It could be that the pony has an attitude. A lot of pony’s and smaller horses do. She needs to learn that you are in charge and not her. She probably senses your frustration and gets a kick out of it. You never want to hit your horse or beat it but I agree with you instructor, really tap her sides or whip her with the crop in the rear, not multiple times, once should be enough. If not, you may need to spend a bit of bonding time?

I have been riding ever since I was seven, and I am nearly sixteen now. My mother has been teaching me. This part of the video reminds me of my mare. We’ve gone through the hard times, shes got scared a lot, and sometimes you get to frustrated you want to give up. Don’t. Never hit your horse when they mess up. I found that reassuring my horse when in competitions seemed to help her. After each jump a soft mumble ‘good girl’. It helps, it really does. You really need that horsemen ship. Love.
