Please don't think I am being rude, or not taking you seriously - but the best way to acheive this is to find a good instructor rather than advice on a forum when we can't see you or your horse
 
Hello,
I hope you have fun with your pony. Please don't be tempted to pull pony into an outline, or force head down. Focus on her working forward, relaxed and straight. A knowledegable person on the ground will be able to help you. Good luck, and don't get caught up in head down/in/outline stuff.
 
The link above is very good, from the links section, look at step into dressage. I had some lessons from the man who writes this. I am not a dressage expert, but I enjoyed the lessons and I got some valuable advice. I'll continue lessons once funds and snow allow, its really worth it.
 
hi, she's still a bit of a baby at 5 so i would concentrate on her rhythm, straightness and balance for now. make sure her teeth have been done well and recently before you start asking her to go forward to a contact. keep thinking forward (without rushing her), and make sure she listens to your aids. those would be a good start... then, i agree with the above, an instructor would really help you along. best of luck!
