Answer
Hello Catherine,
I can not train your pony for you by sending you an email but I will give you a few suggestions. I would turn your pony out with other horses as much as possible, that way he will have the exercise of playing with his friends.  I would work on lounging your pony in a circle around you, you can give your pony all the exercise he needs if you lounge him. Have you ever lounged before? Give it a try and if you run into a specific problem let me know and I will help you come up with some ideas.
Best Wishes,
Caitlin
