Clumsy Or Cheeky?

When walking my pony anywere she is garenteed to stand on my foot atleast 5 times. I don't know whether this is just clumsy behaviour or something I can correct?

Maybe you're walking too close to her feet or turning her inwards when you lead?
Lottie has stood on my feet a few times but I was always too close to her, except for when she stomped her foot when she was irritated by flies... now THAT hurt.

Sounds Painfull! Lolly will walk as close to me as she can even on a long rein. O Maybe I just need to keep nudging her further away ?

You can definitely correct this behaviour. May I ask how you lead your pony? Does she/he stay at your shoulder? Do they move with you? Do they push into you or remain a respectful distance from you?

Because it sounds like she/he does not have respect for your personal space. You need to teach her to lead correctly, focus on you and respect your space.

Clinton Anderson has a nice video on this (one of many, you can search YouTube for them):

Yeah I'd keep nudging her away so she learns to keep her distance. My other horse Tazz does that a lot, so when we're walking I normally hold the lead rope in my right hand but just use my elbow and apply pressure on his shoulder to stop him moving closer in :)

Looks like she just loves you so much she wants to stay with you haha :)

That video is verry hulpfull thankyou. Yes I completely forgot to mention she does push me and cut me off but I thpught it was because sh wanted to get to the grass on my side. Obviously im too soft lol. That video was a greast help thankyou.

Thats what I thought heather untill I seen that video then I felt privalidged so I didnt really want to nudge her away incase she felt I was pushing her away from me lol.

Haha fair enough, well nudging works for me :)
Plus tazz is scared of whips so that video didn't really help.. haha

Lolly is ok with whips so I shal try that. Nudging will work for me for now but I would love for her not to need the nudging ( as you have to give her a pretty big nudge lol).

[Although none of my business, but my mare was also scared of whips (from previous abuse) and I just had to desensitive her to them and now she's fine with them on the ground. Also, I found that I didn't need to use a whip to do this, the lead line and my own body posture are more than enough to get a horse out of my space.]
