    There are 5 basic reasons to groom your horse or pony every day.
    to prevent disease
    to promote health
    to ensure cleanliness
    to improve appearance
    to maintain condition

    Use your grooming time to


    get to know your horse
    really well. You can spot
    nicks and cuts before they
    get serious. You can locate
    heat or pain or swelling as
    you run your hands over
    your horse

    Leading my pony

    A person should never lead a pony just by its halter. This can be dangerous and
    might result in injuries to you or a loose pony. A lead rope should always be
    attached to the halter for leading and tying.

    When leading a pony, it is important to walk beside the pony so that he can't
    step on you. Usually we lead a pony from the left side.

    Your right hand should hold the rope about 25 cm below the halter. The extra
    rope should be held in your left hand, making sure that the rope
    doesn't drag on the ground.

    The extra rope must never be coiled around your hand.

    Your instructor will show you how to hold the rope correctly and how to lead
    your pony safely. Practice often.

    When tying a pony, we always use a quick release knot. This is a special kind of
    knot which allows us to release the pony quickly if he should get into trouble.
    Your instructor will show you how to tie this special knot. You must practice it
    until you can tie it quickly and easily.
