This is all a matter of trust and dependence. If the pony knows it relies on you for its care, it will follow you because it feels safe in your presence.

Alternatively, you could try join-up, which involves a lunge-line.

* Send the horse round you at a canter until you notice the inside ear pointing at you, at which point you should change the horse's direction. * Do the same until the horse has lowered its head and begins chewing or licking its lips.

* Unclip the line and turn away from the horse, dropping your gaze to the floor and ensuring your shoulder points at the horse. * The horse will stop, and probably walk over to your shoulder.

* Take a few steps away and the horse may follow. The horse now trusts you, congratulations.

If you have a shetland pony that likes to follow the bigger horses but they kick at him how do you keep him from following them for the safety of a seven yo boy.?

You will have to do some ground work with the pony and teach it that it is not ok to follow and do what the other horses are do and that he is to do what the person riding him asks. My advice would to go to say an arena or corral or round pen of some sort have someone working with another horse while you are working with your pony. He is going to want to follow the other horse but dont let him and teach him that regardless of the other horse being around that he still has to listen to you.

Is a shetland pony the best breed for 11 year old?

A Shetland pony is a very small pony and will quickly be out grown by an 11 year old, so unless you have other very young children who could ride it, or teach it to pull a cart, then I would suggest moving up to a small horse or large pony.
