I can't for the life of me find information on how to pony a mini from horseback. I'd like to take my mini with me on some trail rides and I'm not sure what is the safest way to go about it. I've seen some people leave their mini loose, but I think mine will likely find trouble. I've had one person suggest braiding my riding horse's tail and tying the mini to that. The horse I would be ponying from is a submissive, older Fjord mare. I honestly think the mini could push her around in a pasture. I do not believe she would kIck at my mini. Can someone please tell me if it is the same as ponying a full-size horse? Any tips you would like to give?
 
I think the most important thing is that your mini have a good relationship with the horse(s) you are ponying with. It would be ill advised to just all the sudden pony the two while they are still strangers. I would just use a long lead rope to pony.
