When you take the pony away from the herd, he no longer feels secure. They do not know the way to react in any other way than fight or flight ( and for a pony, its generally flight ).
You do not desire the saddle skirts to rub the horses hips. Six. What's your budget? Be reasonable in your expectancies. You can find few leather saddles for under $500, so be practical. Seven. Consider what you're going to do with this saddle. Yes, the trail saddle looks nice, but you wont rope off it for long. All these queries have to be considered to insure a good fit. It is not personal, its just what horses do, so do not hold a grudge when your pony continues to test your capability to steer the herd. Bonding and socialization : Perhaps the most vital thing you can do is spend time with your pony when you do not expect anything of him except basic good manners ( standing still whilst you pick his feet and groom him, and no biting or kicking ).
