May well be, but they do not sit straight during the canter, twist the shoulders and rock the upper part of their body - rather than having flexibility through the hips. All this blocks the pony from going forward.

'Blocking' means preventing a horse from going forward - and in this instance may well have been why she may have had trouble keeping him going.....
