You are clearly out of your depth with this one. Don't do anything else with it and send it away to someone with enough experience to produce it correctly and sell it on for you before you make a problem pony worse. These ponies need very careful handling and can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, which - no offence - but it sounds from reading your previous posts you really don't know how to manage this.

I don't mean to sound harsh, I have refrained from replying to your posts before, but please let someone else deal with this before you have a more serious accident than you have already.
 
thaks for the reply maiai really should give up, i turned bra round who was wild guess i will leave it there, thanks to every one who has helped me on here but maia has just confirmed its time to give up and leave horses/ponys to the experts!!
 
You don't have to give up altogether and you know full well thats not what I meant!

You just need to let someone who knows exactly what they are doing deal with this pony before he either gets ruined or injures you badly.

Get yourself a nice, safe, been there done that type and a good instructor to help you start enjoying it again without the worry about what might go wrong. Maybe take a break from owning and get some experience and confidence back at a local riding school?

Sorry but I think this is a rather silly response to what was good advice from Maia. I too have read your previous posts and whilst you may have managed to turn one horse around, you are clearly out of your depth with the new one and it would be dreadful for yourself or this pony to be seriously injured as a consequence of what seems to be your stubborn-mindedness! If you weren't after sensible advice why did you even post in the first place?
 
I thought you were sending this pony back? If you are, then surely the best thing is to leave well alone for both your sake and the pony's.
Please could you make your signature a bit smaller - it is making the page huge

Surely if you were totally confident you could turn this pony around, you wouldn't be asking "should we go back for more?"

I didn't read that as being sarcastic or anything, I think she has genuinely decided that she should stop before things get any worse. Well, that's how I read it anyway.

considering your previous attempts, during the last 4 yrs i think that your decision is very wise.
 
I also read her reply as a genuine one. Didnt sound sarcastic to me?

I dont think she should give up horses for good (although dont know her background) but simply that this horse isnt suitable for her. With this one, if she's able to send it back then certainly do so! But get something suitable instead, one that doesnt have issues.
