It's looking much less likely these days but if we ever did ponies I know who to ask for help from ;D (and also who to recommend if anyone ever needs help working with horses).
What a wonderful compliment @ryivhnn, thank you! I'd be happy to provide assistance where possible. We'll likely saddle her up today again and see what we can achieve. It's starting to get exciting, but still comes with a sense of apprehension. The calm environment we've created doesn't entirely remove the danger inherent in working with such large and fast animals, so fingers crossed!
