Quotes by Susan E. Harris (?)

“A pony who lives outdoors usually has healthy skin and hair and does not need to be groomed daily, except to get him clean for riding and for special occasions. He should be checked over and have his feet picked out every day, whether he is ridden or not, and his eyes, nose and dock should be cleaned. In some parts of
the country, he should be checked for ticks, especially in his mane and tail. Besides that, he will only need currying and brushing with the dandy brush to make his coat smooth. The body brush will not do much good on a pony that rolls every day, and you do not want to remove the natural grease and scurf from his coat, as it protects him from getting wet and cold. After riding, sweat marks should be brushed out or rubbed out with a towel.
Controlling”

“For the walk, count “one, two, three, four” or you could say, “bread-and-butter, bread-and-butter” along with your pony’s steps. For the trot, try humming a song like “Jingle Bells” or counting “one, two, one, two” as you post.”
