Answer
Hi Charlotte!

It seems to me that you do not own the pony, Chiffy.  I cannot give training advice to non-owners of the horse because of legal reasons.

It also seems to me that you are stuck and so is the pony.  I would tell the owner that she or he may need to hire a professional trainer to get this little guy over his difficulties before he begins to act out and hurts someone or himself.

Good Luck and remember to always wear an ASTM/SEI approved helmet!
