Breaking in a Section A

[LuandLu24]

I have a field ornament a-hole section A pony. He’s about 6 and I want him to do More than eat and poo as I want to eventually loan him to a child, once he learns that biting knee caps is unexceptable. I weigh around 9 and 1/2 stone so I won’t be breaking him in.

How do you go about breaking these little creatures in? Do you find a small adult? A confident child? Help.

if sending him away is an option, there are various lightweight adults that specialise in small ponies/natives. depends where you are?

Echo MOC. I know several small adults who break & produce everything from Shetlands up to larger ponies & horses.

Where are you? I know a fab girl over in Wales who does a lot of breaking - she is really good, tiny and does a lot of racehorse breaking. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.

I know someone near Hull... spealises in native ponies too and is tiny.

I break them to drive... then by the time you have a child on them, they're already reliable and steady.

A guy next door broke mine in and he is about that weight, he wasn't on her back for long but just long enough each time. I did most if not all the ground work at the beginning including biting and saddle and he just did the ride part. I would do it yourself with help if your experienced enough and have someone to help but do all the groundwork first.

Love breaking in little ones... so much fun and less far to fall! Where are you OP?

Do the groundwork yourself then get someone to finish the backing. I sent my 13h away for 2 weeks, and since have paid someone to come most weeks to ride him. We now hack out together and I lunge him once or twice a week. I'm losing weight to ride him and do sit on for 5 mins sometimes just for the practise for him and he carries me fine. I'm about 10 stone

You could do a lot of "spook busting" things like the Horse Agility obstacles, in hand. Leading over poles, over tarpurlin, through a maze of poles, standing still in a circle, seeing flags flapping, getting used to rugs on and things trailing round their back legs.
