pony, a good lead-line pony, but not fully trained. He has not yet been exposed to following a feel, and has a couple of small problem areas and some resistance. The resistance may be due to being uneduated in the area of "feel".

He has only had a couple of clicker training sessions prior to this one, and loves it. He is very quick to learn.
