Hair, just a note, you may know this. Be careful dallying up on ecurbh saddle. His type of saddle is not really made for that even if it does have a horn. They can break under pressure.

Yeah - I do sortof know it isn't a roping saddle, but I hoped if I looped the line around it I could get a little better pull than the pony just dragging my arm off. I fear pulling the saddle over as much as breaking the horn. I'd never tie it off for that reason ;~D
I just think it will take the pony one time of ponying and trotting up when she needs to, to break this mental block she has. Was thinking ecurbh could get behind her and encourage. She isn't lazy, it's something else.
