I'm new to driving..... but when driving you should have light contact, right? If you give them slack, they speed up. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. Well our pony seems to think that he needs bit contact when someone rides him too, or he thinks he should speed up. So, you can't have him walk on a loose rein. If the reins are loose he thinks he's supposed to go faster. I want him to be ridden on a loose rein. Is this going to confuse him? Will he understand that it's different with riding vs. driving?
