Loving the herd life
The reason ponies get bad raps is because of ponies like the ones at that Therapeutic Riding Stable I worked at for a whole one day. They were bad tempered. They would bite and kick and chase you off if you came to grab their halter while they were eating. They would kick and bite at you when you went into the field. They were not safe, but people let them get away with that attitude which creates bigger problems.
I won't lie, my pony can be very bad tempered, she's 14hh and she is as stubborn as a mule, she will NOT walk forward. She knows I'll give up because I don't want to get run over or bitten and IMO I think it's due in part to the state of her back legs and her issues with mobility BUT she KNOWS she can get away with not moving.
She's going to get quite the wake up call in the spring though Hehehe... My trainer is coming down to work with Mylie and has assured me that Luna will be walking forward and behaving in under a month (seriously, this lady just has to look at a horse and it will all of a sudden be broke to ride LOLOL).
