what does it mean when they say a pony is forward moving?
i was wondering what is means when they say is your pony forward moving im not into the terms on horses as i have ridden for pleasure in paddocks but i am selling a welsh12.3h gelding and people have been asking if our pony is forward moving.
To me it means that he has been trained to move off with impulsion, bringing his quarters under him and with energy coming from the rear forward. Many horses are trained just the opposite, with a" headset" and energy coming from the front backward. If the horse is heavy on the forehand, leaning on the bit, hollow backed and strung out behind, he is not forward moving. A forward moving horse is rounded, the back is elevated, forehand is lifted, and the neck is lowered with the horse reaching for the bit. Collection is achieved when he is brought onto the bit and that forward energy is captured between the forehand and the hindquarter, with the hind legs reaching far underneath the horse as he works.
Even if he hasn't been trained in collection, if he has been trained to move out with impulsion, that is forward moving.

AGF A MAJOR SURPRIZE Half-Arabian Country English Pleasure Horse FOR SALE!!!
Ex-polo ponies as pleasure horses?
Your experiences? I have a friend who's considering getting one for a trail horse. She's experienced, but wants to know more about them.
Oh, and why do a lot of them have such ugly necks?
Like these: http://www.ingleshampolo.com/polo_ponies_for_sale.html
Is there a reason for that?
I didn't say they were ugly... just their necks.
Thanks for the information, everyone. I appreciate it.
Your friend should be just fine with a retired polo horse, Mandy- and I am speaking as the sister of an active player who occasionally takes her horses on trail rides during the off season, and sometimes, on off days in the summer months. NONE of my sister's polo horses are spooky or hard to control on trails- in fact, they are just the opposite. Playing polo tends to make a horse spookproof ( one might even say BOMBPROOF, which is what a lot of our guys are) because they get used to being in close quarters with other horses and people all the time, plus they get used to things like gunshots, whistles, airhorns, and crowd noise, because all these things are common at matches.
As for the neck issue, this is simple to explain. Polo ponies ALWAYS wear martingales, for two reasons: one is control, and the other is to keep the horse from throwing its head around when the reins are pulled on, or when a rider stands up in the stirrups to hit a shot. If the pony throws its head around against the martingale a lot, this tends to muscle up the underside of the neck.
I hope that helps.
