Hi
I've just aquired a Shetland to keep my mare company. However he is HUGE! I am surprised he isn't crippled with lami!
As well as restricting grazing, keeping him moving in the field and walking him out in hand, I was hoping to get him out with my mare and I. I've never ridden whilst leading before... Do you just get on and go? Any groundwork prep? They are both very laid back and good in traffic, and my mare is only about 14hh so won't be towering *too* far above him!
Tips gratefully recieved!
