Small pony trainer in Scotland?

[musk]

Hi,

I am looking for a trainer based in Scotland that would be able to take a 12hh (lightweight) pony for schooling. I am looking for someone that is sympathetic and gentle and would be able to iron out some issues that we are having with the pony without resorting to gadgets, overly strong bitting etc.
The pony is broken and was doing nicely off lead rein but has started taking advantage of my child and I am not sure if it teenage tantrums that can be stopped or not (pony is 6)
Recommendations from people that have used any trainers would be gratefully received.

I would recommend Joanna Heaton of Balanced Horsemanship in Fife. She has a FB page and a light weight rider / sensible methods. She's done the ground work with a few ponies for me. I don't have the insurance for taking ponies in I'm afraid.
