Answer
Hi Teresa,

I need more information to give you an educated answer. How long have you had this pony?
Did she just start doing this? Is this the only time she is not forward from your leg?(when you are riding her with others)
How is she in a ring? How long have YOU been riding? What kind of bit do you use?
If she just started this you have to consider physical problems first.
Do not blame pony and beware of people who label your pony.

There are probably quite a few non-abusive techniques that you can use to work through this but I need to know more details.

You can do it through EXPERTS.
Also my email is Summersdressage@aol.com, but let's try it through EXPERTS first.
Write as soon as you can with more inforamtion.

A lovely , quiet pony needs more consideration before you give up on her.
