Ok I have a few polo ponies, one of them is not going to be playing this year as we are putting her into foal, so to keep her ticking over as I have been told to keep her fit is to do a bit of dressage on her.
Ok plus side, she will do all her manouvers immediately when asked for them.
Down side, used to being ridden with one hand and does not have a nicely rounded neck although does hold her head on the vertical and on the bit.
So any pointers with help and tips would be gratefully received. The one thing i know I can't do anything about is the head carriage as she is in her teens and it would be too much to ask of her to completely change the way she has been trained all of her life.
